Another group of Jewish children consisting of 150 youngsters from displaced persons camps in Germany is expected to arrive here this week.
Meanwhile, the first group of 152, which was brought here last month, are housed in an Orthodox shelter. The children, including 50 from Belsen, a like number from Indersdorf and 52 from Wolf-Rathausen, are being given courses in English, Hebrew, Palestine geography and handicrafts in preparation for their emigration to Palestine.
