Dear Mr. President: May I express to you the deep thanks of the American Jewish Congress for the message you sent to the meeting it sponsored in New York City to mark the 10th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi con- centration camps by the American and Allied Armies. It is my high privilege to convey to you the profound gratitude which the meeting expressed for the deep, human understanding of the prob- 1ems of the liberated persons which you demonstrated in 1945 and for your magnificent contribution to their rehabilitation. Present at the meeting and joining in this expression of gratitude were hundreds of persons who themselves had survived the ordea1 of the concentration camps, many persons who had served under your command in the army forces at the time of the liberation, Jewish Chaplains at- tached to the American army, several persons who had served as advisors on Jewish affairs to you and those who succeeded you in command of the American Army in Germany, and leaders of scores of national Jewish or- ganizations and movements. I am, Sincerely yours, SAnd Jernson Israel Goldstein IG:pd President 303
