The statement also demanded the creation by the United Nations of a tribunal to try 'those responsible for the perpetration of crimes against humanity, ' and the removal of all racial barriers. Discussing Jewish post-war reconstruction, the leading rabbis and laymen from all sections of the country who participated in the Institute stressed that after victory has been achieved by the Allied Nations, the Jews, who were among the chief victims of the Nazis, must be given homes and opportunities to rehabilitate themselves. ” - 'World Inter-faith Council is Urged by Institute on Judaism', JTA Archive, December 27, 1942.
