GENEVA (WNS) — Nazi au-
thorities in Holland ruled that
Amsterdam's 100,000 Jews must
pay one-third of the fine of 15,-
000,000 guilders ($8,000,000) im-
posed on Amsterdam by the Nazis
for the anti-Nazi demonstrations
which recently occurred in that
city, it was reported authorita-
tively here.
Charging that the Jews in Am-
sterdam instigated the anti-Nazi
strikes, Nazi spokesmen declared
that it was only right that the
Jews pay a third of the fine de-
spite the fact that they comprise
a small percentage of the city's
population.
Nazi officials announced also
that the non-Jewish population in
Amsterdam would be given six
months to pay the fine, while the
Jews must raise their portion by
May 1. Unable to raise the neces-
sary money in so short a time, the
Jewish community of Amsterdam
was reported to be negotiating
for a loan, offering its large syna-
gogue and other communal build-
ings as security.
Gestapo arrests of Jews are
continuing. Two more Jews were
executed following a Nazi court
martial, one for allegedly throw-
ing acid in the eyes of a Ger-
man policeman, and the other
for alleging posting placards urg-
ing Amsterdam workers to strike.
Scores of other Jews were given
prison terms ranging up to 10
years' imprisonment.

BELGRADE (WNS) — Four-
teen hundred Jews, including
many women and children, have
for the last two months been wan-
dering about a thin strip of ter-
ritory separating Hungary and
Rumania.
The Jewish wanderers were
deported from Rumania on the
ground that they were born in
the Hungarian part of Transyl-
vania and are Hungarian sub-
jects, it was learned. The Hun-
garian government rejected the
Rumanian contention and left the
1,400 Jews to their fate on the
new "no man's land" near Arad
on the Hungarian-Rumanian bor-
der.
Nazis in Bulgaria Rob Jews of
Their Valuables, Prevent
Escape
STOCKHOLM (WNS) —
A
wave of anti-Jewish terror fol-
lowed the Nazi occupation of Bul-
garia, it was reliably reported
here. Thousands of Jews gath-
ered at Varna, Black Sea port
town, in the hope they could es-
cape from the country by boat,
were systematically robbed of all
their possessions by Bulgarian
Nazis, it was learned.
The Nazis compelled Jewish
women to surrender their mar-
riage rings and other jewelry
while the men were made to
yield their gold chains and
watches. Baggage which the Jews
had collected in anticipation of
sudden flight disappeared "mys-
teriously."
1500 Jews and Poles Died in
Concentration Camp Near
Cracow
LISBON (WNS) — At least
1,500 Jewish and Polish inmates
of a Nazi concentration camp near
Cracow in Nazi-occupied Poland
died during the winter months as
a result of hunger, epidemics and
freezing weather, it was reported
here.
One of the worst concentration
camps in Poland, it holds 20,000
prisoners, of whom 7,000 are Jew-
ish. Nazi guards in the camps take
pride in the fact that few prison-
ers ever come out alive.
