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. • Expecting the attack on Sicily, the few remaining Jews oh that-, island were evacuated by the Fascists less than a 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.

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 gle .
