there was a group of Ukrainians
who knew the Jews from the
camps. Before the ship sailed, all
refugees were assembled at Bag
noli. and there the Jews were at
tackled and threatened by the Uk-
rainians, who told them frankly
it would be better not to journey
on that ship, because they would
all be thrown overheard as soon
as the vessel reached the open
sea. The Jews finally left the
ship.
1t is clear that the prO-fasciSt
Ukrainians and other refugees OF
the same type are introducing into
these overseas countries hatred
against Jews and a very dangerous
pOgrom-atmosphere, which was not
known there until now. If we re-
member that more than half-a-
million such refugees are seeking
immigration to South America,
then it is easy to imagine what a
great menace they are going to be
to the Jews there.

He had two daughters, Jessie

san Smith, who settled in the Yak.
The date of the marriage was 1916
1917. As far as I know the family

him since my mother divorced him
in 1922 or 1928. However about
1885 Annie Smoot of Yak passed
