Tel Aviv Streets
Named After Books
TEL AVIV (JPS-Palcor) — It-
is the custom the world over
to name streets for outstanding
personalities, including literary
figures. This city has named its
streets not only for writers, but
for their book titles as well. A
record of the street names and
their history is contained in the
"Book of Tel A v i v Street
Names," edited by B. Mintz and
A. Steinman with the participa-
tion of a staff of journalists, and
issued by the public transport
co-operative, Hamaavir.

of the Dagens Nyheter, a Stock-
holm newspaper.)
The paper states that the af-
fairs of these remnants of Aus-
trian Jewry are being cared for
by a Jewish communal body
which has its offices on Seiten-
stetten Street. Its activities are
devoted chiefly to emigration.
This body, the paper reports, has
a staff of twenty-five which in-
cludes a number of doctors.
"The Gestapo," the Swedish
newspaper continues, "claims that
in addition to these 1,000 Jews:,
there are between 5,000 and 7,000
more in Austria, all living there
illegally on documents showing
that they are either air-raid vic-
tims from Germany or Fascists
from the southern part of the
Tyrol. The Gestapo says that it
cannot take any measures against
them because their documents are
all in order."
One-Third of Czernowitz's
80,000 Jews Still Alive
MOSCW, (JTA)—About 25,000
Jews remain in Czernowitz, cap-
ital of the province of Bukovina
—the survivors of a Jewish pop-
ulation of more than 80,000—it
is reported here by the noted
Soviet war correspondent and
playwright Konstantin Simonov
who visited Czernowitz while
touring the fronts.
Czernowitz was occupied by
the Germans on June 25, 1941,
only three days after they had
launched their attack on the U. S.
S. R. Immediately after their
entrance, the Nazis ordered a
registration of all Jews. On the
basis of these lists they summon-
ed 3,000 to 5,000 young jews to
appear at a designated place
every Monday. Of these ten per-
cent were shot.

000 Jews resided before the out-
break of the war, only 1,500 Jews

ities reported this week. They

mately 100,000 Jews who were
unable to evacuate the city prior
to its occupation by the Germans
and Romanians, about 99,000
were massacred by the occupation
troops.
Of the Jews who were not de-
ported, about 16,000 were burned
to death in a building which had
been used to store dynamite;

Seized Jewish Furniture
BERN, (JTA)—Fifty truck-
loads'of confiscated Jewish furni-
ture have been distributed in
Paris during the last few days to
people who suffered from Allied
air raids, the Paris radio reported
this week.
The broadcast revealed that an
agreement has been reached un-
der which a proportion of furni-
ture confiscated from Jews is as-
signed for distribution among
Frenchmen who lost their mov-
able property in air bombing.
