Fifty German-Jewish children who are now among 5,000 Polish-Jewish exiles from Germany detained at the Polish frontier station of Zbonszyn will be brought to England at the expense of the Baldwin Fund for Refugees, the Central Refugee Committee announced today. Preparations for their transfer are already under way.
Meanwhile, the question of the fate of the Zbonszyn refugees was again brought before the Sejm by Deputy Emil Sommerstein, who refuted Premier Skladkowski’s recent declaration that half of the refugees had already left Zbonszyn, declaring only a small fraction had been permitted to proceed to the interior of Poland. Asserting the health of the exiles was poor and the Zbonszyn hospital overcrowded, he appealed to the Social Welfare Minister to appoint a special committee to investigate the problem and assign a certain amount for the refugees’ most elementary needs.
A high official of the Polish Government has departed for Berlin, it was disclosed today, with instructions connected with the Polish-German negotiations on the question of Polish Jews living in Germany, who are faced with denationalization by Poland and consequent expulsion by the Reich. It is understood that the negotiations, broken off several days ago, will be resumed in Berlin.
