Mass Interrogation of Jews Reported from Communist Countries

Reports published in the press here state that hundreds of Jews in government jobs in Soviet-dominated countries of Eastern Europe have been “interrogated” by the peoples’ police and many have been “hounded out of their jobs by vague charges of supporting Jewish and American imperialism.” These same dispatches report that “those who can are moving to the West” and find their way to refugee camps in Western Germany.

“Deep concern” at the “extensive use of anti-Jewish and anti-Zionist arguments” at the recent Prague trial was expressed today in a resolution adopted here by the executive committee of the British Council of Christians and Jews.
