Jews and the
U.N. Conference:
a Place at the Table

This article was filed from San Francisco, where the world’s delegates had convened to write the UN Charter:

“The Jewish Labor Committee, representing 500,000 AFL and CIO members, yesterday called on the United Nations Conference to adopt a 13-point program assuring the rapid reconstruction of the Jewish life throughout devastated Europe…”

“Adolph Held (1885 – 1969) also supported the request of the interim committee of the American Jewish Conference that the parley make it clear ‘that no action of the San Francisco Conference would tend to prejudice the existing rights of Jews in respect to Palestine or to the prejudice of existing rights of Jews to immigrate into Palestine.'”
