NAZI TERRORISM
SLAUGHTER OF SERBS HOMES SACKED & BURNED HUNGARIAN COMPLICITY (Rccd. Aug. 16. 0 a.m.) JERUSALEM, Aug. 15. Americans evacuated from Yugoslavia report a new wave of terrorism against the Serbs. They reveal ruthless shootings and destruction of Serbians’ property. Over 7000 Serbs have been killed in one centre, while the first day after Yugoslavia’s capitulation the Germans shot 1500 Serbs. Serbian villages northward of Belgrade were sacked and set on fire and entire populations killed, members of the Hungarian minority and also Hungarian troops participating. Yugoslav guards, whom the Germans placed in Serbia, have been disarmed because the Germans suspect them of assisting the Serbs. Berlin news agency reports from Zagreb mention wholesale shootings in Bosnia as a result of a “mutiny” in a concentration camp. Two persons were shot at Sarajevo for distributing leaflets.
