A report that a revived German Nazi organization has warned the 25,000 Jews living in the British zone of Germany to leave the country immediately was presented today to the Joint Distribution Committee-sponsored International Conference on Jewish Relief and Rehabilitation by Joseph Rosensaft, president of the Central Committee of Liberated Jews in the British zone.
The refugee delegate asserted that the group, known as the “Organization to Exterminate Jewry,” is “evidence of the strong comeback of Nazism in Germany.” He revealed that 53 Jewish cemeteries in the British zone have been desecrated without a single arrest being made by the authorities.
Rosensaft voiced the opinion that “in perhaps six months, the 7,000 Jews living at Bergen Belsen will have gone-many to Israel, and a few to America. They want to leave desperately. They will never believe there are any good Germans,” he added.
