The Nazi authorities in Poland have begun the expulsion of 40,000 Jews from Kalisz and the neighboring towns of Begun and Sandomierz, according to information reaching Paris today.
Entire Jewish populations have already been driven out of Wloclawek, Cierpz near Warsaw and other localities in the German-occupied territory, it was reported. Many of those expelled were said to have been killed by Nazi guards when they halted because of exhaustion. Synagogues were destroyed in the towns from which the Jews had been driven, it was declared.
