- London, Dec. 11.—(AP)—The United Nations shortly will issue a declaration protesting their "horror at the fate now being prepared by the Nazis for what is left of the Jewish people in occupied Europe," and proclaim their intention of holding the instigators responsible at the end of the war, informed sources said tonight.
More than 2,000,000 Jews already have been executed in "central clearing houses for mass slaughters," and the Nazi "war of extermination is proceeding relentlessly," the Women's International Zionist Organization said today in urging the United Nations to issue a joint statement promising punishment of those responsible.
Slaughter Rate Speeded.
The allied governments reported that the Nazi anti-Jewish policy was being speeded up by mass deportations and massacres and the Manchester Guardian said "the Nazis are planning to put all deported Jews to death by Christmas."
"This is fo fearful," said the newspaper, "as almost to stagger belief, but for years Hitler has been making the incredible a commonplace." - History Unfolded Contributor
