Six thousand Gestapo agents have arrived in Budspest for the purpose of starting an intensified anti-Jewish drive along the same lines as in other Nazi-occupied countries, the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reports today.

The German Transocean news agency reports that macs-arrests of Jews have been started in Rumania. Some were arrested for anti-German activities and others “for continuing Zionist activities and for smuggling Jews from Poland into Rumania,” the Sari news agency said.

Thirty-two Rumanian Jews were also arrested in Bucharest charged with “establishing contact with Jewish parachutists and cooperating with agents of Tito,” the Transocean news agency reported, adding that they will all be put on trial before a court martial.
