Neutral sources in Stockholm state . that 10,000 Jews
were killed by. the Nazis as a result - of the report; which
has since been denied, that is was a Jewish refugee who
suggested that the British demolish the Ruhr dams.
All Jews Removed from Belgium
. The Belgian Information Center reports that nearly all
the Jews already have been removed from Belgium.

month ago, and it is believed that there are no JeWs left
there: There were less than 1,000 Jews there a decade ago,
althbugh the Sicilian Jewish pbpulation numbered 100,000
prior to the Spanish Inquisition.
In the meantime,. Jewish guerillas continue to operate
in Poland and are an important factor in the underground
movement harrassing the Nazis..
Fascists Resorting to Propaganda
It is reported-that . .62 Jews confined in the labor camp
at Vyhen; - Slovakia, have been murdered.
• In order to divert popular attention from the defeats
they are now suffering, the Fascists in Italy again have
resorted to widespread propaganda accusing the Jews of
responsibility for the war.
A German-published "documentary volume" is being
circulated to convince the Italian people of the guilt of the
Jewish people.
From Zurich comes the interesting report that the
German radio has admitted that Jewish guerillas are most
active in the rear of the German army in Russia and that
a guerilla unit composed entirely of Jews has been rounded
up and "wiped out entirely."
mittee of the Jewish Welfare Board last week outlined a
record of activities in Detroit and the state of Michigan which
has won the commendations of leaders throughout the land.

Soviet Jews Urged to Aid
Quest for Palestine State
47,000 Hear Rabbi Wise's Stirring Plea for Russian
Cooperation in Unified Jewish Front at Rally
Honoring Visiting Delegates
NEW YORK, (JTA)—The hope that Jews in Russia
will be given an opportunity to cooperate with the Jews of
other countries in'the building of Palestine as a Jewish Corn-
n-ionwealth was expressed here by R abbi Stephen S. Wise,
Dr. Nahum Goldmann, Sholem Asch and other prominent
American Jews addressing a huge open air reception at the
Polo Grounds here, attended by 47,000 Jews, in honor of the
Jewish Cultural Delegation from the USSR, composed of
Prof. Solomon Mikhoels and Itzik Feffer.
"In you: country, as in our own, our brother Jews must
be free to be builders and rebuilders of Eretz Israel, the
Jewish Commonwealth, not merely the. land of Palestine,"
Rabbi Wise said. He declared that "had England, the United
States and France heeded the Soviet insistence upon .collec-
tive security, Hitler and Mussolini, and later Japan, could
not have made their savage assault upon mankind and
freedom.
Jews Have Role In Post War World
Dr. Goldman, chairman of the administrative committee of the
World Jewish CongresS, said that the first visit of two representa-
tives of Russian Jewry to the United States was an event of deep
significance not only for American Jewry but for the whole JeNvish
people It is of the greatest importance to World-Jewry, he said to
have the great. Jewish community of Soviet Russia re-integrated
into the life and the affairs of the Jewish people.
"During this war we have lost most of the Jewish community
of Eastern Europe and therefore the Russian Jewish community,
which is the second largest Jewish community in the world, will
have to play an important role in shaping the future of the Jewish
people," he stressed.
Sholem Asch emphasized that American Jews expect the Jews
in Russia to help bear the responsibility for the Jews of the world.
He expressed the hope that the Russian government will secure a
homeland for the Jews after the war.
Einstein Asks Mutual Understanding
Prof. Albert Einstein sent a message expressing regret that he
could not appear at the gathering, and emphasizing that "at this
grave time, when so many of our people have fallen victim to the
murderous lust of Germany, it is of peculiar importance to preserve
and cherish the solidarity of the Jewish people. Such solidarity can
only further the cooperation and the mutual understanding of the
Russian and the American people."
Henry Monsky, president of the Bnai Brith, in a statement read
by Maurice Bisgyer, Bnai Brith secretary, said that "we should
emulate the Russians in the standards which they set up of equal
treatment of races and of people. I take pride in the fact that 600,000
Jews are serving in the Soviet Army and countless others are brav-
ing danger in the guerilla units which attack the Germans behind
the lines."
The rally, held under the auspices of the Committee of Jewish
Writers and Artists and of the Jewish Council of Russian War
Relief, was opened with the singing of the Star Spangled Banner,
the Hatikvah and the Internationale.
Soviet Army Avenging Atrocities
"The Red Army," Prof. Mikhoels said, "avenges the bestial
atrocities of the Nazi enemy. Shoulder to shoulder with all the peo-
ples of the Soviet Union, the Jews of our country wage battle
against the enemy. We are witnessing now the most righteous, yea,
the holiest but also the bloodiest and most gruesome, war. The
unity and brotherhood of thp United Nations will decide the strug 7
