Four Polish Jews from Upper Silesia are now being held as war prisoners “somewhere in the Middle East” it was learned here today. They were conscripted by the Nazis for military service in a group of Poles from Upper Silesia whom the German military command sent to the Libyan front.
(Polish citizens residing in the Western provinces of Poland, which have been incorporated into the Reich, are now being drafted for service with the German army, the Polish Information Center in New York reported today. It stated that in Upper Silesia, the first group of draftees consisted of 8,000 men born between 1907 and 1914.)
