The total number of Jews murdered in Germany between March 6 and April 18 was 172, according to information received here today. This number included twenty-nine Jews who have totally disappeared, and are therefore regarded as dead. The report does not include any statistics from the prisoners’ concentration camps, where thousands of Jews are confined and subjected to inhuman treatment and in some cases to torture.
