Nazi newspapers reaching here today from Berlin estimate that there are about 40,000 Jews living in the Donetz Basin, the target of the German drive on the southern Soviet front.
Reports reaching Polish circles here disclose that the Polish Embassy in Soviet Russia now has on its staff more than 15 Polish Jews most of whom are assigned to the task of contacting Jews from Poland exiled by the Soviets to distant parts of Russia. These Jews were exiled from Eastern Galicia when the territory was occupied by the Soviet armies, and are now being released under the Russian-Polish pact.
