- LONDON, Dec. 8 (AP)—Arthur Cardinal Hinsley, Roman Catholic archbishop of Westminster, told an audience of Poles Tuesday on the Catholic day of prayer for Poland that their country "witnessed acts of such savage race hatred that it fiendishly planned to be turned into a vast cemetery of the Jewish population in Europe."
"Here I unite my voice to their loud denunciation uttered by Catholic bishops and peoples of France, Italy and other countries against brutal persecution of Jews," he said before the gathering at Westminster cathedral.
The cardinal told the Poles "your country never was so great as now when you have suffered most." - History Unfolded Contributor
