Author(s) Philip Mendes AbstractIn 1961, the Council mobilised support in the non-Jewish community for the action of the Government of Israel in placing Adolf Eichmann on trial. Council speakers addressed more than a hundred meetings in Trade Unions, Labor Party branches and church organisations, and a number of articles appeared in the Labor Press all over Australia. The Council also protested strongly to the Soviet Ambassador in Australia against the publication in the Daghestan Kommunist of a vicious 'blood libel' alleging that Jews drank the blood of Christian children for ritual purposes.
