They are suffering fur want of food, and hundreds are dying as a result of a typhus epidemic which has broken out among them. In the first of the two pogroms in Novgorod-‘'olinsk, SOO Jews lost their lives. There is no way of de- termining how many were killed in the second pogrom, but the number of victims is known to be very large. The horrors perpetrated in these two pogroms have scarcely been equalled before. Aged Jews, inmates of the Homes for the Aged, were murdered; masses of J ews, even little children, were buried alive. All the streets were littered with Jewish vic- tims, dead and wounded.
