The name of the Ministry of Jewish Affairs is now being eliminated from all official documents. The Ministry of the Interior has taken over the entire property of Jewish Ministry.
The Government upheld the decision to confiscate the premises of the Ministry which are now occupied by the Club of Jewish Deputies. The building is to be occupied by the Lithuanian National Students Organization.
The Club of Jewish Deputies, however, has decided not to leave until it is forcibly ejected.
