Several thousand Jewish men and women are fighting with the Yugoslav guerrilla armies, according to a detailed review of the situation of the Jews in Yugoslavia received today from a reliable source.

The report says that these thousands, together with other thousands in internment and labor camps and a small number remaining in the larger cities total about 17,000, all that remains of the 75,000 who dwelt in Yugoslavia before the Nazi occupation of the country. About 15,000 fled to Adriatic ports in Italy.
