Bertha Aptowitzer, is a twenty-three women who arrived in Jerusalem under the auspices of the Jewish Agency, who presents her experience in a concentration camp at Bergenbelzen near Hanover, Germany where there are seven thousand inmates, mostly Jews. She says the morale of the Nazi guards and train employees is bitterly low. They actually did favors for the refugees, hoping to be remembered later and perhaps to soften reprisals. Fires started by Allied bombings were still burning in Budapest and the railroad station was a mass of ruins. The strain the Nazis are undergoing is indicated by the type of work the inmates of the camps were assigned to do ten hours each day.
