The Council of Jewish Communities in Bohemia and Moravia today issued a statement declaring that Czech Jews who had registered as of German nationality in the pre-war census in Czechoslovakia were scheduled for deportation from the country, but the expulsion order was cancelled due to the Council’s intervention with the Prague Government.
(In New York the Czechoslovak Consul General issued a statement today announcing that the Ministry of the Interior in Prague “emphatically denies” reports that Jews who previously declared themselves of German nationality are persecuted or threatened with deportation from Czechoslovakia. “Our republic,” he declared, “continued along the line laid down by Masaryk and Benes of tolerance, justice and friendship toward the Jewish people.”)
