VICHY PERSECUTION OF JEWS
(Received September 12, 1.45 a.m.) LONDON, September IL
The Vichy Government has taken strong measures against the many refugees who for many years have found a haven in France.
A representative of The New York Herald-Tribune who visited a refugees’ camp at Nimes described their plight as terrible.- Two thousand Austrians and Germans were living on the ground like animals and others in a camp at Perpignan were in a similar plight. They had nothing to do but sit and wait and all they had to wait for was a German Commission, which would decide which of them would be taken away by the Gestapo. The Vichy Government has taken particularly strong measures against Jews.
