About 1,350 Jews who escaped from the Reich have reached Rumania on river barges and are stranded, unable to continue their journey since they have no means to pay for transportation overseas, it was learned today. Rumanian Jewish groups are trying to assist them, but are not able to cope with the financial requirements. The refugees declared that emigration of Jews from Germany was still possible for many, provided funds were made available.
In addition to these refugees, more than 100 Jews from Germany and Austria are being held under police supervision in Constanza, under miserable conditions, awaiting the possibility of emigrating. Most of them had been driven from frontier to frontier until they reached Rumania by swimming rivers, passing through marshes and crossing borders at night.
