AN EARLY ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE HORRORS OF THE HOLOCAUST. The Polish government in exile announced to the Allied countries of Europe, together with the USA and Soviet Russia, that Nazi Germany was not only exterminating German Jews but also Jews from across occupied Poland. This pamphlet describes the workings of the Warsaw Ghetto and the targets set by the Nazis for the numbers of Jews to be eliminated, together with the various methods employed for the killing of Jews. It estimates that by December 1942 over one million Polish Jews have already been murdered; by the end of the war, more than three million Polish Jews had died.
