The “Pariser Haint”, a Yiddish daily published here, learns that the Berlin home of Dr. Leo Bramson, the leader of the Ort, was searched by the police, who confiscated a number of documents. Dr. Bramson’s family in Berlin has asked Dr. Bramson, who is at present in Paris, to communicate with the police immediately on return to Berlin. The “Pariser Haint” learns further that the Jewish relief institutions of Ort-Ozet, are contemplating to transfer their head offices from Berlin. It is likely that the offices will be moved to Prague, where living is cheaper and from which center contact with Eastern Europe would be more easily maintained at present than from Berlin.

It is understood that other international Jewish relief organizations are also contemplating removing their office from Berlin.

A report is also current that White Russians in Berlin are in close contact with the Nazi authorities. They are known, according to Paris reports, to have submitted to the Nazi authorities a memorandum bearing the names of prominent Russian Jews at present residing in Germany, and whose expulsion is advised by the White Russians. The fact that the police are at present actually engaged in searching the houses of numerous Russian Jews in Berlin, including that of Dr. Bramson, is held to testify to the truth of the report concerning the White Russians’ cooperation with the Nazis.
