THE

Storch, Rescued Survivors

NEW YORK - (JTA) —
Hilel Storch, who
negotiated the safe delivery
during World War II of
thousands of concentration
camp survivors and refu-
gees to the Allied armies,
died April 25 in Stockholm
just short of his 81st birth-
day, it was reported by the
World Jewish Congress.
One of the unsung heroes
in the rescue of Jews during
the war and after, Storch
arrived in Stockholm as a
refugee from Riga. In Stoc-
kholm, as the official repre-
sentative of the WJCon-
gress and of the Jewish
Agency, he devoted all of his
time, energy and resources
to the work of preserving
Jewish life.
His initiatives during the
war led to the liberation of
several thousand concen-
tration camp inmates and
their transfer to Sweden. In
subsequent efforts, Storch
played a crucial role in ob-
taining the admission to
Sweden of 20,000 camp sur-
vivors, 10,000 of whom suf-
fered from tuberculosis.
Throughout the post-
war period he cam-
paigned to secure politi-
cal and material support
for Israel, particularly in
the critical period im-
mediately preceding and
following the creation of
the state.
Last year, the WJCon-
gress established a fund in
honor of Storch's 80th
birthday to enable a com-
prehensive study to be
undertaken of the rescue
work in Sweden during and

If the tradition of including the Jewish
National Fund in the Will of every Jew were
in Variably followed, sufficient resources would
be accumulated to ensure the future of the
young Jewish State on a sound basis of kind
development, social welfare, and justice.

A bequest ,ito the Jewish National Fund
should be as traditional as having a Blue Box
in one's home.

You may want your bequest to be
dedicated to afforestation, to a village, a
Mich lah, to a children's play area, to perpetual
yahrzeit or Kaddish, or to some form
permanent tribute in the names of persons
dear to you.
