Newly found letter shows Martin Buber's concern over the fate of Polish Jews in 1945

A recently discovered letter from February 5, 1945, reveals that Hebrew University scholars, including philosopher Martin Buber, urged their colleagues to assist European Jews, particularly those in Poland.

The letter emphasises the deep ties between the university and Polish Jewry, highlighting a commitment to support the survivors through aid packages.

This appeal underscores the immediate post-liberation awareness and responsibility felt by Jewish academics in Palestine toward their European counterparts.

The document was found during archival preparations for the university's centennial celebrations.
