- London, March 7.—(AP)—Officials of the Polish government In exile asserted today that 250 Poles were dying daily in a "murder camp" at Oswiecim, Poland, as a result of "executions, inhuman treatment, hunger and epidemics."
Prisoners were said still to be pouring into the camp. Sixty Polish miners from Upper Silesia who were accused of slowing their output were taken to Oswiecim and shot in batches of 10 between Jan. 10 and Jan. 17, the officials charged. - History Unfolded Contributor
