Friday, SepTemtier 7, 1945 THE JEWISH NEWS Palestine Celebrates Return Of 1,305 from Mauritius Plan to Exterminate All European Jews Discovered By AMG British Warship Brings, Back 'Illegal Immigrants' Who Spent 5 Years on Island in Indian Ocean; Jews Close Shops to Hail Returnees at Haifa HAIFA (JPS-Palcor)—Forcibly deported from Palestine in 1941 as "illegal immigrants" and told by the government that they never would be permitted to re- turn, 1,305 Jewish refugees interned on Mauritius Island in the Indian Ocean ever since, were repatriated to Palestine aboard the British warship Franconia Aug. 26. Thousands of Jewish residents thronged the harbor and vicinity in a spontaneous, up- roarious welcome. Their deportation five years ago caused incomparable tension as Jewish Palestine learned that they were aroused in the middle of the night, driven out of their barracks at the Atlith camp, loaded into vans, many of them only half-clad, forced aboard the ship, struggling with their captors. When news spread throughout Palestine that the Fronconia, known to be returning the Mauritius . internees, .was sighted off Haifa, Jews closed their shops, workers left jobs and rushed to- ward the harbor. From Tel Aviv, and Jerusalem, too, and from distant colonies people set out for Haifa to greet the internees, many of whom have children, brothers and sis- ters and other kin in Palestine. With the refugees on the Fran- conia were representatives of the Jewish. Agency who had sped earlier on official word, to assist in preparing the speedy. disem- Latin-American Jews Hit 'One-Stop Experts,' Author Josephs Says WASHINGTON, (JPS) — The 600,000 Jews in communities all over Latin-America, "are anx- ious to cooperate with their North American brethren in all Jewish affairs, but feel that such cooperation will be limited until there is mutual understanding between them and us," Ray Josephs, author of "Argentine Diary," asserts in an article ap- pearing in the National Jewish Monthly, published by Bnai Brith. Latin-American Jewish com- munities "want no more hop- skip-and-jump visitors who fly. to South America for a brief stay and then return to New York as 'experts'," Mr. Josephs says. They don't want Jewish leaders from New York and else where "to .handle them in the same way Latinos in general feel Uncle Sam handled them in the past. They want no Yankee imperialism in inter-American Jewish relationships." barkment of the passengers. All screening, sifting and registra- tion had been completed by the time the ship anchored. Dr. Bernard Joseph, • acting chief of the Political Department of the Jewish Agency Executive, boarded the ship and greeted the arrival s. Haifa was bedecked with flags. The stevedores un- loading the ship and removing the passengers by lighter to the dock were all Jews of the Ogen Transport Co. The majority of the arrivals were taken to rest houses to convalesce, while children, of whom there are 139, and youths left for Kibutzim (collective settlements), for the newly built Jewish Agency flats or to stay with relatives.

Jewish Congress Takes Orders for Overseas Parcels MUNICH (JTA) — American military authorities have dis- covered in a private home here many documents belonging to the Office for Research on Jewish Problems established by the Nazis under the supervision of the notorious anti-Semite Alfred Rosenberg. A valuable collection of ancient Jewish liturgical manuscripts was also found. American authorities also re- ported that they have discovered files proving that the Nazis had mapped plans to exterminate all Jews in Europe. The plans were prepared under the supervision of Hermann Goering, who as the files show, ordered the Gestapo to carry them out. At the invitation of Reinhard Heydrich, Gestapo leader who later was assassinated in Czecho- slovakia, 13 high Nazi and gov- ernment leaders held a special conference on Jan. 20, 1942, at which they discussed the com- plete annihilation of all Euro- pean Jews, the records reveal.
