All property of the Slovak Jews who have been deported from Bratislava to remote parts of Slovakia, including the furniture and clothing which they were compelled to leave behind, is now being distributed among the local Hlinka Guards, the Slovak storm-troop organization, according to reports reaching here today.
Selected groups of the Hlinka Guards will be sent to Germany to attend courses there in so-called “Jewish ghetto management,” the report discloses. They will then return to Slovakia to administer the Jewish labor camps, the segregated Jewish sections of Trnava, Zilina, and other townships to where the Jews from Bratislava have been exiled, and eventually will be used as guards in the isolation camps which are being constructed to take care of the Jews who are temporarily confined in the provincial towns.
