Ragged contingents of some 500 Polish and Hungarian Jews are arriving here daily, following the recent anti-Semitic excesses in Poland. The majority, which remain here briefly in terribly overcrowded quarters, are enroute to the American zone.
A total of 7,640 Jews arrived from the east in the course of June but since then the number has jumped enormously. American military authorities and UNRRA officials are doing their best to provide shelter and food, but the facilities available are far from sufficient to restore these exhausted arrivals to anything approaching normalcy.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
