Declaring that “the material and spiritual life of the displaced Jews in Germany has worsened during the last year,” Jacob Oleiski, ORT director for Germany who has just arrived here, said today that the “unsurpassable barrier which has arisen between the Jewish people and the German does not permit even a minimum normalization of the economic life of the Jews in the camps.”

Oleiski, who was confined in the Dachau camp for a year, told a press conference that the ORT maintains 60 trade schools in Germany where more then 9,000 Jews are learning 53 new vocations.
