“There are virtual pogroms in Germany with Jews being beaten and persecuted and what is happening there is renazification–not denazification,” stated Edward L. Sard, executive director of the American ORT Federation, today upon his return on the Ile de France from the Congress of the World ORT Union held in Paris, and an extensive tour of Europe.
Refuting exaggerated claims about the immediate solution of the DP problem in Europe, Mr. Sard declared that the DP problem will not be liquidated by June, 19.50, when the IRO plans to stop its activities. “To force the DP’s to remain in Germany would be a crime against humanity because of the rampant anti-Semitism in both Germany and Austria,” he said.
