The merciless mass-extermination by the Nazis of Jewish children in occupied Poland is graphically portrayed in a manifesto issued by Polish groups here today in preparation for a Day of Protest Against the Persecution of Polish Children which will be held under the auspices of the Polish Children Rescue Fund.
The manifesto declares that “thousands of Jewish children perished in Poland side by side with grown-up Jews during the so-called liquidation of the Jewish ghettos.” It cites a number of the especially brutal incidents, including the case of the Jewish orphan home in Warsaw where all the children were “deported” to death together with their teachers and the director, Janusz Korczak.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
