The International Council of Jews from Czechoslovakia reported that according to reports it has received there are now some 6000 Jews in Czechoslovakia. This compares with 25,000 immediately after World War II and 15,000 in 1968 and 360,000 Jews before the war, the Council reported. Between 70,000 to 80,000 Czechoslovak Jews are now living in the West and Israel.
