The number of Jews in the Polish city of Wloclawek, which the Germans have renamed Leslau, has been reduced since Nazi occupation from 18,000 to 3,000, the Nazi weekly “Das Reich” reports.
All 3,000 Jews, the Nazi organ writes, have been isolated in one district of the city, so that they are no longer seen in the streets. The houses of the Jews expelled into the ghetto are assigned to new German settlers who are arriving at Wloclawek at the rate of 300 a week.
