THE JEWISH NEWS
177 Survive in Nuremberg;
Denied. Return of Homes
Eisenhower Deplores
Jewry's Sufferings
"great sympathy for the tragic
suffering of very many Jewish
people under German tyranny"
in a message to the World Jew-
ish Congress received by cable in
New York from the British Sec-
tion in Londan on July 12.
The message was inspired by
Yehudi Menuhin's packed-house
concert for the benefit of the
Congress' relief and rehabilita-
tion fund for Jews in Europe on
July 11, in Albert Hall, London,
under the patronage of John G.
Winant, American Ambassador to
Britain. •
Menuhin said he dedicated the
concert "in memoriam of those
people martyred at the hands
of Fascism" and expressed the
hope that "the music we play
ring out forevermore untrammel-
ed by prejudice and hatred."

NUREMBERG, Germany, (JTA)—Of the 10,000 Jews
who lived in this citadel of Nazism, from which the in-
famous anti-Jewish racial laws derived their name, only
177 have survived-37 in concentration camps and 140 who
succeeded in remaining hidden throughout the Hitler regime.

Survivors Destitute
All the remaining Jews, in-
cluding those who escaped de-
portation, are destitute. How-
ever, they are receiving the same
food -rations given United Na-
tions nationals, unlike Frank-
furt whose local military gov-
ernment ruled that the Jews be
given the same ration as other
Germans despite the years of
malnutrition they were forced to
endure.

inally scattered all over Europe,
have in the past several weeks
arrived in the Tyrol. They are
waiting—most of them—for a
chance to move on to new per-
manent homes in Palestine, the
United States, Brazil and France.
Since they do not want to go
back to their former homes, they
have come here—on foot, in
trucks, and on bicycles—from
such infamous' places as Dachau,
Buchenwald, Auschwitz and
Mauthausen.
NEW YORK, (JTA) — Andre
Siegfried, the author of "Amer=
ica Comes of -Age," anti-Semitic
excerpts of which were used in
a correspondence course sent to
servicemen by the U. S. Armed
Forces Institute, is now lecturing
before American soldiers and
sailors in Paris.
The current issue of the Bar-
nard College Alumnae Magazine,
published in New York by the
Alumnae. Association of Barnard
College of Columbia University,
prints, a letter by Addie Bostle-
man, a- graduate of Barnard who
is now employed as a Red Cross
worker in Paris. Reporting on
a lecture program conducted by
the Red Cross for American ser-
vicemen stationed in the French
capital, Miss Bostleman writes
that "our next speaker is Andre
Siegfried."
Meanwhile, it was learned-that
M. Siegfried was a member of
the French delegation to the San
Francisco conference, as an ex-
pert on American affairs. He
does not hold any official posi-
tion in the French Government.
The French Information Service
here said that as far as is known
Siegfried, who remained in
France during the Nazi occupa-
tion, did not participate in the
resistance movement. They as-
serted, however, that he was not
a collaborationist.
The University of Alabama,
from which the Armed Forces
Institute purchased the anti-
Semitic course, discontinued us-
ing the Siegfried material in its
own classes as of last week, ac-
cording to a War Department
spokesman.

Like all Jews remaining in
Germany, they have discovered
that the Nazi anti-Jewish meas-
ures are still in effect as far as
their property is concerned. They
have been unable to recover their
homes and their possessions be-
cause there is no legal machin-
ery set up as yet for restitution.
The military government will
not eject Germans and reinstate
Jews without due process of law.

Hide in Foster Homes
WASHINGTON, (JTA) — The
return of 1,200 Jewish children
to Amsterdam after years of un-
derground existence has been
announced by the "Netherlands
News."
Credit - for saving the lives of
the children, it reports, goes to
a Dutch student organization or-
ganized in 1942. The organiza-
tion placed children, including
two-month old infants, in foster
homes under assumed names to
save them - from Nazi persecu-
tion, and kept records showing
the real name and assumed name
of each child, the town where it
was hidden and the addresses of
the foster parents.
One thousand Netherland
Jews, including prominent pro-
fessors and doctors imprisoned
at the Theresienstadt concentra-
IIP tion camp, have been flown back
to Holland in 30 transport
planes. Five hundred Jews lib-
erated from the notorious West-
erbork transit camp are expect-
ed to be returned to their home
towns in •Western Holland in
the near future, in view of the
improved food situation in that
area, it is reported by the Neth-
erlands civil affairs administra-
tion.
The 30,000 German Jews who
fled into the Netherlands after
1941 will not be considered
enemies, although of German na-
tionality, a Netherlands govern-
ment decree of April 20 has
ruled.
Few Jews in Poland
LONDON, (JTA)—The Jewish
community of Poland is not ex-
pected- to exceed 250,000 persons
when all survivors have return-
ed, it was stated here by rep-
resentatives of the Warsaw Gov-
ernment.
Dr. Edward Dreznik and Dr.
Henry Kolodziejski, members of
the Polish finance commission
which came here to take charge
of Polish assets in Britain, also
told a group of prominent Poles
here that 7,000,000 Polish citizens
were killed by the Germans, in-
cluding 3,250,000 Jews.

the surviving Jews, told a Jew-
ish Telegraphic Agency corre-
spondent that there was little
hope that many more would re-
turn. Twenty-four survivors
brought home from the There-

other Jews from Nuremberg con-
fined there had either been mur-
dered or starved to death. Those
who survived in the city did so
through the influence of non-
Jewish friends.
