A Berlin dispatch to the Neue Zurcher Zeitung reported today that the Nazis have established a special agency attached to the Gestapo headquarters at Machrisch-Ostrau to handle the transfer of Jews to the projected Jewish “reservation” in the Lublin area of Nazi Poland.
Transfer of all the Jews from the “Protectorate,” Austria and the annexed Polish provinces will be completed by April 1, according to the dispatch.
