Meanwhile, relatives here of the involuntary repatriates were thronging the offices of the Reich Union ok Polish Jews seeking means of communication with the deportees.
The previously reported possibility that deportation proceedings would be extended to thousands of other foreign Jews grew today after the article yesterday in Das Schwarze Korps, organ of Hitler’s elite guards, which declared that the first task was to remove from Germany stateless Jews, and also those foreign Jews whose governments could not guarantee the possibility of return to their countries.
