On the basis of the number of Jews remaining in the sections of Holland already liberated, Dutch Jewish circles here today estimated that no more than five or six percent of Holland’s 180,000 Jews will be found to have survived when the entire country is freed.

A report received by the Czech Government from Frantisek Nemec, its delegate in Carpatho-Ruthenia, which was occupied by Hungary, discloses that only five to ten percent of the region’s Jewish population escaped extermination. About 135,000 Jews lived there before the war. Towns which formerly had thousands of Jewish inhabitants now have a few dozen.
