Jev/jsh Population About 13,000,000 New York (JTA)—There are now about 13,000,000 Jews living in 130 countries and territories according to a World Jewish Congress, survey. The survey, carried out by tha Institute of Jewish Affairs, reports that 10,000,000 Jews live in three countries: 5,500,000 in the United States; 2,200,000 in Israel, and about 2,300,000 in the Soviet Union according to figures available following the 1959 Russian census. With the recent influx of Jews from North Africa, particularly from Algeria, France has moved ahead to become the fourth largest Jewish community in the w o r l d with a population of 500,000 Jews. Next are Argentina and Britain; 450,000 each; Canada 250,000; Rumania, 150,000; Brazil, 140,000; Morocco 125,000; and the Union of South Africa, 110,000.
Israel Honors 'Angel of Lvov' Jerusalem (WNS)—She was called the "angel of Lvov" by those she had saved in Poland from the hands of the unmentionables and now she has reaped the reward of mercy in the Holy City. When M r s . Wladyslawa Choms, a Polish woman of the Christian faith, labored as head of a group to rescue Jews during the Nazi occupation of her country she was moved by mercy only, little dreaming that her reward, outside of inner satisfaction, would come in the land of the Jews she helped save and in a city whose sanctity is shared by the believers of both faiths. And when the honor
came to her this week, the planting of a tree in her nama in the Avenue of the Righteous Gentiles, the Polish woman again rose to heights—declaring that this was "the first beacon light" in her life since the end of the war. The ceremony took place at the Yad Vashem Memorial Shrine. KBON Radio 1490 Presents "Message of Israel" Sun., April 14, 10 p.m. Program The Parable of Passover Rabbi Arnold J.
