Jewish Mass Graves in Warsaw Ghetto Described by German Paper

Collective graves for Jews are the latest Nazi innovation in the ghetto in Warsaw, according to a report published in the Hamburger Fremdenblatt, one of the leading newspapers in Germany, reaching here today.

Stating that the mass graves are intended for Jews whose families cannot provide for their funeral, the Nazi newspaper describes them as follows: “The mass grave is a trench thirty meters long and twenty meters wide filled with naked corpses of men, women and children. The Jewish grave-diggers are continually working at great speed as the death rate in the ghetto, with 600,000 inhabitants is enormous. The corpses are buried by covering them with only a few shovels full of earth; consequently sometimes heads, feet or hands are seen protruding above the earth.”
