Dr. Ignacy Schwarzbart, Jewish member of the Polish National Council, today appealed to leaders of the Allied Nations to take effective measures against Germany’s segregation in separate camps of Jews among Polish war prisoners.
Confirmation of such segregation reached Dr. Schwarzbart from the International Red Cross. Emphasizing that the segregated Jewish soldiers face the danger of annihilation, Dr. Schwarzbart asked that the Allied Nations exchange them for German prisoners. The British section of the World Jewish Congress submitted a similar appeal to the Foreign Office here. (In New York, the Amergency Committee to Save the Jewish People of Europe cabled to Gen. Eisenhower asking for a warning of stern retaliation against German prisoners held by the Allies.)
