Another 600 Belgian Jews have been shipped to the coast of northern France by the Nazi occupational authorities to work on the fortifications the Germans are constructing there, in fear of an Allied invasion of the continent, it was disclosed today by official Belgian circles.

Wives and children of the deportees who crowded the railroad station at Brussels to say good-bye to them were dispersed by members of the Nazi police squads, the Belgian report states. It was disclosed last week that all the internees in the Jewish concentration camp at Malines in Belgium had been sent to the French coast and set to forced labor erecting fortifications.
