"ISRAELITISCHES WOCHENBLATT"
No. 53, p.6. 30 December 1942
In a publication of the "Allied Governments" some figures regarding the extermination of Jews in Europe are given. Out of the 86,000 Jews originally in Jugoslavia, 85,000 have lost their lives. In Croatia the "Jewish question" was "solved" by the extermination of all Jews. The Norwegian Jews have been arrested and deported with a few exceptions. Nothing reliable has become known about their fate. From Bohemia 72,000 and from Slovakia
65,000 were deported. In Theresienstadt there are still 20,000 Jews. According to German press reports, out of the 52,000 Jews in Belgium 25,000 have been put in concentration camps. In Holland 60,000 Jews between the ages of 18 and 40 have been officially notified that they are going to be transported to the East. 600 are deported daily. The whole deportation is to be finished by July 1943. In Greece 9,000 Jews have been taken to the mountains of Macedonia for forced labour.
