BRATISLAVA, SL OVAK IA
(JTA) — More than two months
after the liberation of all of
Czechoslovakia, anti-Semitism is
still rampant in Slovakia, and no
steps have been taken to annul
the anti-Jewish laws introduced
while Slovakia was an "inde-
pendent" puppet state of the
Germans, a survey by a Jewish
Telegraphic Agency correspond-
ent reveals.
Jewish communal aid religious
activities, however, are beginning
to revive in the larger cities of
Slovakia, although only 12,000
Jews remain of the 135,000 who
resided in Slovakia in 1942.
About 5,000 of the other 123,000
escaped abroad, and 115,000 were
murdered by the Germans.
Four thousand Jews are in
Bratislava and Jewish communi-
ties exist in Kosice, Nara, No-
vezamsky, Dunstreda, Presov and
Zilina.
The majority of the young
Jews want to leave the country
as they feel that there is no fu-
ture here for Jews.
Jewish Brigade Unit
Shifted to Belgium
BRUSSELS, (JTA)—The Jew-
ish Brigade, which has been sta-
tioned on the Italo-Austrian
frontier since the cessation of
hostilities, is being transferred to
Belgium and is expected to ar-
rive here any day, the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency has learned.
The Brigade will be stationed
at Tournai, near the French
frontier. Palestinian companies of
the Royal Army Corps and of the
Royal Engineers will remain in
Italy,
Capt. Leon Shalit, son of the
late Mark Shalit, British Jewish
industrialist, who has arrived
here with an advance unit of the
Brigade, expressed his outrage at
the sight of thousands of Jews in
"liberated" German and Austrian
camps who are still "confined
like prisoners, treated like ene-
mies, underfed and wearing their
old prison garb, without being
given any hope for the future."
(A report this week stated that
the Jewish Brigade will be as-
signed to duties in Germany).

JERUSALEM (JPS-Palcor) —
The recall to leadership of the
Mufti of Jerusalem, Ha Amin el
Husseini, reportedly high on the
war criminals list because of his
complicity with the Axis, has
been agreed on at a meeting held
July 31 at Amman, capitol of
Transjordan, between Emir Ab-
dallah. Transjordan's ruler, and
four leaders of Arab parties in
Palestine,
The meeting decided • to re-
establish the Palestine Arab
Higher Committee, which was
dissolved on government order at
the time of the 1936-39 riots. The
committee is to open headqUart- -
ers in Jerusalem.
The recall of the Mufti, exiled
from Palestine as leader of the
riots, was implied in the decision
of the meeting to leave the chair-
manship of the Arab Higher
Committee vacant for Husseini's
return,

Austrian Jews Back
From Theresienstadt
VIENNA (JTA)—With the ar-
rival here of 360 Jews from the
Theresienstadt conc e n t r a t i o n
camp, the Jewish population of
Vienna, which once numbered
180,000, totals slightly more than
8,000. Of these, about 6,000 are
married to non-Jews and 1,300
returned in recent weeks from
camps.
A JTA correspondent who wit-
nessed their arrival was struck
by the fact that they were mainly
middle-aged and elderly. There
were no children. One of the ar-
rivals told the correspondent that
the Nazi had given high priority
to the extermination of all Jew-
ish children up to the age of 14.
