A total of 1,600 Jewish com-
munities throughout the coun-
try have begun extraordinary
preparations for Fall campaigns
to raise record sums for local,
national and overseas causes.
This is the largest number of
communities ever to conduct
welfare fund drives in the Fall
period.
Included among the commun-
ities is Detroit, where the Jew-
ish Welfare Federation's Allied
Jewish Campaign again will
operate through the War Chest
of Metropolitan Detroit.
Plans Under.. Way
Welfare fund campaign prep-
arations which are now under
way in various sections of the
nation will come to a climax
with the beginning of the New
Year 5706, (Sept. 7) which will
mark the launching of intensive
drives to support national and
local agencies and to sustain, re-
build and resettle the hundreds
of thousands of Jews who have
survived the ordeal of Hitlerism
and now look to the Jews of the
United States to help them find
the road back to a life of free-
dom and security in Europe
and Palestine.
Campaign quotas have been
set at higher levels this year
than in any previous drive. The
keynote for far greater giving
has been sounded by the Jew-
ish community of Boston, which
has adopted the record quota of
$3,000,000 for its 1945 Combined
Jewish Appeal, setting the pace
for all-out effort in every sec-
tion of the country.
Other Communities
This year's drive in New Eng-
land's first city will mark the
completion of 50 years of organ-
ized Jewish communal endeavor
in Boston.
Among the other leading com-
munities preparing for their Fall
campaigns are Denver, Colo.;
Evansville, Ind.; Lexington, Ky.;
Shreveport, La.; Fall River and
Springfield, Mass.; Camden, N.
J.; Rochester, Schenectady, El-
mira and Poughkeepsie, N. Y.;
Greensboro, N. C.; Toledo and
Youngstown, Ohio; Tulsa, Okla.;
Johnstown, New Castle, McKees-
port, Sharon-Fallell and Union-
town, Pa.; Providence, R. I.;
Charleston, S. C.; Norfolk, Va.;
and Charleston, Huntington, and

Students, whose activities were
halted during the European war,

Congress, been re - established

The organization was formed
originally in London in 1920 for

and maintained schools, libraries
and homes for students of _Jew-

out.

Find Two-Thirds of 600,000
Pre-War German Jews Alive
Special Wire to Jewish News
By PAT FRANK
FRANKFURT (JTA) — The
first official estimate of what
happened to Germany's Jews
during the Hitler regime, com-
piled by the inter-governmental
committee of refugees, was re-
leased Tuesday.
P. M. Malin, committee repre-
sentative attached to American
headquarters, emphasized in re-
leasing report that figures are
not final or complete, but it is
unlikely that they will change
radically.
The report discloses that about
two-thirds of the estimated
650,000 full Jews who lived in
Germany, and 75,000 v,rho resided
in Austria, before the war,
escaped extermination through
emigration. These figures would
seem to indicate that from the
point of view of actual survival
the Jews of Germany fared bet-
ter than those in any of the other
countries occupied by Nazis.
The report estimates that
10,000 to 20,000 Jews still live in
Germany and Austria. _Between
450,000 and 500,000 found asylum
elsewhere. All others died. From
1933 to 1941, when Jewish emi-

tee estimates 175,000 German

Republics and British dominions.

Switzerland and France.

the committee reveals. Of these.
the majority were deported to
Poland and few, if any, are alive.
Most of the others were sent to
Theresienstadt where compara-
tively few survived. Eight hun-
dred of these survivors are now
in hospitals in Regensburg.
The report says it is impossible
to estimate accurately the num-
ber of part Jews in Germany in
1933, but believed that there
were at least 300,000. Most of
these part Jews did not attempt
to escape from the Reich until
too late, and as a result their
casualties in murder camps are
comparatively higher than
others. The committee thinks the
majority of them were killed.
