Seven hundred thousand Jews, declassed in the process of the social upheaval and reduced to the status of “Luftmenschen”, will find their opportunity to make a livelihood in the Bureya region, Siberia, slated for a huge Jewish colonization, states the Communist Yiddish daily, “Stern,” of Charkoff.
This large mass of people who have no possibility of trading or being absorbed in industry, have no other choice, the paper states. During the last year 2,308 Jews emigrated from the Ukraine. Among these were 743 who left for America and 202 who went to Palestine, the paper adds.
