Hold Services
In 2 Barracks

LUBECK, (JTA)—The Exodus
Jews in the Poppendorf and Am
Sl:au camps celebrated the New
Year in two barracks converted
into make-shift synagogues.

supplies — including cigarettes,
soap, toilet articles, cheese, sar-
dines and all the necessary re-
ligious materials for observance
of the High Holy Days—were dis-
tributed. Although at first the
refugees refused to accept them
on the grounds that they felt that
Jewish relief groups should in no
way cooperate with the British,
they took the supplies when as-
sured that the aid was designed
only for the period of the holi-
days.
