Unto Thee Also the
Cup Shall Pass Over'
BY DR. N. E. ARONSTAM
The cup shall pass over onto
thee also.—Lam. 5-10
Unto thee also the cup shall pass
over;
Druken and naked thy deeds
shall destroy thee.
Deem not thy power shall shield
thee forever,
Think not thy cohorts shall
fend thee and cover:
Glittering steel and the weapons
of slaughter,
Bulwarks of falsehood and fast-
n esas, of treason.
Unto thee also the cup shall pass
over:
Crumbling thine empire shall
shatter to fragments,
Shadows of glory that dwindle
and vanish.
Daughter of Edom, rejoice not
too early
Israel's keeper ne'er slumb'reth
nor sleepeth.

WARSAW (JTA) — Rudolph
Hoess, former commandant of the
Oswiecim death camp, on trial
here for murdering 4,000,000 per-
sons many of whom were Jews,
confirmed testimony by Dr. J.
M. Blumenthal, director of the
Jewish Historical Commission in
Poland, that approximately '1,-
500,000 Jews were exterminated
at Oswiecim.
Hoess, who has been described
at "the greatest mass murderer
in history," revealed that ship-
ments of Jews to the camp's gas
chambers and crematoria in-
cluded 110,000 Jews from France,
95,000 from Holland, 65,000 from
Greece, 45,000 from Hungary and
20,000 from Belgium. He added
transports had also arrived from
Yugoslavia, Italy, Russia, Ro-
mania, Bulgaria and Spain, and
that Finland was the only Nazi-
controlled country which did not
ship Jews to their death at the
camp.
Dr. Blumenthal testified Jew-
ish historians had discovered
4,200,000 of the 6,200,000 Jews
murdered in Europe had been
killed in Poland. Three million
were Polish Jews. In -addition to

those killed at Oswiecim, he said,
775,000 perished at the Treblinka
camp, 330,000 at Chelmo, 400,000
at Majdanek and another 400,000
at Sobibor and Belzac. -
Most of' the witnesses during
the last few days have been
Jewish survivors from Italy, Bel-
gium, Franc e, Czechoslovakia,
Hungary and Norway. Some told
of seeing children burned alive
and of Hoess forcing mothers to
strangle their own children. -
Earlier, Polish Premier Josef
CyrankieWicz, who was an in-
mate at Oswiecim for a number
of years, testified. He stated the
Nazis intended to establish an
"extermination city" called
Himmlerstadt on the site of the
camp.
