Dr. Hans Erich Fabian, former president of the Berlin Jewish community, who arrived here during the week-end with his family under the Displaced Persona Act, declared that the Germans are still Nazis at heart and that the 7,500 Jews still in Berlin are in desperate straits. He asserted that most of Berlin’s Jews are 50 years of age or older and that all of them wish to get out of Germany.
Dr. Fabian, member of the Supreme Court of Western Bavaria who was a Berlin magistrate for several years "before Hitler seized power, said that he came to the U.S. to interest welfare agencies in the plight of the German Jews and to help bring them to Israel or other countries. He maintained that the treatment now accorded Berlin’s Jews by the Germans was no different from what they received under the Nazis.
