GATHERS MOMENTUM
Berlin, Jan. 7.
Jewish families with bundles on their backs today joined in the mass of frightened people who are fleeing East Germany for refuge in West Berlin, refugee officials said here.
A Jew who wanted his name kept secret said in West Berlin to- day: "East German Communists are finishing the job Hitler almost accomplished. Today, there are fewer than 800 Jews in East' Germany. There are 1,800 in East Berlin.
"They have begun to flee at the rate of four or five families a day as a result of the recent attack on Zionism.
"Soon East Germany will be one country, in Europe where the Jewish soct has been extinguished."
Last month a record total of 15,787 refugees arrived here. In 1952 nearly 120,000 refugees fled here.-Reuter,
