The Swedish press today reports that some Jews from occupied Poland have been brought to Germany to do forced labor in the fields in Schleswing-Hollstein where the acute shortage of farm hands is threatening the forthcoming crop. The Jews are confined in separate barracks and are not permitted to buy tobacco and a number of other commodities.
The newspapers also report that General Cispeanu, Rumanian commander in charge of the Jewish concentration camps, has fallen into disfavor after being charged with “accepting bribes from rich Jews and releasing them from the camps.”
