The deportation to Nazi-held Galicia of thousands of Slovakian Jews held in ten “ghetto towns”near the Polish frontier started this week under an arrangement reached between the Nazi authorities in Poland and the Slovakian government, according to advices reaching here from Slovakia.
The Gardista, official organ of the anti-Semitic Hlinka Guard, which reached here today, carries a report that Jews in Slovakia will henceforth be forbidden to move from their present quarters, under an order issued by Sano Mach, Slovakian Minister of Interior. The order will remain in force until the transfer of all Slovak Jews to the “ghetto towns”is completed.
Another order issued by Mach cancels the regulations which exempted Jews holding labor permits from wearing the yellow Mogen David.
