The thousands of German Jews who have been released from German concentration camps on condition that they emigrate have been notified that they must leave the Reich within the next two months or face return to the camps, New York Times Correspondent Otto D. Tolischus reported from Berlin today. The only Jews whose emigration is being discouraged are physicians, especially surgeons, and former German officers, who might prove useful in case of war, the dispatch said.
The larger part of the present Jewish emigration is “relations emigration,” since the opportunities for others have been diminished by the progressive restriction on transfer of Jewish-owned property and the increasing disinclination of other countries to accept virtually penniless refugees. The present emigration rate from Great Germany, excepting the protectorates, is between 9,000 and 10,000 a month.
