scheduled to open in Warsaw to-
morrow, between 5000 and 10000
Polish Jews, deported from the
Reich, today were being accom-.
modated in homes or special
camps.
In Germany thousands who
had been taken to the Polish
frontier were transported back to
their residences to await outcome
Of the negotiations.
NeuO Persecution
Fate Of the latter group hangs
in the balance. but it seemed Ger
tain today that all Jews in the
Reich face q new program OF
anti-Jewish retaliation.
Warning came in the form OF
placards plaStered on practically
all Jewish shops in northeast and
southeast Berlin. Referring to an
alleged attack on a party OF Ger
man tourists by Jews in AmSter-
dam, the placardS said:
I'VE will no longer tolerate
tormenting and beating UP OF
our German compatriotS
abroad by vermin," and added
parenthetically (Jews).
Warns All JeWs
The placards also were con
strued as a warning to Jews IN
America and the rest Of the world
to cease attacks on Germany as
a result of the deportation Of the
Poles, otherwise the Jews in Ger
many will suffer.
After days and nights Of tribu
Ilations in barracks, stations, rail
road cars, and even in the open
the Jews who were pushed over
the Polish frontier last week were
being cared for by the Jewish
Joint Distribution committee.
Many were sent to relatives
homes and others were taken care
Of in the committees camps.
Some of the deportees chose to
remain at the frontier, in the
hope that the Berlin Warsaw
negotiations would enable them
to return to their homes and bust
nesses in Germany.
9 Refugees Die
At least nine deaths were re
ported among the exiled Jews.
The worst situation prevailed al
Zbazyn, where, among $500 de-
porteeS, there were hundreds Of
children who were taken to the
border direct from school,, with
Eodt their parents
One witness reported from Rad
zionska:
1.-TWO thousand crying chill
dren and helpless women and
men appeared at the border Sat
urday, surrounded by hundreds
Of German frontier guards.
The Germans began to push
the refugees, and a number Of
machine guns were placed across
the road, as if to impress the de-
portees that none would be al
lowed to remain in Germany
alive.
They had little clothing and
only about 10 marks (about 50
EACH"
Their jewelry and other valU
ables were confiscated.
At Kawotice, it was reported
that q number Of refugees, in
Guiding 18 children from the Jew
ish orphanage at Frankford, were
forced over the frontier afoot the
fields. Guards, who were equipped
also with machine guns, fired p1s
tol shots over their heads ant
threatened to shot the refugees II
they turned back.
