Jewish women and children who succeeded in escaping from the Nazis and reaching Palestine “straight from the ghettos in Warsaw, Piotrokow, Radom and other Jewish communities” have confirmed the news of the Nazi mass-execution of Jews, the American headquarters of the Hashomer Hatzair, Zionist labor group, reported here today on the basis of information received from its executive committee in Palestine.
The Palestine headquarters of the organization has also released eyewitness accounts of some of the rescued Jews, including the testimony of an eight-year-old boy from Piotrokow and that of a Jewish woman who witnessed the mass-execution of hundreds of Jews in Radom.
