Henry Zweijer, well-known Belgian Zionist leader, who was sent to a German concentration camp for bluntly telling two German officers that they had not won the war yet, was today reported as having died in the camp. The incident for which he was imprisoned took place in a cafe in Antwerp.

An order issued by the Nazi authorities in Antwerp prohibits Jews from stopping in the street, public gardens and other public places in the city, according to information reaching Belgian circles here today. The same order applies also to the neighboring communities of Lille, Hemizen, Wilrijck, Edegem, Berchem, Mortsel, Bergerhout, Duerne, Merxem, Schooten, Capellen, Zwijndrecht, Burcht and others.
