The Jewish National Council of Palestine today cabled the International Red Cross in Geneva requesting that it verify reports reaching here to the effect that the Nazis are killing Polish-Jewish soldiers taken prisoner.
The reports published in the Palestine newspapers today stated that the Nazis have separated the Jewish war prisoners from the Polish and have banned them from receiving aid through the Red Cross. Since the Red Cross representatives are unable to contact them, the Jewish prisoners are being exterminated by the Nazis in open violation of existing international regulations governing the treatment of captives, the reports disclosed.
