The Union of German Socialist Organizations in Britain today issued a manifesto “to the civilized world,” expressing its “feeling of horror and bitterness” at the Nazi extermination of Jews in Europe. The manifesto approves the declaration of the Allied Nations promising punishment to all those responsible for the Nazi crimes against the Jews in occupied countries.

The German Trade Unions in Britain have issued a similar manifesto, stressing the fact that Jewish and non-Jewish workers in Poland are showing joint resistance to the Nazis. “Our fight to regain freedom and equality for all men would be meaningless should the Jews, who are suffering most of all of the oppressed peoples, be deprived of the fruits of this struggle,” the manifesto says.
