MASSACRE OF JEWS

NAZIS’ SATANIC CRIMES POLAND SLAUGHTERHOUSE (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Dec*. 14. 11 a.m.) LONDON. Dec. 13 An appeal to the United Nations to open the gates of their countries and save at least the children “from mass poisoning and burial alive byHitler and his hell-hounds,” was made by the Chief Rabbi. Dr. Hertz, when preaching on the occasion of the Jewish Day of Mourning. He added: “We are filled with horror at the deliberate killing of millions of defenceless men, women and children. Poland has become a vast slaughterhouse for Jews in Europe. The indifference which a portion of the British press and some Government circles display towards the most appalling massacre in history is amazing. Public opinion must be aroused to saianic crime of murdering an entire nation, as well as to the infamy that will be ours if we shut our ears to its death cries. “We turn to our beloved England, which for so many centuries has been Europe’s conscience and leader in so many humanitarian crusades, and agonisingly we exclaim: ‘England, awake. Jerusalem, thy sister, calls.’ ” The Washington correspondent of the New York Times states that the United States is carrying on diplomatic conversations with other Nations with a view to making a declaration regarding criminal acts, murder and persecution of Jews and other people in Nazi-occupied countries.
