The value of Jewish property confiscated by the Germans in Poland was estimated at a billion dollars in a memorandum submitted here today to the Polish Consul General by a group of Polish-Jewish industrialists residing in Palestine.
The memorandum asked the Polish Government-in-Exile to invalidate all transfers of Jewish property in Poland which occurred after Sept. 1, 1939, when the country was invaded by the German armies. The Consul-General promised to transmit this demand to his government in London.
