Gen. Sikorski pledged a peace- ful Poland in the future, apply- ing the principles of democracy to her domestic and foreign policies. Jan Ciechanowski, Polish am- bassador, read a message received from the women of Poland, sent via Poland's underground postal system. It read in part: "What is happening today in Poland de- fies description and surpasses the imagination. Tens of thousands of innocent people are daily being murdered by the Nazis. Men, women and children are being caught in the streets, thrown into closed cars and carried off to gas chambers for mass execution. The Germans call this the 'liquid- ation of the Jewish element' " At the premier's request, the audience rose and maintained a minute of silence in honor of the victims of Hitler's barbarism. Benjamin Graubart, greeting Premier Sikorski, emphasized that the Jews, more than any other people, have constantly de- fended their right to live inde- pendently and to develop their own national culture and person- ality, even as European minor- ities are now dedicated towards maintaining that same right.
