“On May 4, 1949, the first anniversary of the State of Israel was celebrated by the Jews of America in every community from coast to coast… In New York City a mass demonstration was attended by 150,000 persons.”
This pamphlet, issued by the American Zionist Council, contains the pathos-filled oratory of Abba Hillel Silver, Senator Paul Hyde Douglas, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and Major Aubrey (Abba) Eban, all who spoke on the extraordinary day.
