The Nazis are pleased that the extermination of the Jews is being carried out with all necessary efficiency. This act is done by Jewish slaughterers.
It is the Jewish police who are the most cruel towards the convicts.
The Nazis are satisfied with the work of the Jewish police, this scourge of the Jewish organism.
Yesterday, August 3rd, they destroyed Zamenhofa and Pawia streets.
SS murderers stood guard while the Jewish police worked in the courtyards. It was slaughter in the right style - they had no mercy, even for children and babies. All of them, without exception, were taken to the Gates of Death.
