This property will be distributed among those who have distinguished themselves
in the war and families with many children, it is said.”
June 29, 1943, p. 6: “NAZIS EXECUTE 150 JEWS
London, June 28 (Netherlands News Agency) – The Germans have
launched mass executions of Netherlands Jews deported to Poland, it was reported
tonight.
[…] 150 Jews in the village of Turck had been mowed down with machine
gun fire. […] At Socky […] 340 Netherlands Jews were machine-gunned, and
100 women and children were slain near Potok. […] They were among the
thousands of Jews who had been transported from the Netherlands to the notorious
Treblinka concentration camp.”
It seems odd to transport people out of an extermination camp and then kill
them. Whoever composed this story was evidently not only uninformed on what
Treblinka was supposed to be, but also on the order of magnitude of the numbers
that were supposed to be thrown around.
July 21, 1943, p. 13: “QUICK AID IS ASKED FOR EUROPE’S JEWS
Immediate action to rescue the Jews of Nazi-dominated countries was demanded
last night by speakers at the opening session of the Emergency Conference
to Save the Jews of Europe, held at the Hotel Commodore.
[…] Representative Rogers pointed out that some 3,000,000 of Europe’s
7,000,000 Jews already have perished and insisted that ‘this is a problem
which cannot be solved through the exercise of vocal cords and routine protests.’
[…] ‘Certainly there are enough open spaces and unpopulated areas to
accommodate 4,000,000 tortured human beings,’ he said. ‘Palestine is the
logical place. It is nearer and over land instead of over water […]’
[…] Count Sforza voiced the hope that Jews and Arabs would be able to
cooperate in the future in the building of a great Near East federation, with
Palestine as a member.”
August 2, 1943, p. 10: “16,000,000 MADE REFUGEES BY AXIS
Washington, Aug. 1 – A survey of the European refugee problem, published
today by the Foreign Policy Association, said that only a collective effort on
the part of the great powers or an international organization could deal effectively
with the situation that would follow the end of the war.
[…] On the basis of reports from the governments in exile and other informants,
the report said, it was estimated that of the Jews who in 1939 inhabited
European countries now held by the Axis, two million already have been deported
or had perished from various forms of mistreatment or deliberate extermination.”
The Foreign Policy Association does not seem to be very secure in asserting
exterminations, because it gives the impression that most of the Jews had been
“deported,” even though by this time other propagandists were speaking of three
million dead Jews.
