Of Jews' Fate in Europe

4,000 Word Article Released From Geneva By Independent
Jewish Press Service Reveals Hideous Tragedies
of Nazi Persecution

In a 4,000-word article syndicated in this country by
•the Independent Jewish Press Service, Richard Lichtheim,
writing from Geneva, Switzerland, warns that the Jews of
Europe are like "trapped mice running in circles" and ad-
monishes the Jews of America to
"Try to think the last thoughts of the three Jews who

were paraded through a Polish
town and hanged for having
tried to obtain some food from
non-Jews. Feel the feelings of
! the Jewish mother in Paris who
threw her six children and then
herself out of the window when
the police came to take her away
to a camp and then to Poland."
Enforced Deportations
Mr. Lichtheim, who is regard-
ed as the foremost Jewish jour-
inalist in Europe today, reviews
the position of the Jews in Eu-
rope and presents an outline of
rthe happenings in various large
t cities where persecutions of an
;unprecedented nature have taken
place. He describes the occur-
rences in Germany after Grynaz-
pan incident, relates happenings
in concentration camps which
were jammed with Jews punish-
ed for the act of the young Pol-
ish Jew and tells of the horrors
visited upon Jewish leaders.
Some of the stories were related

i

to the author by men who had
escaped from Germany.
The expose by Mr. Lichtheim
tells of the manner in which the
Nazis force Jewish communities
to enforce deportations of large
numbers of Jews to ghettos
where they are forced into slave
labor. The last remnants of Jew-
ish possessions have been taken
from them and "the ghetto walls
in Poland hide the most hideous
crimes ever committed by man's
brutality."
Slow Death for Millions
Mr. Lichtheim writes that these
ghettos mean "slow death for
millions by hunger, filth and dis-
ease: sometimes quick death by
shooting or hanging; slave labor
in barracks and camps for those
who are still able to work, es-
pecially for boys and girls from
12 years upward who have been
taken away from their parents
and are not allowed to write to

The Transcontinental Music
Corporation of New York an-
nounces publication of Julius
Chajes' new composition, "Zion,
Rise and Shine," a cantata for
contralto solo, mixed voices and
organ.
Mr. Chajes wrote the music to
the words of "Isaiah" The Eng-
lish version was adopted by Hugh
Ross, conductor of the New York
Schola Cantorum. Mr. Chajes
dedicated this composition to
Fred Butzel on the occasion of
the latter's 65th birthday.

them; a piece of black bread and
a watery soup their only nour-
ishment."
Mr. Lichtheim's report reveals
the blackest picture for Jews,
with no hope left for them for
survival. The title of the article
—"And Millions Shall Die"—
leaves the reader with a horrible
feeling over the terrors imposed
on a defenseless people by the
Germans.
