The Austrian Government, in response to a request from the Jewish Agency, agreed today to make available a hostel for Rumanian Jews in transit to Israel. The hostel is the Kaiserebersdorf near Vienna which will house 500 persons.
The request was made to the Ministry of the Interior in anticipation of mass transports anticipated in the next few days. More groups continue to arrive here daily with stopovers of several days until transports to Naples could be completed. On a typical day 200 Rumanian Jews, mostly skilled workers and many children, left Vienna for Naples.
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.
