BERNE, Switzerland (JPS)
Thousands of Italian Jews are
fleeing into the mountains to
escape the round-up by the Mus-
solini puppet-government and
Gestapo agents • operating in Nazi-
occupied Italy, it was reported
by the Badoglio radio, and heard
here.
Those rounded up are first in=
terned in concentration camps
and then deported to forced labor
camps or extermination centers
in Poland. Many who have fled
into the mountains have joined
guerilla bands and are striking
back at the Axis.
The newspaper, Bund, publish-
ed here, states that all Jews in
occupied Italy were ordered in-
terned and their property con-
fiscated. Those of mixed par-
entage were plated under police -
surveillance.
The Vatican radio is reported
as having broadcast appeals to
the Italian populace denouncing
the persecution of Jews and de-
claring that all observers of the
Chistian faith sympathize with
their Jewish brethern in the hour
of need. Cardinal Carmani has
sent a note to the Fascist Party
of Italy strongly protesting the
anti-Jewish legislation r e c o m-
mended by the Party Congress
held recently in the city of
Verona.
The Pope is said: to have aP-I
pealed to Nazi authorities against,
the burning of. Holy scrolls and:
other sacred writings taken from
the synagogues and Jewish -Corm;
munity libraries, and to have of-
fered sanctuary in the Vatican'
for Jewish religious articles.

during his visit of religious col-
onies in Palestine.
The sacrifice and courage of

Gold.
The local campaign for funds
of the Religious Labor League
will be concluded in two weeks.
Contributions may be sent to the
treasurer, Isaac Shetzer, 142 E.
