German Jews are attempting to flee from the Reich to neighboring occupied countries in the hope that they will eventually be able to reach Allied or neutral territory, it is indicated today in the Svenska Dagbladet, published here.
The Dagbladet reports that fourteen Germans have been arrested in Aachen, on the Belgian-German frontier, on the charge of conducting a “smuggling agency” designed to facilitate the escape of Jews.
The same paper reports from Bulgaria that a number of Jewish merchants in the town of Ruschuk have been arrested on the charge that they attempted to smuggle money from Bulgaria to Palestine.
