JEWS IN EUROPE
DESIRE TO EMIGRATE TO PALESTINE London, Sept, 4. The Germans during the war killed 6,000,000 Jews, said Eliahu Dobkin, head of the Jewish Agency Immigration 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 desired to emigrate to Palestine. The agency had planned to send six groups of six men each to help the Jews in German camps, ho said. Military authorities and U.N.R.R.A. had already agreed to this principle and it was planned to erect a monument on the summit of Mount Scopus to commemorate the Jews who had 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 bo collected in Palestine.
