The Vienna Jewish Community was unable today to provide any further housing accommodations for Hungarian refugees, although 600 more registered with the community and were provided with financial and other assistance. There are now some 4,200 Hungarian Jewish refugees in this city alone and another 1,000 to 2,000 in the provinces.
The community informed the Austrian Government today that it had exhausted all available accommodations in hotel rooms, boarding houses and private homes and that from here on in the government must house Jewish refugees in camps. Wilhelm Krell, director of the community, announced today that he had received information which led him to believe that several thousand more Hungarian Jews would be knocking on the community’s doors in a few days.
(Ninety-six Jewish refugees from Hungary landed in Israel today. Also on the ships were 25 Rumanian Jews, including seven Zionists who had bad been held in prison.)
