Figures made public here today reveal that of the 8,000 refugees from Europe who have been admitted into the country since 1933, ninety percent are Jews. The remaining 10 percent are either people married to Jews or persons of Jewish descent. More than 3,500 of the refugees came from Germany and 2,200 from Austria. The remainder came from Czechoslovakia, Poland and Rumania.
