 When the recent action started, few knew what

One man, who considers that he has had a lucky escape, 
was roused at 4.30 on tim fateful day and his wife
answered the bell.  When she saw the S.S. guards she
became hysterical.  He went to her assistance.  He was
knocked down and kicked in the mouth.  He lost some ten
teeth and had his jaw broken.  He bravely demanded to see
the order for his arrest.  The guards went to fetch this,
and in the meantime he was able to gain admittance to a
hospital with his broken jaw.      
 
 
 It is rumoured that another drive against the Jews
is imminent in January, and the 16th of that month is
given as the date of the proposed fresh action, It is 
anticipated that on this occasion also Jewish women will
be placed in the concentration camps, Jews have been
warned by their friends, who claim to have inside information, 
to get out of Germany before that date.  Further concentration
camps are being built by the "Arbeitsdienst" to house some
of the victims of the centersplated drive.

Jews in Germany, the policy-indicated at present is not
"women and children first", but men first; they are in 
the concentration camps and in imminent danger of death
