The move followed protracted negotiations between the DP’s and the Army during ## Jews refused to move, asserting they were settled in their temporary homes ## not desire to be shifted about Germany. The Army authorities threatened to ## if the Jews did not leave by last Monday. However, when the DP’s agreed at ## minute to move by themselves, the Army amended its order.
