The Jewish Agency for Palestine, considering the situation of the Jews in France under Nazi occupation, has decided to assign 1,000 of its new immigration certificates – a third of the entire quota – to French Jews and Jewish refugees in France, and will seek ways to deliver these certificates to the Jews in France, it is reported today in the Davar, leading Hebrew newspaper.
A second transport of Palestinians, exchanged for Germans interned in the Holy land, is expected to arrive here tomorrow from Germany and German-occupied territories where they had been detained since the outbreak of the war.
The transport includes 69 Jews and 70 Englishmen, including elderly persons, women and children. The first group of Palestine repatriates under the exchange agreement arrived here last December. It numbered 70 persons. (Yesterday the Vichy radio reported 350 German women and children had reached Germany from Palestine. where they had been interned since the start of the war.)
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.
