The Slovak Government is planning new anti-Semitic measures creating forced labor camps for Jews and expelling Jews from central areas of all towns, it was reported today from Bratislava. Further economic measures are also contemplated, it was said.
The Nazi newspaper Neues Wiener Tageblatt said the Slovak Government intended to decree forced labor for all Jews and establish camps supported by the Jewish communities.
The number of those considered Jews in Slovakia has increased from 15,000 to 105,000 by the inclusion of Christians of Jewish origin, it was said.
