The Chief Rabbi Armin Frieder, Chairman of the United Jewish Communities in Slovakia writes a memorandum to the Central British Fund for Relief Abroad. First he is explaining how this organization was founded and aproved by the Slovak National Council in 1945. Before the war Slovakia had 120.000 Jews, only 25.000 survived and these are now organized in this organization. The Jewish communities in Slovakia suffer from missunderstanding by the Slovak National Council regarding the return of institutions, buildings, grounds and property which once belonged to this Jewish Community. They hoped to rebuild the community without help from abroad but unfortunately they can not support themselves. Therefore Armin Frieder is asking the British Fund for help in rebuilding and reconstructing the Jewish life in Slovakia.
