Chapter 3: Washington and New York
near Warsaw, where mass shootings occur either at dawn or during the
night.”
February 14, 1943, p. 37: “EXECUTION ‘SPEED-UP’ SEEN
Mass executions of Jews in Poland on an accelerated tempo was reported
by European representatives of the World Jewish Congress in a communication
made public by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, president of the American Jewish
Congress.
In one place in Poland 6,000 Jews are killed daily, according to the report,
dated Jan. 19. Jews left in Poland are now confined in fifty-five ghettos, some
in the large towns and some in the smaller towns that have been transformed
into ghettos.”
This was the propaganda story involved in the conflict between State and
Treasury. As noted in connection with the remarks on the Times editorial of December
18, if this story had managed to emerge from the State Department,
greater credibility would, apparently, have been attached to it. Unfortunately for
the propaganda inventors at the time, they had to settle for Rabbi Wise as ostensible
source.

Geneva, Switzerland, Feb. 15 (ONA) – All the aged and feeble [from
Czestachowa, Poland] were sent to Rawa-Russka, in Galicia, for execution by
the Nazis, sources from inside Poland said.”
February 23, 1943, p. 23: “ATROCITIES PROTESTED

protest against Nazi atrocities in Mecca Temple, 133 West Fifty-fifth Street.

March 2, 1943, pp. 1, 4: “SAVE DOOMED JEWS, HUGE RALLY PLEADS
Immediate action by the United Nations to save as many as possible of the
five million Jews threatened with extermination […] was demanded at a mass
demonstration […] in Madison Square Garden last night.
[…Rabbi Hertz said] ‘appalling is the fact that those who proclaim the
Four Freedoms have so far done very little to secure even the freedom to live
for 6,000,000 of their Jewish fellow men by readiness to rescue those who
might still escape Nazi torture and butchery. […]’
[…Wendell Wilkie said] ‘Two million human beings, merely because they
are Jews, have already been murdered by every fiendish means which Hitler
could devise. Millions of other Jews […] face immediate destruction […]’
[…Chaim Weizmann said] ‘Two million Jews have already been exterminated.
[…]
‘The democracies have a clear duty before them. […] Let them negotiate
with Germany through the neutral countries concerning the possible release of
the Jews in the occupied countries. […] Let the gates of Palestine be opened to
all who can reach the shores of the Jewish homeland […]’”
