Lists containing the names of Jews found in the Bachenwald concentration camp, in the city of Frankfort and at a slave labor camp liberated by the American armies have been received here from Jewish Telegraphic Agency correspondents in Germany.

Copies of these names have been dispatched to local Jewish welfare federations in most large cities throughout the country, and to national Jewish relief organizations, to facilitate the reunion of families seperated by the war. The lists in most cases, include both the names of the refugees and those of relatives in the United States and other United Nations. Included are Jewish deportees from almost every country in Europe.
