SIX MILLION KILLED SURVIVORS GO TO PALESTINE (Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON. Sept. 4. The Germans during the war killed 6,000,000 Jews, said Mr Eliahu Dobkin. head of the Jewish Agency’s Immigation Department, on his return to Jerusalem from Central Europe. He added that the number of Jews left in Europe was approximately 1,600,000. Most of the surviving Jews had decided to emigate to Palestine. The agency planned to send six groups of six men each to help Jews in German camps. The military authorities and U.N.R.R.A. had already agreed to this. It was planned to erect a monument on the summit of Mount Scopus to commemorate the Jews who died. It would bear the names of the whole 6,000.000. including soldiers, partisans, and ghetto fighters. All Jewish cultural documents and religious objects left in Central and Eastern Europe would be collected in Palestine.
