Hundreds of German Jews of all classes go daily to the office of the World ORT organization in Berlin and request to be placed in that group’s agricultural cooperative colonies or other institutions and undertakings, according to the People’s ORT Federation in New York.
The ORT is active at present in the work of the Central Organization for Industrial and Trade Relief. Up to the present the ORT has opened many courses to train Jews in Germany to be chauffeurs, automobile mechanics, metal workers and cutters. Hundreds of German Jews are taking these courses.
The ORT has also opened many bureaus in England, France and Jugoslavia to assist skilled Jewish workers in finding employment. The organization is now working on plans to bring relief to hundreds of Jewish refugees from Germany. This plan, according to the New York office, entails the transportation of whole industries out of Germany.
