The first Jewish hospital to be established in Munich since the defeat of the Nazis opened its doors today. The institution, which is leaded by Dr. David Drujan, chief of the health department of the Jewish Relief Committee, will cooperate with the Munich Jewish Committee and the UNRRA.
UNRRA headquarters here announced today that the first shipment of tools for displaced persons, who thus will be able to acquire new trades and refresh old ones under UNRRA’s employment program, is being rushed to training schools through the efforts of the ORT.
Nearly 20,000 DP’s in the United States occupation zone alone will be given the tools, together with training in types of work ranging from wood working to dentistry. The tools, among the scarcest items in Germany today, include files, chisels, screw-drivers and pincers.
