Germany is continuing to force illegal entry of Jews into Belgium, crowding Belgian jails with honorable people whose only offense is that they were expelled by the Nazis, according to a report submitted by ex-Justice Minister Victor Laveley to the Parliamentary Commission of Justice in connection with the Government budget for police supervision of aliens.
The Belgian authorities do everything possible to make these victims feel like political prisoners rather than like criminals, the report said, adding that they would soon be transferred to a refugee camp which the Government is now establishing to accommodate 6,000 refugees.
