Five thousand Jews were deported to Poland on trains leaving Prague on Dec. 18, Czechoslovak circles reported today. It was estimated that about 11,000 Jews remained in the so-called Bohemian-Moravian “Protectorate,” with reports said to be circulating in Prague that they would all be deported by the end of March. There were 90,000 Jews in Bohemia and Moravia before the war.
