The special correspondent of the Manchester Guardian in Turkey today reports from Ankara that “the Hungarians are surpassing their German masters in cruelty in annihilating the Jews.”

The correspondent confirms that 400,000 Jews have already been “liquidated” in provincial towns in Hungary. Some of them have been deported to Poland while others were transported to labor camps where they work under appalling conditions. The liquidation of the Jews in Budapest is going on in great speed, the correspondent adds, disclosing that many are being deported to Poland in sealed trucks.
