Folk Schools Transport Children o Classes THE JEWISH NEWS-19 Friday, September 9, 1949 President to Preview Masada Year Sept. 20 JEWISH FOLK SCHOOLS BUS PROVIDES TRANSPORTATION Letter from Vienna U.S. Jews' View of DP Status Too Optimistic, Detroit Couple Reports By MARGUERITE KOZENN and JULIUS CHAJES Personal observations of the predicament of the JeWs now re- maining in Europe are reported in a letter from Vienna by Mar- guerite Kozenn and Julius Cha- jes, Detroit's noted musical teait now on a concert tour of Euro- pean capitals and- Israel. Their letter reads: "The opinion which prevails at present among the American Jews, that the Displaced Per- sons' problems have been prac- tically solved is regrettably not right. Although a large number of DP camps have been closed, it would be erroneous to believe that there are no more refugees in Europe who need our fullest consideration and care. "Even in theSe days, refugees are pouring from the Eastern European countries into Austria, and the AJDC (American Joint Distribution Committee) has the very arduous task to find room and board for them and also to map out their future destina- tions. The DPs have no legal per- mits to stay in Austria and therefore must be moved to an- other country as soon as pos- sible. "Two weeks ago we Witnessed the arrival of 900 refugees. They had been crawling and fleeing over border lines, which lately, tragically enough, have been mined and surrounded by barbed wires. Thus the Iron Cur- tain countries want to prevent the flight of their desperate citi- zens. "The new arrivals were taken to the Rothschild Hospital, which is the largest refugee camp in Vienna. It has a capa- city of 800 persons under normal conditions. On that day the newcomers increased the num- ber in the over-crowded and ill- ventilated hospital to 3066. Two years ago there were days when 8000 people found their refuge there, sleeping in the corridors (on the floors of course,) as well as outside in the hospital's court. It was at that time that the UN Palestine Commission visited the place and reported about the horrible conditions which were the result of the continued influx of DPs. That report has definitely helped the pro-Jewish State opinion in the UN. "Among the latest refugees 90 percent are from Hungary and the remaining 10 percent from Czechoslovakia, Romania and Poland. "The present total of Jewish DPs in Austria is about 7000. It is most fortunate that Canada and Australia have finally open- ed their doors and are taking in 1800 DPs during September. Many of the DPs will be shipped to Israel and a great part ex- pect to 'migrate to the States. The AJDC would like to liqui- date the camps by the end of the year, but there will . always remain a reception center for those who continue to arrive, leaving everything behind them and seeking to start a new life in a free country. "A very spacious annex of the Rothschild Hospital is reserved for children only. Under the di- Section of a very warm and kind- hearted person, Mrs. Jutzi Schulz, the children are getting very fine and special care. Their healthy and happy looks impres-, sethus very much. - "Another department of the AJDC is very busy with the re- settlement and repatriation of Jews.who returned from Shang- hai and other countries, and who would like to continue there, where they had to stop by force 10 years ago. Immediate help is extended to all needy up- on their arrival. Physicians lawyers, teachers and workers are getting loans for their re- establishment. A special support, financially as well as morally, is granted to students. Monthly checks help them to devote themselves exclusively to their studies. The ORT schools give training to some 40% of the DPs. The funds which are supplied by the World ORT Organization are substantially supplemented by the AJDC. "We are happy to report that the morale of the DPs is now much higher than in previous years. The establishment of the State of Israel has given them courage and faith in better days to come, when they too will par- ticipate in the enjoyable things which a free and democratic world offers."
