Prominent Lithuanian Jews here today took the initiative in setting up the Committee to Investigate Nazi Crimes in Baltic Countries, aiming at bringing to justice German murderers of Jews and their collaborators. Headed by H.H. Michelson, the committee said it would “not rest until the present policy of the British Foreign Office is modified and the criminals brought to justice.”

The Jewish Committee for Relief Abroad announced today that the problem of providing relief supplies to Jews in Berlin has been resolved following the complete lifting of the Berlin blockade. Food, clothing and other supplies have already reached the Jewish community in Berlin, the Committee said, adding that it plans to send four rabbis to Germany to officiate at High Holiday services.
