- A Nazi broadcast, heard today by U. S. government monitors, said that all of Hungary's 320,000 Jews have been herded into ghetto sand concentration camps.
The broadcast, quoting Laszlo Baky, undersecretary of state in the Hungarian puppet government, said "the final result will be a Jewish exodus from Hungary."
Another broadcast said that Budapest Jews had been forced settle near war plants "which are threatened by enemy raids," so that the Allies "will be compelled to drop a rain of fire on their religious brethren." - History Unfolded Contributor
