was One of the first to reveal
to the world the horrors of
Maidanek, the Nazi murder
camp near Lublin. Another
speaker was David Siegel, Yid-
dish journalist, and Rabbi Spe•-
ka of Congregation Bnai David.
JEWS DEFEATED HITLER
"The Jews have defeated
Hi tler instead of Hitler de-
feating the Jews," declared
Mr. Davies. "The Nazis came
to Poland to kill all th e Jews
but they did not succeed.
They brought to Poland every
method of extermination known
to men and yet Jews still
survive in Poland and the
Jewish spirit is still alive in
Poland."
Ile described the murder camp
at Maidanek, which is located
just two miles front Lublin. Cya-
nide gas and carbon monoxide
were used to kill hundreds of
thousands. He declared that the
odor of rotting human flesh was
Si) strong (weeks after the Nazis
had been driven out) that it
was hardly bearable.
lie described the piles of hu-
man ashes, the mounds of human
skeletons and human bones which
were still piled up near the five
furnaces where tens of thou-
sands were cremated. He saw 70
bodies rotting in a reception
chamber.
Then Davies told of the huge
mountain of shoes of every de-
scription. nearly 1,000,000 pairs
of shoes of men, women and
children, stylish shoes, workmen's
shoes, farmer's shoes, shoes from
every country in Europe,
MANY PRAYER BOOKS
Davies described the piles of
prayer books of every language
and every sect, Jewish, Protest-
ant and Catholic. He told of the
thousands of children's toys
which had been carefully sorted
and exhibited a teddy bear which
he had picked up from the pile
by the Nazi victims.
4 left "Every
Jew who is alive in
Poland is a riving miracle,"
declared Davies. "These Jews
could not have survived if it
weren't for the help of Poles,
who often risked their lives
and the lives of their rela-
tives to help their Jewish
neighbors.
"The Lublin government rep-
resent ■ the interests of 80
per cent of the Polish people,
while the London government
represents mainly the land-
lords. The Lublin government
will prevail and become the
legal government of all Pol-
4, and.
100,000 SURVIVE
It was estimated that 100,000
Jews will surviv e out of :3,000.-
(100 in Poland before the war.
However, about 250,000 eastern
Polish Jews were evacuated to
trans-Cau•asia by Russia Whet:
the War broke out and most of
these are expected to return to
Poland.
Davies declared that under the
blin Polish government tin
X ture of the remnant of Polish
Jewry will he bright. There will
C be little basis for anti-Semitism
because the economic reasons
will have disappeared and be-
cause of the dearth of Jewish
artisans in postwar Poland tile
remaining Jews should have a
secure economic existence.
Mr. Siegel called Polish Jewr ∎
the root of world Judaism and
declared that an autommious
Jewish life should he built in
