The Nazi authorities today liquidated the country’s largest Jewish agricultural settlement in Gross-Gaglow near Kottbus, where Jewish youths were being trained for work on farms in Palestine and other countries.
The sum of 300,000 marks, approximately $120,000, had been spent by the Jewish Community on this settlement, which has been in existence for four years. The twenty-four Jewish families now practicing colonization work at the settlement were ordered by the authorities to vaculate the land by June 1.
