NEW YORK, (JTA)—The Jewish Labor Committee this
t week made public a report of Nazi atrocities against Jews
which was smuggled out of Warsaw to London by a secret
courier of the United Polish Underground Organizations who,
:for more than a year, was a member of the Polish police
`force, organized by' the Germans.
Only a few of the millions of Jews who were in Poland
at the time of its occupation are still alive, the report says,
and "it is no longer a question of oppressing Jews but of
their complete extermination by especially devised and per-
fected methods of pain and torture."
"In the city of Otwock," the report adds, "the entire
Jewish population, numbering 3,200, was murdered by two
German companies in one night between midnight and 8 Pianist to Address
o'clock the next morning." Even before the mass murder
which began in the middle of July, 1942, says the report, Religious Study Club
conditions in the Warsaw ghetto were desperate.

Organized Hunting Parties

' The report paints a grim picture of Nazi atrocities direct-
ed against young boys and girls. "Germans organized hunting
parties to shoot down by the thousands the children roaming
the streets of the ghetto. Like beasts, the Germans comb the
ghetto during the day, dragging children out of their homes
or off the streets, and shooting them before the ghetto gates."
The report also says German soldiers and Gestapo men
visit the ghetto to test their markmanship.

6,000 Jews Killed Daily

Confirmation of new mass executions on an accelerated
tempo in Poland was made jublic by Dr. Stephen S. Wise,
President of the American Jewish Congress, on the basis of
a new report received from the European representatives of
the World Jewish Congress.
The report, dated January 19, asserts that advices receiv-
ed by the European headquarters of the World Jewish Con-
gress indicate that in one place in Poland 6,000 Jews are killed
daily.
