Some 50,000 Jews have "van-
ished" in Brazil in recent years
according to a census report re-
cently released in that country.
Statistically there are probably
as many Jews in Brazil now as
there were some . years a g 0,
120,000, but some 50,000 of them,
it appears, deliberately con-
cealed or refused to identify
themselves with their - Jewish
origin. The size of the figure is
rather disturbing since it shows
widespread existence of fear in
the Jewish community. Since
there aren't too many Jews in-
the hinterlands to account for
the situation it must be assumed
that Jews in large cities have
concealed their identities.

so few Jews in the House of

divided among the three major
