Jewish Population in
Vienna Estimated at 1,000

BERNE (WNS). Vienna, once
the third largest Jewish commu-
nity in Europe, is now peopled
by 1,000 Jews, most of them
aged persons and children, ac-
cording to a report carried by
the Swedish newspaper "Dagens
Nyheter," a copy of which reach-
ed here this week.
The Swedish newspaper dis-
closes that the remaining Jews
in Vienna are being provided for
by a Jewish communal organiza-
tion whose activities are devoted
chiefly to emigration activities.
The newspaper, however, quotes
its correspondent as having stated
that the Nazis estimate the Jew-
ish population of Vienna at be-
tween 5,000 to 7,000. The Nazi
estimate is based on the conten-
tion that thousands of Jews have
been permitted to remain in Vi-
enna because their documents,
"although spurious," show that
they are either air-raid victims
from Germany or members of the
Tyrolian Fascist Party. The cor-
respondent also disclosed that
more than 30,000 homes confis-
cated from Vienna Jews are now
occupied by the Nazis and that
the "aryanized" business enter-
prises are being operated by
Germans.

Just before it adjourned to

the openness of his anti-Negro

point to widespread bigotry.

and perhaps even closer. Sole
hope is that election day will be
just around the corner. That may
silence a few of congressmen's
tongues and sway a number of
votes.
