The ORT has undertaken to train 20,000 Jews in DP camps in the American, British and French zones of Germany, Austria and Italy in 1947, Dr. David Lvovitch, vice-president of the World ORT Union, announced today at a luncheon of the American ORT. Half of the trainees will be in the U.S. zone of Germany.
Reporting on his recent six-month tour of Europe and the DP camps of Germany and Austria, Dr. Lvovitch declared that the 250,000 Jews now in camps must be resettled at once by the major nations of the world. Quoting officials of various governments, Dr. Lvovitch said he was assured that nowcomers would be welcome if they possessed a skill with which to earn a livelihood and contribute to the economy of their adopted land. Dr. Lvovitch cited a recent South Affican mission to Europe to find specialists in various trades.
