After a half century of existence, the Jews’ Temporary Shelter is closing down at the end of May since only 30 persons are left in its charge and no trans-migration is possible during the war. Announcing the decision to close the institution, President Otto Schiff revealed that it had an indebtedness of L4,500. He said the building could, if found necessary, be reopened “in a few days.”
