Many of these surviving Jews
are eager for a Jewish State in
Palestine, Dr. Sommerstein said.
"The 5,000 Jewish children res-
cued from Nazi hands must find
their way from Poland to Pales-

that the reactionary elements in
Poland, "having hundreds of thou-
sands of Jewish lives on their
conscience, want to destroy the
remnants of Polish Jewry, but
are being vigorously combatted
by the government."
