On July 21,
a day after the Ninth of Av-memorial day for the destruction of the
ancient Temples in Jerusalem-20,000 people gathered at Madison
Square Garden in New York, with additional thousands standing
outside, to protest against the Nazis’ atrocities. The
participants issued a communique lauding the valorous spirit of the
trapped Jews and urging the United Nations to give thought to the
Jews’ tragedy and to express their resolve to bring the Nazis to
trial. The statement expressed the commitment of American Jewry
"to make any sacrifice to help the United Nations in their
struggle for freedom and human decency." |
