lll A Polish Policeman’s Story

The monstrous liquidation of the Warsaw ghetto is going ahead swiftly. Of the some 400,000 Jews in the ghetto, down to August 11^th inclusive some 180,000 have been carried off.

The Jewish community has given the official number of deportees as 160,000 (The usually accepted figure for the population of the ghetto, over 500,000, is fictitious, and was arrived at owing to the fact that the Jewish Community reported a larger number of Jews in the ghetto than there actually were, in order to obtain a surplus number of ration cards. There were between 100,000 and 150,000 such surplus cards in use.)

Jews employed in factories inside the ghetto, and living with their families within the walls surrounding the factory buildings or living in certain blocks of residential buildings inhabited only by workers and their families, were not to be deported.
