JEWISH VICTIMS OF NAZIS

LONDON, September 4. The Germans killed 6,000,000 Jews during the war, said Mr. Eliahu Dobkin, head of the Jewish Agency's immigration department, on his return to Jerusalem from Central Europe. The number of Jews left in Europe was approximately 1,600,000, most of whom desired to emigrate to Palestine, he said. The agency planned to send groups to help the Jews in the German camps. The military authorities and UNRRA had already agreed to this in principle. It was planned to erect a monument at the summit of Mt. Scopus to commemorate the Jews who died. It would bear the names of all 6,000,000, including the soldiers, partisans, and ghetto fighters. All Jewish cultural documents and religious objects left in Central and Eastern Europe would be collected in Palestine. Two German women SS guards who were captured today admitted that at the notorious Ravensbruck concentration'camp, near Berlin, women were sheared like sheep to supply hair for the German war industry. They adimitted that 200,000 women and children, mostly Jewesses, were killed at Ravensbruck. The women were periodically herded into a room, where their heads were cropped. As soon as new hair grew they were returned to the shearing room.
