Berlin Jewish Community
Wages Fight for Property

Municipality Still 'Owns' Everything Confiscated by Nazis;
3,500,000 Marks Remain 'Frozen'; Only 6,000
Jews in German Capital

BERLIN, (JTA)—The Jewish
community in Berlin is fighting
a hard :battle to secure return
of its property confiscated by
the Nazis, which is still "owned"
by the Berlin municipality.
While in the American:theld
zone in Germany steps have been
taken to restore property of reli-
gious bodies to the owners, this
principle has not been put into
effect in Berlin where the Nazis
seized many buildings belonging
to the Jewish community, which
were used in pre-war days as
homes, for • aged, synagogues, or-
phanages, schpols and for other
Jewish social, educational and
religious purposes.
. Homeless Lack Shelter
The Berlin Jewish community
lacks shelters for the homeless
and Offices. But its repeated re-
quests for the return of at least
one of its properties have been
met with the reply that the
property belongs to the city.
The . Jewish community here also
finds it difficult to draw upon
its funds deposited in banks.
These fun& are reported to
amount to 3,500,000 marks, but
the accounts of the community
are still "frozen" and the lead-
ers of the community have been
enable to draw upon this sum.
Only once have they received
any financial help, as an advance
against the religious tax.
Only 6,000 Jews in Berlin
A provisional executive 'com-
mittee of the Berlin Jewish com-
munity is carrying on the work
of reviving Jewish life in the
city under the chairmanship of
Erich Nelhans. Preparations for
the elections of a new executive
on a democratic basis are now
being completed: The elections
will take place within the next
few weeks.
At present there are about
6,000 Jews in Berlin. They are
made up- of •ithe following cate-
gories: 1,155 released frciin con-
centration camps; 1;050 who
lived in Berlin illegally during
the Nazi regime; abodi 2,000 who
were married to non-Jews and
therefore received .. sortie degree

"Mogen David;" about 1,600 mar-
ried to non-Jews, whose children
were also raised as "Aryans"
and who did not have to wear
the "Mogen David." The total
includes also about 100 children,
14 years of age or younger, and
about 800 non-German Jews,
mostly of Polish origin.
Deprived of their former
homes and possessions, the Jews
in Berlin are in great need of
beds, blankets, mattresses and
bedding. A request from the
Jewish community council to the
German city officials for these
items was rejected. There is
also a great need for clothing,
shoes, overcoats and warm un-
derwear. A number of Jewish
children, orphaned by the Nazis,
and now in a children's home in
the suburb of Pankow, go about
barefooted, or must remain, in
bed because of lack of shoes.
