"ISRAELITISCHES WOCHENBLATT"
No.18, p.5. 7 May 1943.
Minister Attlee, Churchill's deputy, stated in the House of Commons that he had received a message from Poland according to which there alone 100,000 Poles and 1,500,000 Jews resident there had been robbed and murdered in the most horrible way. The machinery of destruction was working at high pressure. The descriptions of the death camp of Oswiecim [Auschwitz], the events in Odessa, the black hell of Kovno, the incidents in Vitebsk, Kharkov and many other towns did not actually need further investigation. * * *
