The Jewish ghetto in Cracow, into which thousands of Jews were driven several months ago when the Nazis adopted the policy of making most Polish towns “Judenrein” and concentrating the Jews in a few large cities, is now completely empty, according to a broadcast from Berlin today by “Paul Revers,” renegade American who has been working for the Nazis.
Reporting on a visit he had just made to Cracow, the Nazi broadcaster stated that “there is not a single Jew left in the town.” He asserted that the entire Jewish population had been sent to the Lublin area. As recently as last week, reports reaching Switzerland indicated that there were still 5,000 Jews in the Cracow ghetto.
Another Berlin broadcast today quoted official German statistics to the effect that 11,000 farms which were seized from Jews in Poland have now been settled by German colonists.
