Nazi seizure of food packages sent from America to Jews in Germany was revealed today by a refugee here. The refugee said he had sent a parcel of food to relatives in the Reich and had received a letter from them which said that upon receiving it they had “donated” it to the Nazi Winter Relief Organization. This the refugee took to mean that the authorities had delivered the parcel and then forced the recipients to give it up.
