- LONDON, ENGLAND (U.P.)—The National Council of the Polish Government in Exile disclosed here Thursday it had received an urgent plea from Warsaw via underground channels asking for aid in preventing total annihilation of Jews in Poland.
The council said the Warsaw ghetto issued a threefold plea for official intervention by the pope, classification of German prisoners of war as hostages, and action by the entire world in preventing complete extermination of Poland's Jews.
The message said that "only 200,000 of us remain and are threatened with annihilation.
The report from the Warsaw ghetto added that German officials were concentrating on speeding liquidation of Jews in that particular section with a view to closing it before spring.
Fifty Germans were killed recently during fighting which developed during forced removal of Jews from the Warsaw ghetto, and in retaliation several hundred Jews were machine gunned on the spot, the Polish telegraph agency reported Thursday. - History Unfolded Contributor
