Living space in the Warsaw ghetto is so restricted that two families have to be accommodated in a single room, the Polish Telegraphic Agency learns from a reliable informant who has arrived in Istanbul from Warsaw.

Average earnings, he states, are as low as from 90 to 200 zlotys, and in present conditions this does not suffice even for the purchase of food.

Conditions in the concentration camp at Oswiecin, it is stated, are even worse. There is no heating at all, and recently some three hundred persons were found frozen to death.
