JDC Assists Jews in Berlin
With Supplementary Aid

Appointed on National
Famine Emergency Council

NEW YORK, (JTA)—Within
the ruins of Berlin today, 7,000
German Jews are coming to life
out of hiding and concentration
camps for the first time in more
than 13 years, Philip Skorneck,
Joint Distribution Committee re-
presentative in t h e German
capital, reported at a press con-
ference held here under the
auspices of the United Jewish
Appeal of Greater New York.
Mr. Skorneck, who returned to
the U. S. after carrying out re-
lief and rehabilitation activities
in Berlin for six months, said
that "Berlin's Jews are engaged
iii a grim struggle for existence
in a cold, roofless, inflation-
ridden city. Most of the German
Jews now living in Berlin are

Picture Story of
A 'New Citizen

In an illustrated article -en-
titled "Refugee Doctor," the cur-
rent issue of Look magazine sym-
pathetically a n d dramatically
, tells the story of Dr. Frederick
Bohensky, a native of Czecho-
slovakia now living in Copen-
hagen, New York, as typical of
the "new citizens of the U. S.—
which boasts of Plymouth Rock
but was populated by Ellis Is-
land".
A series of nine photographs
shows Dr. Bohensky practicing
his profession and mingling with
neighbors in the upstate New
York town where he and Mrs.
Bohensky settled with the aid
of the National Refugee Service,
whose work is supported by the
$100,000,000 campaign of the
United Jewish Appeal.
Among the pictures are sever-
al showing him working at his
desk, on which are photographs
"of his brother, mother, father—
killed by Germans"; examining
school children; checking up on a
baby he delivered; and going out
on skiis to visit a patient at night
in a secluded farmhouse.
The Look article points out that
this "refugee', fulfills his duties,
earns his way as a citizen of
America."

Veterans, Chaplains
Opposed to Special
Jewish Vet Groups

NEW YORK, (JTA) — Organ-
ization of Jewish veterans into
specifically Jewish groups, was
opposed at a conference here of
former enlisted men and Jewish
chaplains, sponsored by the Jew-
ish Reconstructionist Foundation.
Most of the speakers asserted
that their problems and interests
as veterans were no different
from those of veterans of other
faiths and did not warrant the
establishment of special associa-
tions.
Mrs. Rose Jacobs, only woman
member of the Jewish Agency
executive, who presided at the
meeting, praised "the spirit of
defiance with which our broth-
ers in Palestine are withstanding
the threat to their existence."
All speakers stressed the need
for immediate opening of the
gates of Palestine to the displac-
ed and refugee Jews of Europe.
Most of them reported that they
had been attracted to Zionism as
a result of their war experiences.
In a message to the confer-
ence, General Omar N. Bradley,
head of the Veterans Administra-
tion, paid tribute to the war rec-
ord of men and women of the
Jewish faith.

housed in inadequate private
dwellings in the community," he
continued.
"Many of them—beaten and
starved and broken by the Nazis
—are unable to work. They live
on a government dole of 35
marks per person each week or
60 marks ($6) a couple. Because
it is almost impossible to live
on this, the JDC provides 100
marks per person each month to
several thousand German Jews."
Czech Government Doing
Most for Repatriates
NEW YORK—The Czechoslo-
vakian government has done
more to repatriate Jews from
Nazi concentration camps in Ger-
many and Austria and to curb
anti-Semitism than any of the
other governments of Europe, Dr.
Imrich Rosenberg, Czech govern-
ment official and leader of the
42,000 surviving Jews of Czecho-
slovakia, declared at a press con-
ference at the national head-
,quarters of the United Jewish
Appeal.
Dr.. Rosenberg, .who arrived in
this country from Prague at the
.invitation of American Jewish
leaders to participate in the
$100,000,000 UJA campaign, km-
pilasized, that the seeds of anti-
Semitism planted by the Nazis in
Czechoslovakia were too deep to
be uprooted overnight.
Declaring that the Jewish sur-
vivors returning to Czechoslo-
vakia after years in Nazi con-
centration camps "found it
psychologically difficult" to start
life anew in a country where
anti-Semitism continued to exist,
he said that until such time as
the Czech government is able to
restore confiscated Jewish pro-
perties to their rightful owners
many would continue to be de-
pendent on the support of Am-
erican Jews Jhrough the UJA.
This help to Czechoslovakia's
Jews is extended by the Joint
Distribution Committee, one of
the three constituent agencies of
the UJA.
