The Polish Government-in-Exile today instructed its consulate in Casablanca to extend all possible aid to 500 Jewish refugees from Poland now in French Morocco. Some of these refugees have already been released from the camps where they were held, but the majority are still interned, the Polish Government learned.
Similar instructions were wired to the Polish consulate in Algiers. The Polish Government also requested the Consul to forward to London the names of Polish Jews released from camps in Algeria.
