For Israel-Bound
Jewish Refugees
Special to The Jewish News
By DR. RUTH GRUBER
ROME. ITALY—Thousands of
tired, exhausted, homeless Jews
now are pouring into Italy out
of Europe and North Africa,
sailing to Israel, leaving their
old life of pogroms, persecutions
and gas chambers. The Bari sea-
port in southeastern Italy has
become a new narrow funnel for
Jews running for their lives in
1949.
JDC—three magic letters here
—is operating camps for Jews in
flight. I visited these camps all
week. as Tripolitanians arrived
—exhausted from their long
trek. covered with dirt, bare-
foot and in rags. The sick ones
remain in Italy until they are
cured by JDC doctors.
One of the refugees said to
me: "The sickness and the per-
secution is ending for us at last
. . Now we are going to forget
the bloodshed and to start life
as human beings, as Jews among
Jews. Please give, thanks to
American Jews and tell them
well never forget them."
