Dispatches to Italian-language newspapers published in Switzerland disclose that the Germans in the large industrial city of Milan are mercilessly exterminating and deporting the Jewish population.
A report published today says that before being deported to Poland, the Jews are jammed into small empty rooms, where there is hardly standing room, and left there for several days without food and with no sanitary provisions. One report declares that the Milan Jews are on the verge of starvation before even being loaded into the deportation trains which take them to Poland.
