A tribute to the Jews in London is paid in a letter received by a Dunedin citizen from an English relative wnose home was destroyed by German bombs, fortunately while she was in a shelter. "It appears,” the correspondent writes, "that 'Lord Haw Haw’ had said on the German wireless that Hitler intended to bomb the Jews of Whitechapel and Stamford Hill and he has done it. and the Christians with it. But the Jews were so kind and such bricks to us! . . . The A.R.P. wardens (mostly Jews) deserve the V.C. They thought I was buried in the debris in the basement, where they knew I usually slept, and within half a minute of the bomb exploding, and while the enemy plane, yet dropping bombs, was still above, they came to dig me out if possible and also to see if those in the Anderson shelter were alive.”
