DEPORTATIONS
CONDITIONS IN POLAND. The deportation of Polish people from the incorporated areas continues. Farmers whose farms are to be allocated to “frontline soldiers” after the war are allowed to remain, in order to keep the husbandries in good condition. At present all deportees are taken to Lodz, where they spend anything from three days to six weeks in a camp and then are sent cither to the General Government or else to forced labour in Germany. Lately the terror has been particularly fierce in the Lodz province, where mass deportations of all classes, down to skilled workmen and foremen are taking place. At Poznan the centre of the city has been cleared of Poles, and the newer suburbs and new buildings are almost entirely cleared. The Poles are forced into old buildings, where sometimes three families have to live in three rooms, four to six people in one room. They are located in areas close to military objectives and so are liable to be bombed.
