The Swiss Government has agreed to admit 14,200 Jews from Hungary and to assign 810,000 Swiss France (about $186,300) for their care, it was learned here today. About 1,300 Hungarian Jews were admitted to Switzerland last week.
The decision of the Government came as a result of negotiations initiated by the International Red Cross and by representatives of Jewish organizations interested in rescuing Jews.
It is believed here, however, that there is little possibility at present of taking advantage of the Swiss offer since Germany is refusing to allow trains carrying Jews to cross the Reich, and also because of the lack of transportation facilities.
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.
