East Germans Are!
Still Moving To
The Western Zone
i
Stories Of Imprisonment
Are Told Daily by Hund
reds Of Refnpees^^
Migration from behind the Iron ,
Curtain goes forward daily in
Berlin, and many of the refugees
tell tragic stories of their im
prisonment, according to the foi-i
lowing story just recently out of
the German citv:
Berlin.—Some of them have
come from concentration camps
deep in Siberia. These are among
those who were released by the
Soviets in Januaiy and July in a
sudden and mysterious amnesty.
After questioning scores of
these persons, West German of
ficials still can find no logical ex
planation for these pardons.
"The Soviets probably needed
more room in the concentration
camps," is their best guess.
The pardons came unexpected
ly, according to the refugees. They
apparently Were granted indis
criminately. Some with a life
sentence were released, others
with only minor offenses were
left behind.
Road Hand In Siberia
These former concentration
camp inmates now are filtering
into the western sector almost
daily.
It was hard to realize that the
young woman who came in the
door to seat herself before the
Emergency Acceptance Board for
East German Refugees was one of
these.
She had been in Siberia since
1951, she told the board, one of
5,000 women who were put to
work as road hands and in heavy
construction work.
She was a slight woman, with
alert brown eyes, and a spirit
which obviously had not bei n
broken She told her story with
forth-right fluency.
The crime for which she had
been convicted by the Soviets was
espionage, and her sentence was
25 years in prison.
She told her story to the ex
amining board composed ol two
men and one woman—one of the
2S boards to whom the hundreds
of refugees pouring into the wes
: rein ■f'av'fr'dsv make th«ts*
upp; d for government aid.
Persecuted Get Aid
Only those who have hud ac
tual cause to seek safety in West
Berlin because of political per
secution by the Communists are
eligible for assistance. If they can
prove the necessity for flight,
they are assigned to a job and
housing either in Berlin or are
flow'll out at government ex
pense to some other part of West
Germany.
The young woman was not a
regular espionage agent, she said,
but when working in a railway
office in the Soviet sector had
been approached by a former
neighbor who asked her to sup
ply him with the forms showing
the movement of freight trains.
This neighbor was a member of
the British Secret Service, al
though she did not know his ex
act connection at the time. But
being strongly anti-Communist,
she agreed to give him this data.
She, along with others, was ap
prehended when a disgruntled
member of the espionage group
reported the activity to the Com
munist officials. All members
yvere arrested, five were senten
ced to capital punishment and
four, of which she was one, to 25
years in prison.
Tragic Outcome
Upon her release, she was taken
to East Berlin again, and went
immediately to the home of her
parents where she was reunited
with her 10-year-old son. Her
throat tightened and tears came
to her eyes for the first time as
she told of the boy’s illness which
came in (he form of a nervous
breakdown as a result of the
strain of his mother’s long ab
sence and sudden return. He final
ly was taken to a mental insti
tution, she said.
Applying for work, she was of
fered another job with the rail
way provided she would agree to
inform on her co-workers. This
she refused to do and fled to West
Berlin.
She left the room as she finish
ed her story, but her cuse was so
obviously a legitimate one that
there was no discussion and she
was recalled immediately to re
ceive her work permit.
The next applicant for aid was
a woman of mature figure and
appearance. She had been in
charge of a group of women
workers in a factory in East Ber
lin. She had been accused of mis
treating the employees under her
She denied the accusation, but
was sentenced to 12 years of hard
labor in a concentration camp.
Forced March Related
She told of a forced march of
30 miles from one camp to an
other, without pause for rest, dur
ing which many fell from ex
haustion. Her voice broke as she
recalled this episode. The board
gave approval to her applicant
for aid.
.... ..KastJXywtafl refugees. ••! ill are
crossing the horde. .it toe V lie of
330 or more a day. They are di
rected immediately to the recep
tion camp at Marientfelde near
the outskirts of West Berlin.
These camps consist of a block
of apartment houses,* accommo
dating 1,000 or more persons.
They all are interviewed im
mediately by the western Allies
for intelligence purposes and by
the Germnn police After this they
are transferred to another camp
while they await clearance by
the Federal Emergency accept
ance Board for East German He
fugees.
Doubtlul cases are referred to
a special board. No one ever is
sent back to the eastern sector,
bul those who cannot prove they
' actually needed to fie* to the V c-.f
are given a work peino'V. i’in y
do find jobs in these times of logit
I employment in Germany, it is
| readily admitted, but they are
not eligible for any of the various
forms of government aid, and are
considered a load on the econo
my.
