Twenty-five thousand Jews have been forcibly transferred from the Warsaw ghetto to a barrack camp on the outskirts of the former Polish capital, it is revealed by the Nazi organ, Litzmannstaedter Zeitung.
The camp consists of 30 barracks housing 800 to 1,200 each. The reason for the transfer is not given, but it is assumed to be overcrowding in the ghetto. The camp lacks elementary sanitary facilities and heating and the roadways are a foot deep in mire.
