A double page of photographs of Polish Jews, the majority of them between 70 and 80 years old, appears in a recent issue of the German newspaper Illustrieter Beobachter. The Jews are described as “hyenas of the battlefield” in a caption stating that they are suspected of having shot at German soldiers. Another picture in the issue shows them being taken away to a concentration camp and to execution.
