“Nazi Kultur in Poland”
Received Tuesday, 7.50 p.m. LONDON, Feb. 20. Polish writers in various parts ol Poland under German occupation without the opportunity of collaboration wrote chapters of a book which has been entitled “Nazi Kuitur in Poland” and published by the British Stationery Office for the Polish Ministry of Information. The unknown authors wrote much of the book by candlelight in coats and gloves with raw, frostbitten hands. When the chapters were finished in February, 1942, they were photographed sheet by sheet on a tiny film a little over an inch wide containing 9000 words on each. The films containing nearly 200,000 words were then smuggled from Warsaw to England. The book tells how hundreds of Polish priests were killed, all Polish schools closed, university professors murdered and library and museum treasures looted.
