New camps of outcast refugees sprang up in the German-Polish “no-man’s-land” today as the Warsaw Government refused admission to hundreds of Jews expelled from the Reich.
Groups of from 10 to 40 persons repeatedly crossed the frontier at Zbonszyn and Bytom, only to be driven back. It was estimated that approximately 2,000 Jews had been forced out of the Reich at various frontier points and were now marooned in the “no-man’s-land.”
A special train from Vienna arrived at Hindenburg in German Upper Silesia with 2,000 Jews, who were split into small groups and driven toward the frontier. Ninety of this group were arrested by Polish border guards at Rudaslonska and sent back to the “no-man’s-land” Another 78 of these Jews were expelled at revolver point by the Germans and refused admission at the Polish border.
The expulsions continued during the night. The position of the Jewish Refugee Committee in Warsaw is desperate, its funds being completely exhausted.
