Dr. Franz Kobler, lawyer, schol-

San Francisco at age 83. He left
friends in London, Jerusalem, New

for Jewish and Zionist research

the war was "Jews and Judaism
in German Letters from Three
Centuries."
He arrived in London in 1939,
and became in the same year a
co-founder of the Institute of
Jewish Learning, where leading
personalities gave lectures regu-
larly to guide the audience to
the sources of Judaism and to
promote Jewish knowledge. He
was a member of the National
Council and of the research
committee of the WJC.

on the aspects of international law
in relation to Nazi crimes against
humanity and on indemnification,
which was submitted to the chief
counsel of the United States. Dr.
Kobler and Dr. Steinberg also for-

storation of Jewish cultural treas-
ures in Europe. He published two
important books in London: "Let-

America, where he continued his
research work. His study on
"Charles Henry Churchill" was
