The 65,000 Jews ordered by the Nazi authorities to leave Cracow have been urged to go to Warsaw and other large cities, the Krakauer Zeitung reports.
Transport facilities have been reportedly offered the Jews by the Nazis and the first to leave will be bachelors, followed successively by young girls and families. The Journal de Geneve last week reported that 10,000 of the 65,000 Jews ordered to depart will be permitted to remain to prevent a commercial dislocation in Cracow.
