UN Urged to Fight Anti Semitism Worldwide
An American U.N. representative urged the United Nations to denounce anti-Semitism as a New York court charged three youths with treason for Hitler sympathy. Reports of anti-Semitic outbreaks appeared in the U.S. while Europe saw a recent lull. Germany’s swastika vandalism declined after government hardening and cold weather. The draft resolution, presented by Justice Philip Halpern, calls on the U.N. to condemn anti-Semitic displays as violations of the U.N. Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and to press member states to act. In New York City a judge ordered treason charges filed against three youths for conspiring for unlawful purposes. Separate incidents included vandalized Jewish cemeteries in Chicago and swastikas painted on a Jewish center at Ohio University and a Detroit high school student’s home.
