Palestine Jewish war prisoners who are isolated in a separate Nazi prison camp “somewhere in Germany,” despite the strict camp regulations, succeeded in holding a memorial meeting for the late Justice Louis D. Brandeis and M. M. Ussishkin, it was learned from a letter received here today from one of the prisoners.

The letter did not indicate how the news of the deaths of the two Jewish leaders reached the prisoners.
