Happy to escape from Yemen, Arabia, where Jews are severely persecuted, 325 Yemenite Jews arrived here today to settle in Palestine. The entire group was admitted on certificates sent them by the Jewish Agency for Palestine, which included them in its immigration schedule. One family consisting of eighteen members came in on a single certificate.
The immigrants told of persecution in Yemen and of the many difficulties they were forced to surmount before they finally reached their goal.
