Encouragement to the Jews of Poland “who are suffering inhuman cruelties,” and the wish that the new Jewish year will bring liberation to millions of other Jews in Nazi-controlled Europe is expressed in a Rosh Hashanah message issued here today by Gen. Wldyslaw Sikorski, Premier of the Polish Government. The message reads:
“Throughout the countries overrun by Hitler the Jewish population is being ruthlessly exterminated by an invader who has discarded the most sacred rights of man to life and property. His atrocities have aroused the indignation of all the civilized world.
“On the occasion of the Jewish New Year I wish to convey a message of encouragement to the Jews of Poland who are suffering inhuman cruelties, inflicted without mercy by the barbarian German hordes. I express the sincere wish to world Jewry that by ultimate victory of the Allies this New Year might bring liberation to millions of their kin.”
