HORRORS IN WARSAW
MANY DEATHS FROM HUNGER & DISEASE / CHILDREN MALFORMED & LIKE GHOSTS. BUT PEOPLE STILL RESISTING TYRANTS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) NEW YORK, February 13. “Warsaw is actually dying from the ravages of hunger, tuberculosis and typhus, but the population still resist the tyrants with all their strength,” relates America’s Office of War Information pamphlet, “Tale of a City,” material for which was gleaned from all possible sources. The booklet reveals that there were 21,800 deaths and 8000 births in the first half of 1941. Children are malformed and like ghosts, suffering from anaemia and bone softening. Bread consists of 40 per cent sawdust. Cost of living has soared 1100 per cent. There is a deficiency of light and heat. Half a million Jews are crammed into 100 blocks of the Ghetto, where the death rate is the highest of any modern city in the world.
