The suggestion which is now being advocated in England that Jews from Axis countries should be exchanged for Italian civilians repatriated from Ethiopia is supported today in an article published by the News-Chronicle, one of England’s leading daily newspapers.
“A small measure of practical assistance for the unfortunate people is of greater value than columns of official denunciations,” the article says. “There is nothing yet to show that the threats of the Allied Nations for post-war punishment for the Nazi massacres of Jews has hampered the Nazis in their atrocities in Poland and elsewhere. The urgent task now is to get out as many as possible prospective victims from the clutches of the Nazi gangs of murderers.”
Jewish youth organizations in England today announced their decision to plant a children’s forest in Palestine in commemoration of the Jewish children massacred by the Nazis in the ghettos of occupied Poland.
