HUNGER STRIKE
JEWISH DEMONSTRATION
(Rec. Noon.) JERUSALEM, April 12
Fifteen leading Jews, after a medical examination, were chosen from 100 volunteers for a hunger strike unto death, if necessary, with the object of demonstrating solidarity with the Jewish fasters at Spezie and “arouse world opinion to the tragedy of the Jewish survivors in Europe.” In addition a Jewish dusk-to-dawn general strike and a 12-hour fast has been called for April 14, the eve of the Passover.
Several of the strikers are national figures, including the chairman of the executive committee of the National Council for Palestine Jews, David Remez, Mrs. Golda Myerson, a member of the executive committee of the Jewish Federation of Labour, and Mrs. Elisheva Vromen-Snape, Dutch Jewish women’s leader, who was formerly an inmate of the Belsene camp.
