Abstract

Europe's Wandering Jews-and Others

The Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees is an international body whose function is to deal with the refugee problem in Europe. The Intergovernmental Committee comes back into the picture after the army and the United Relief and Rehabilitation Administration have done the preliminary' jobs regarding displaced persons. In some circles there has been sharp criticism of the Intergovernmental Committee because it included no representative of any Jewish group. Although the army's registration cards provide for optional registration of religion, the army does not regard Jews as a separate problem. Its job is a mass-production one of returning people to the countries of their origin. Intergovernmental Committee's success is dependent on the cooperation of member governments. It cannot have a policy of its own.
