Holders of Palestine passports in those areas of occupied Poland proclaimed integral parts of the Reich may be interned for the duration of the war as “enemy aliens,” it was learned here today. A number of Palestinian citizens were caught in Poland at the outbreak of the war, but while some succeeded in leaving after the Nazi occupation others were stranded in Lodz, which was the largest center of Hechalutz (Palestine pioneer training) activities.
