CZECH JEWS’ FATE
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, September 2.
About 50,000 Jews from the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia and from Berlin. Hamburg, and Westphalia have been dumped by the Nazis in Terezin, an old Austro-Hungarian fortress on the border of Saxony and Bohemia. Appalling conditions are reported to exist in the camp, and the death-rate is high. It is also reported that out of 4000 Jews who had been living in Prague, only 1500 were left four weeks ago, while the towns of Brno and Pilsen have been completely cleared of Jews. Berlin radio stated that three Communists, alleged to be ringleaders of a conspiracy in the Struma district, Bulgaria, were executed in the public square at Gorniszumaya. The bodies were left hanging till noon on the following day. This is the first application of the new Bulgarian law for the protection of the State which provides for public executions.
Berne reports that 22 persons, mostly men and women, were shot at Zagreb, Yugoslavia, on charges of taking letters, medical supplies, and food to guerrillas, and also of being in possession of arms, listening to the 8.8. G., and spreading 8.8. C. reports.
