Nazi policemen in Warsaw have publicly drowned thirty Jewish children in the water-filled marl-pits near Okopowa Street, according to a report released here today by the American Friends of Polish Democracy.
The children had been caught trying to escape from the ghetto into the “aryan” section of the city. “Homeless children are the scourge of the Warsaw ghetto,” the report says. “Gangs of them swam in the streets, begging, stealing. They live and die in doorways, in abandoned ruins, in the streets.”
