Detroiter Describes Plight of Jewish •
Refugees in Hungary, Tells of Massacre
250,000 Jews
Left in Poland
LONDON (WNS) — The Jew
ish community in Poland is not
expected to be over 250,000,
even after all the survivors re-
turn, it was estimated here this
week by an official of the War-
saw Government.
At the same time it was re-
ported that the Central Commit-
tee of Polish Jews, in a broad-
cast over the Lublin radio, de-
nied that there was any credence
to the rumor that the new Pol-
ish Government had refused to
agree to the return to Poland of
Polish-Jewish refugees in Soviet
Russia.
The committee pointed out
that the Soviet repatriation de-
cree, signed last week, specifi-
rally provided that returning
Polish Jews "will receive the
same assistance from the state
as all other Polish nationals,
while the Central Committee of
Polish Jews will give all possible
help to returning Polish citizens
of Jewish nationality."

NEW YORK.—Jewish soldiers
in the American Army of Occu-
pation have constituted them-
selves an informal, but very effi-
cient committee for the help of
displaced Jews, the daily mail of
the Hebrew Sheltering and Immi-
grant Aid Society (HIAS) re-
veals.
Not a day passes without at
least one letter—frequently there
are more—front an American
Jewish soldier pasing on vital in-
formation to the HIAS Location
Service, or asking HIAS to help
in the emigration of rescued in-
mates of Nazi concentration
camps.
One soldier sends a list of 11
young women who were rescued
from Camp Sazwadel, in Ger-
many, and who seek to make con-
tact with their relatives in the
United States. He gives this col-
lective message from them :
"We are in a critical situation.
After long hardships and hard
slavery in a German camp we
were liberated by Americans. We
are all young and able to work.
Please help us come to America,
because each of us has a relative
there who will take care of us
until we find work.
"Our experience is horrible and
indescribable. We have seen our
next of kin mercilessly burned
before our eyes. We are alone
and have no one to turn to."
Plight of Frankfort
Jews Desperate
FRANKFURT (WNS)—Of the
more than 30,000 Jews who
lived in Frankfurt in the pre-
Hitler days, only 600 survived
the Nazi rule.
Among the 600 survivors are
140 who escaped deportation.
The others have recently re-
turned from various concentra-
tion camps. One survivor said
that the Germans had deported
7,000 Frankfurt Jews to There-
sienstadt, where all but 326
were killed.
The plight of the Jews in
Frankfurt, once a prosperous
Jewish community, is desperate.
Most of them are ill, homeless
and helpless. Their situation is
aggravated by the fact that
upon returning to their homes
they found disilusionment all
around them. Nazis who dis-
carded their badges before the
Allied. armies occupied the city
are occupying their homes. The
survivors had hoped that, upon
their return, they would regain

Heading the Jewish commu-

a former professor of economics
at the ' University of Heidelberg,
who said that he had made sev-
eral fruitless efforts to secure
greater supplies for the Jewish
survivors from the Allied occu-

executive officer of the Frank-

that the Jewish returnees from
concentration are in need of
greater supplies of food, cloth-

told that all Germans, Jews and
non-Jews, are treated alike.
