Jews Bury
Own Dead
BY ROBERT RICHARDS

Neunberg, Germany, May 1.-(UP)
1t was hard to tell wha+ the Ger
man people of this small town fell
as they NAL ched past tee bodies
of f61 prisoners slain by SIS troop
ers.
Why show this to me?" seemed
to be their attitude. Il didn't do
It. I didn't know about it That
was what the looks of most Of
them appeared to say.
Others, especially the very old,
appeared only bewildered and note
quite certain why they had come
But the Jews, who escaped the
SIS murderers, said what they felt
do not touch our dead. We will
pick them up ourselves" said Chuna
Grunbaum, one of their number who
made the long march here from the
Flossenberg concentration camp.
The army had ordered the Ger
mans to take the bodies back to a
cemetery near the town from the
woods where they had been hastily
buried. The bodies had been thrown
into three shallow graves. The SIS
troops had been in such hurry to
escape approaching American COL
umns that they hardly took time to
spread earth over the pitiful heap.
During the march those who were
COO weak to carry on, or who halted
seeking food and water were shot
through the head or knocked down
with a club. Every one of the bodies
bore evidence of either bullet hole
or smashed skull.
Today the German men of Neun-
berg carried collins to the woods
But when the time came to put the
bodies in, the Jews cried, mo Ger
mans will touch our dead"
So tenderly and quietly they lifted
each body into its wooden box.
Abraham Jacobovits, IT, walked
over to one thin form.
This was my father" he said. Il
took him by the hand to lead him
but he was too weak. He fell and
they shot him through the head"
With four Germans to each cof-
fin and with a Jewish refugee
marching at the head of each cof-
fin praying in Hebrew the process
sion turned toward the cemetery.
While the Germans filed past the
bodies, a German speaking Ameri-
IAN sergeant told them over public
tddress system:
I'VE blame you German people for
ihese misdeeds. You are response

is known that sometimes the Com
manding Officer in writing let
ter of coincidence to the family has
furnished a photograph of the
grave. This is not routine mat
ter. Sometimes for security rea-
sons such details about the where
abouts of the grave and photo
graphs of the grave would not be
permitted.
@. MY son telephoned me that
he has been given an unexpected
furlough. He asked me to SEND
money to him as quickly as pos
sible. Can Red Cross arrange for
him to have the money for his fare
home?
A. It is a policy of Red Cross
at camp to furnish money for
transportation when the furlough
is an emergency one due to serious
illness or death in the home. The
money can only be given with the
approval of the mans Command
ing Officer. Therefore, Red Cross
cannot advance money to service
men for regular or unexpected
Burroughs. The best way OF trans
hitting this money would be
money order sent air mail OF
money telegraphed through west
ern Union.
@. My son enlisted in the Arm1
two years ago and made out an in
surance policy to me. have never
received the policy although I have
received a yellow slip c. paper
Should I not receive the policy?
A. The Veterans Administration
issue no policy during war time t.
the servicemen or their families. TIL.
paper which you receive is a certi-
ficate of insurance which is issued.
@. My nephew was killed in ac-
ton. He had MADE me beneficiary
Of his insurance policy. had never
adopted him but I did bring him up
Will be entitled to this insurance?
A. Since you can present proof
that you stood in loco parents to
your nephew prior to his entrance
into service it is believed that you
would be eligible to receive the in
surance benefits inasmuch as your
nephew named you beneficiary
When you receive application forms
to be completed, your Home Service
Office will be glad to assist you.
Q. My son, in the Army, and his
wife are Separa ted and l am taking
care OF their child. My sons wife
receives a family allowance for her
self and child. but does not give ne
any Of this money. Would I not be
entitled to the money for the baby
since am taking care of him?
A. Your son should inform the
Office of Dependency Benefits that
you have the custody of his child
and that he would like to have tie
child's share of the allowance. Tht
Office OF Dependency Benefits will
probably request you to complete
forms and affidavits before a de-
cision is made to issue two checks.
Your Home Service Office will be
glad to help you in preparing any
necessary papers.
If you have any problems or ques-
tons regarding servicemen, contact
