Jewish emigration from Poland has been resumed with Polish Government approval and without any discrimination among those who wish to leave for Israel to rejoin relatives, the New York Times reported today from Warsaw.
The dispatch said that between 50 and 60 Polish Jews are leaving for Israel each month, most of them to rejoin families. Visas are being granted to young and old, professionals and unskilled workers, the Times said. It estimated that there are some 50,000 Jews in Poland, most of them in the territory obtained from Germany at the end of World War II.
