000 Jews, including many ref-
ugees from Nazi Germany, escap-
ed from Belgium before the in-
vading Nazi Army tightened its
hold on that country, it was re-
ported here. Approximately 15,-
000 Belgian Jews are now living
in temporary camps in France.
The Jews who escaped from
Belgium constitute one-third of
the total Jewish population, in-
cluding German-Jewish refugees,
in Belgium at the time of the,
invasion. Jews remaining in Bel-
gium are for the most part young
men fighting with the Belgian
troops and elderly folks who
were unable to stand the gruel-
ing trip to England and France.
