The Jews in Nazi-held Poland were told yesterday in a broadcast from here that “millions of Jewish and non-Jewish workers in the United States and in other free countries know of the sufferings which the Nazis are inflicting upon Polish Jewry as well as of the dignity and heroism which you display in showing resistance to the enemy.”
The broadcast was made by Samuel Zygelbaum, one of the two Jewish members of the Polish National Council, who represents the Jewish Socialist Labor Party “Bund” of Poland. “Your blood and tears will not be shed in vein. The day of redemption is not far off. You will then obtain your share of freedom and happiness in the new free Poland and in a free Europe,” Zygelbaum stated.
