SLAUGHTER OF JEWS

BY HITLER & HELLHOUNDS IMPASSIONED APPEAL BY CHIEF RABBI NEED OF AROUSING PUBLIC OPINION MOST APPALLING MASSACRE IN HISTORY. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.10 a.m.) ■ LONDON, December 13. An appeal to the United Nations to open the gates of their countries and save at least children “from mass poisoning and burial alive by Hitler and his hellhounds,” was made by the Chief Rabbi, Dr. Hertz, preaching on the occasion of the Jewish day of mourning. He added: “We are filled with horror at the deliberate killing of millions of defenceless men, women and children. Poland has become a vast slaughterhouse for Jews in Europe. The indifference which a portion of the British Press and some Government circles display towards the most appalling massacre jn history is amazing. Publih'opinion must be aroused to the Satanic crime of murdering an entire nation, as well as to the infamy that will be ours if we shut our ears to its death cries. We turn to our - beloved England, which for so many centuries has been Europe’s conscience and leader in so many humanitarian crusades, and agonisingly we exclaim: ‘England awake! Jerusalem thy sister calls!’ ”
