H. G. Turitz of Gothenburg, New Representative for Jewish
Agency in Scandinavia, Declares 700,000 Survivors
Desire to Go to Palestine

Convening in a room draped with two huge
blue and white Zionist flags, the first Jewish
displaced Persons' Congress formally opened
Sept. 25 in the presence of .200 delegates repre-
senting more than 50,000 Jews in over fifty
displaced persons camps on German soil. The
keynote of the Congress was inscribed on a
large banner, carrying the words, in Hebrew
and English, "Open the Gates of Palestine."
Armed guards have been removed from the
gates of former Nazi concentration camps in
the U. S. occupied zone of Germany, where
thousands of homeless and displaced Jews are
still being held. The removal was ordered by
General Eisenhower on the recommendation of
Chaplain Judah Nadich, his consultant on
Jewish affairs. Inmates of the camp are now
permitted to leave camp grounds to visit in
the surrounding area.
