The German authorities intend to make the Polish city of Lublin entirely “judenrein” and plan to transfer all the residents of the two ghettos there to a new segregated section outside of the city, the Berlin correspondent of the Swedish daily Aftonbladet reports today.
At the end of last year there were 40,000 Jews in the Lublin ghettos. Additional contingents of Jews, however, were sent to Lublin this year, until early this month when the Nazis announced that overcrowding in the ghetto would make it impossible to accommodate any more Jews there.
Reports reaching here from Poland today disclose that 1,500 Jews have died from starvation in Radom since the beginning of this year. The extent of the starvation among the Jews there is revealed in the report of the recent execution of ten Jews for leaving the Radom ghetto without permission. One of those executed told the Nazi special tribunal that his hunger drove him to leave the ghetto to search for food.
