In a short time 100 600 homeless
Jews had gathered in Warsaw. A
general panic broke out. The widest

would be exiled-all the Jews from
Plozk, from Kielz, from Rodom.
And as a matter OF fact only a few
days later they started to drive all the
Jews from Klelz and Rodom. There
began among the Jews In Poland a
pitiful wandering to and fro. The
Jewish communities OF Kielz and
Rodom sent out Populations to War

was In vain.
A few more days passed and the
authorities commanded hat all the
Jews should be sen out OF Plotzk
that is. about 40 900 Jews. And since
Warsaw was already overcrowded
with homeless Jews they decided to
send the exiled Jews from Plotzk to
Siberia. This intention the authorities
in Poland announced publicly.
A terrible panic broke out in Plotzk.
