Jews Have Trouble Recovering Children Entrusted to Poles
WARSAW, (JTA)—A delegation of the Jewish Coordination
Committee visited the Polish Vice-Minister for Education, M. Bien-
kowski. and asked him for government aid in recovering Jewish
children who were placed in non-Jewish homes during the Nazi
occupation when their parents were exterminated by the Germans.
The coordination committee is now dispatching representatives
all over the country to organize the work of returning Jewish children
to Jewish community institutions. In most cases these children
must be "bought" back from the non-Jews who gave them shelter.
The average price for a child today is 40.000 zlotys. It is estim-
ated that .7ewish organizations in Poland have spent several mil-
lion zlotys in redeeming Jewish orphans.
Many of the children, having lived for several years in a non-
Jewish atmosphere, do not believe that they are Jews and refuse
Jewish care.
