There are 30,000 Jews now in Lvov, and there are still a few synagogues there, it was reported here today by Isidore Bandel, of Lvov, one of seven Russian Jews who arrived this morning from the USSR.
The seven included one Jewish emigrant from Kishinev, and five from Kiev. Among the latter was a Mrs. Natalia Fishman, and her 11-year-old son. She was permitted to leave Russia to join her husband, who lives here. Bandel was allowed to emigrate because his wife is in Israel. There was a moving scene when the Bandels were reunited. They had not seen each other for 10 years.
