The Associated Press reported from Berlin today that between 10,000 and 15,000 Jews have been rounded up and headed toward the Polish border or ordered to get out of Germany across other borders. The news agency also said it had been reliably informed that all Jews in East Prussia, estimated to total 11,000, were ordered to leave by June 20.
As summarized by the A.P., the situation is as follows: Leipzig–4,000 given one-month notices to leave; Munich–600 given one-month notices and an unknown number ordered out within a few hours; Dresden–several hundred given one-week notices, expiring to morrow; Breslau–one transport already has left for the Polish border; Kassel–one transport gone, carrying an unknown number. The round-up also covers Hanover, Kiel, Bremen, Nuremberg, Karlsruhe, Bamberg, Wuerzberg, Darmstadt and Cologne, according to the agency.
