TREATMENT OF JEWS
REPORTS FROM BRITISH ZONE
Rec. LI a.m. LONDON, December 20. Criticism abroad about the treatment of the Jewish people" in the British zone of Germany was unjustified and deliberately fabricated, said Mr. J. B. Hynd, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, in the House of Commons. A relatively small proportion of Jews remained in the British zone. They received the same treatment as other displaced people, and had priority over the* German population. Their scale of. rationing was above that which the Germans received.
Mr. Hynd denied that people had been placed in Belsen. This camp had been destroyed.
The fact was that about 9500 Jews were accommodated near by in a brick barracks formerly occupied by members, of the SS. This was now run by the British Red Cross.
