It is learned that the some 1200 Jews removed from Stettlin have been settled in three small towns in the neighborhood of Lublin where they are said to be now living under conditions of considerable hardship and poverty.
According to reliable information the order for the deportation of the Jews from Schneidemuhl was issued by the same local authority who was responsible for the action taken in Stettin. An arrangement has been tentatively concluded whereby the Schneidemuhl Jews will not be sent to Eastern Poland as has been the case with those from Stettin but will be transferred to other parts of the Reich.

The United States of America were neutral during the first two years of the Second World War. They were brought into the conflict by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour on 7 December 1941 and became one of the decisive belligerent nations, defeating Japan in the Pacific and heavily contributing to the war effort against the Axis powers, e.g. during the Allied landings in North Africa, Italy and France. American forces invaded German territory early in 1945.
