NEW YORK (JTA—Dr. Nahum
Goldmann, president of the World
Zionist Organization, has called
upon American Jewry to support
the 1965 campaign of the United
Jewish Appeal, and has strongly
endorsed the building of a "House
of Jewish Communities" in Israel
to be made possible by UJA's Coun-
cil of Organizations. He spoke at
a meeting, which took place at the
Astor Hotel, at which the Council
discussed development of plans for
its 1965 fund-raising drive.
Urging the construction of the
House of Jewish Communities as a
"monument of monuments for
world _Jewry," Dr. Goldmann said:
"This will be a museum for Euro-
pean Jewry, for the Galician,
Polish, Lithuanian, Hungarian,
Czechoslovak, Romanian and other
Jews. It will be a museum devoted
to the great achievements of Euro-
pean Jewry during one thousand
years of history."
This great museum, the Bet Hat-
fuzot, will be established in the
heart of Tel Aviv, on the campus
of Tel Aviv University, and will be
the largest building there.
