More than 150,000 Jews were deported during the month of July from Nazi-occupied Poland to various parts of Germany for forced labor there, it is reported in the Krakauer Zeitung the Nazi organ published in Cracow, which reached here today.

This is the first time that any Nazi publication has reported the transfer of Jews from Poland for work in Germany. All previous reports indicated that the Jews from Poland were being sent to forced labor on fortifications which the Nazis are building in occupied Russia territory.
