A transport of 958 Jews arrived in Palestine yesterday aboard the S.S. Taurus from the Rumanian port of Constanza. Dr. Weizmann and other members of the Jewish Agency left here for the Athlit internment camp where the refugees will be held pending clearance by the authorities.
The transport consists of 391 men, 145 women, 236 boys and 178 girls. Nearly all of the children are orphans whose parents died while interned in Transnistria, the one-time Rumanian-held section of the Soviet Ukraine, to where about 75,000 Rumanian Jews were deported.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
