Frankfurt Jews plan
community center
Bonn (JTA) — The cornerstone
of a 15 million Mark new Jewish
community was laid in Frankfurt
this month in the presence of local
civic and Jewish community lead-
ers. The city of Frankfurt is pro-
viding 7.5 million Marks toward
its construction. Mayor Walter
Wallmann, who spoke at the
ceremonies, hailed the contribu-
tions of many generations of Jews
to Frankfurt. The cornerstone of
the structure is inscribed with the
names of the 10,231 Frankfurt
Jews deported to Nazi death
camps and the more than 7,000
others who committed suicide to
avoid that fate.
