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 PAGEL'S, Inc.

Heading the Jewish commu- nity is Dr. Albert Adelsberger, 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- pation forces.
