The Krakauer Zeitung, Nazi organ in German-occupied Poland, reports that the Hitler Elite Guard brigade leader, Globocnik, who organized anti-Jewish excesses in Vienna after Anschluss, is now in charge of “Jewish retraining” in the Lublin “reservation.”
A large group of Nazi newspapermen, accompanied by Baron Prel, press chief of the Government-General administration, recently inspected the reservation during a tour of Nazi Poland and were shown Jewish workshops established by Globocnik, where Jews were forced to work at manufacture of leather goods and fur coats.
“There was great joy at seeing these idlers for the first time doing useful work under German direction,” the paper said.
