To make Griefenhagen, Pomerania, 100 per cent “Aryan,” local Nazis bundled the community’s three Jewish families into an abandoned railway coach and rolled them beyond the town limits, it was learned here today. Forbidden to migrate to nearby Stettin, the Jews have been living in their “portable ghetto” since the Nov. 10 pogrom. A curfew law forbids them to enter Griefenhagen except between the hours of 7:30 and 9 a.m. for shopping.
