NAZI RUTHLESSNESS DENOUNCED
Persecution Of Jews
LONDON, October 29.
A meeting of protest against the German persecution of the Jews was held in the Albert Hall under the chairmanship of the’ Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr William Temple. General Sikorski, the Polish Premier, said that the Jews in Poland were being persecuted and exterminated ruthlessly and in mass. The Jews had been herded into the ghettos of Warsaw, Lodz, Cracow, Lwow and Vilno. Driven to the east under appalling conditions and treated far worse than herds of cattle they were being exterminated in tens of thousands. As a soldier he warned the German torturers that they would not escape retribution for all the crimes they had committed.
Reports of serious bomb attacks in Warsaw have reached the Polish Government in London. On October 24 bombs exploded in cafes reserved for German officers. One cafe was completely demolished and several German officers were killed and a score wounded.
The next day the Gestapo took 50 hostages from a Polish cafe, threatening their death if further outrages occurred.
