Many Jews in Europe are beginning to lose faith in the official promises concerning the transfer of 100,000 Jewish survivors to Palestine and are demanding that Jews be permitted to settle their own fate, it was reported here today by European leaders of the Agudas Israel.
The Agudah leaders, who have just arrived in the U.S. include Rabbi Wolf Jacobson of Sweden and Rabbi Sabatei Seidman of Carpatho-Russia. They spoke at a reception tendered them by the American Agudas Israel organization, emphasizing that the problems facing the Jews in Europe are greater than more rehabilitation, since the lives of many Jewish survivors must still be saved.
