PLUNDERED AND EXPELLED
NAZIS AND JEWS SYMPATHETIC SOLDIERS (Times Air Mail Service) LONDON, November 15 My visit to the Lithuanian-Ger-man frontier near the Suvalki district, to collect further information about 7000 Jews expelled and plundered by the Nazis, shows that the number is increasing every hour, says the Kaumas correspondent of the News Chronicle. In one small forest about 700 Jews, including aged women and children, live day and night without food. Before being expelled from every small town the Jewish community is forced to pay a high contribution, handing over valuables, goods, furniture and clothes. No-Man’s Land March The Nazis are forcing hundreds of Jews to march from no-man’s land to neighbouring towns for menial work, and back again—2s miles on foot. In some cases the older German soldiers are apologising to the expelled Jews, saying the German people are not responsible and secretly giving them food at night. The Soviet authorities, before leaving the Suvalki district, warned the Jewish population to leave their homes before the Nazis came, but only 30 pere cent took the advice. It is possible that the expelled Jews may be allowed to go to Russia via Lithuania.
