At the same time the Gestapo raided the only Jewish hospital in Berlin a confiscated its entire food stores. Two German storekeepers were sentenced to the years at hard labor and fined 70,000 marks each, for selling rationed food to a Jewish boarding house, the Swedish correspondent also reports today.
