In view of the measures taken recently in Luxemburg under which a number of Jewish residents, mostly Polish citizens, were in danger of deportation from the country, it is now stated here that the Polish ambassador in Belgium, Dr. T. Jatzkowsky, who is also accredited to Luxemburg, visited Luxemburg to intervene there with the authorities on behalf of the Polish Jews living in the country.

Dr. Jatzkowsky pointed out to the authorities that these Jews were lawobserving, paid their taxes and had done nothing to deserve deportation.

As a result of this intervention, it was announced that there would be no deportation of Jewish residents.

The Luxemburg Federation of Polish Jews, and the Jewish Democratic Federation in Luxemburg held a reception in honor of the Polish ambassador.

A Jewish delegation also went to Brussels to thank the Polish ambassador at the embassy for his successful intervention on their behalf.
