|Nazis Called Quakers
'Mystics,' Permitted

BY PAUL GHALI,

Foreign Correspondent Of The Star ans

PARIS. 1T happened in April
1941. A group of American CORE.
spondents left behind in Vichy were
allowed to visit the gruesome looking
camp of Recebedou near Toulouse.
For months they had been i'm.
ploring the Vichy authorities for per.
mission to see what Vichy was doing
with its political internees. Rece.
bedou housed 1000 intellectual Jew.
whom Hitler had deported to France
earlier in the year for Petain to lool
after.
/ The old marshal was not looking
after these wretched victims of NaZ
racial exclusivism. Apart from tor.
ture and gas chambers, the Vichy
concentration camps for Jews boast.
ed the same filth and starvation die
as Auchwitz and Dachau.

dirty lot and small, White-haired
specialized Frau Olga Weber, 60, wife
of a professor Of philosophy al
Munich University, was dying quietly
in it of starvation.
She was obviously SO hopeleSsly i'll
that we fought unsuccessfully with
the guards to have her released and
sent to a hospital in Toulouse.
Then something short of a miracle
happened. Two English speaking
lads entered the hut. They hardly
deigned to cast glance at our
group and Immediately started talk
ing animatedly with Capt. Faure,
camp commander, while pointing at
the old lady.
Five minutes afterward Frau
Weber was being led to car marked

explained later to our dumbfounded
and furious group They come from
Toulouse to bring food and clothes.
We allow them in. They are in

All through the occupation the
"inoffensiVe mystics' carried on. In
December, 194l, when America en-
tered the war, the French branch
"Secours Quaker took over from
the American Society of Friends,
but the good work went on.
Their most difficult task was try
ing to aid the Jews arrested by the
Germans.
In July, 1912, the Gestapo ar
rested 10000 Jews in Paris, herded
them into buses and took them to
the Velodrome dHiver Stadium
where no preparations had been
made to take care of so many
people. The Quakers got busy i'm
mediately to relieve the situation.
Since the liberation the Quakers
have given most of their time to
feeding and clothing the French
children. Appetizing snacks for
children, including jam, butter
white bread and chocolate, are being
distributed by them In all the
principal French towns where little
boys and girls, pale and wan, are
suffering from near starvation.
