Zjednoczone o exterminacji Żydów polskich i europejskich przez
Hitlerowców na terenach okupowanych.
INTRODUCTORY NOTE
The purpose of this publication is to make public the contents of
the Note of December 10th, 1942, addressed by the Polish Government
to the Governments of the United Nations concerning the mass
extermination of Jews in the Polish territories occupied by Germany,
and also other documents treating on the same subject.
In the course of the last three years the Polish Government has
lodged a number of protests with the Governments of the civilized
countries of the world condemning the repeated violations by Germany
of International Law and of the fundamental princi-ples of morality
since September 1st, 1939, i.e. since Germany's aggression against
Poland.
In the Note of May 3rd, 1941, presented to the Governments of the
Allied and Neutral Powers the Polish Government gave a comprehensive
survey of the acts of violence perpetrated against the population of
Poland, of offences against religion and cultural heritage and
destruction of property in Poland. Since then, however, many
increasingly brutal acts of violence and terror have been com-mitted
by German authorities in Poland. In recent months these persecutions
have been directed with particular violence against the Jewish
population, who have been subjected to new methods calculated to
bring about the complete extermination of the Jews, in conformity
with the public statements made by the leaders of Germany.
In the hope that the civilized world will draw the appropriate
conclusions, the Polish Government desire to bring to the notice of
the public, by means of the present white Paper, these renewed
German efforts at mass extermination, with the employment of fresh
horrifying methods.
* Republic of Poland, Ministry of Foreign Affairs: "The German
Occupation of Poland," Extract of Note addressed to the Governments
of the Allied and Neutral Powers on May 3, 1941, London and New
York.
REPUBLIC OF POLAND
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
LONDON,
December 10th, 1942
Your Excellency,
On several occasions the Polish Government have drawn the attention
of the civilized world, both in diplomatic documents and official
publications, to the conduct of the German Government and of the
German authorities of occupation, both military and civilian, and to
the methods employed by them "in order to reduce the population to
virtual slavery and ultimately to exterminate the Polish nation".
These methods, first introduced in Poland, were subsequently,
applied in a varying degree, in other countries occupied by the
armed forces of the German Reich.
2. At the Conference held at St. James's Palace on January
13th, 1942, the Governments of the occupied countries placed among
their principal war aims the punishment,
through the channel of organized justice, of those guilty of, or
responsible for, those crimes, whether they have ordered them,
perpetrated them, or participated in them".
Despite this solemn warning and the declarations of President
Roosevelt, of the Prime Minister, Mr. Winston Churchill, and of the
People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, M. Molotov, the German
Government has not ceased to apply its methods of violence and
terror. The Polish Government have received numerous reports from
Poland testifying to the constant intensification of German
persecu-tion of the subjected populations.
3. Most recent reports present a horrifying picture of the position
to which the Jews in Poland have been reduced. The new methods of
mass slaughter applied during the last few months confirm the fact
that the German authorities aim with systematic deliberation at the
total extermination of the Jewish population of Poland and of the
many thousands of Jews whom the German authorities have deported to
Poland from Western and Central European countries and from the
German Reich itself.
The Polish Government consider it their duty to bring to the
knowledge of the Governments of all civilized countries the
following fully authenticated information received from Poland
during recent weeks, which indicates all too plainly the new methods
of extermination adopted by the German authorities.
4. The initial steps leading to the present policy of exter-mination
of the Jews were taken already in October 1940, when the German
authorities established the Warsaw ghetto. At that time all the
Jewish inhabitants of the Capital were ordered to move into the
Jewish Quarter assigned to them not later than November 1st, 1940,
while all the non-Jews domiciled within the new boundaries of what
was to become the ghetto were ordered to move out of that quarter.
The Jews were allowed to take only personal effects with them, while
all their remaining property was confiscated. All Jewish shops and
businesses outside the new ghetto boun-daries were closed down and
sealed. The original date for these transfers was subsequently
postponed to November 15th, 1940. After that date the ghetto was
completely closed and its entire area was surrounded by a brick
wall, the right of entry and exit being restricted to the holders of
special passes, issued by the German authorities. All those who left
the ghetto without such a pass became liable to sentence of death,
and it is known that German courts passed such sentences in a large
number of cases.
5. After the isolation of the ghetto, official intercourse with the
outside world was maintained through a special German office known
as "Transferstelle". Owing to totally inadequate supplies of food
for the inhabitants of the ghetto, smuggling on a large scale was
carried on; the Germans themselves participated in this illicit
trading, drawing con-siderable incomes from profits and bribes. The
food rations for the inhabitants of the ghetto amounted to about a
pound of bread per person weekly, with practically nothing else. As
a result, prices in the ghetto were on an average ten times higher
than outside and mortality due to exhaustion, starvation and
disease, particularly during the last two winters, increased on an
unprecedented scale. During the winter 1941-1942 the death rate,
calculated on an annual base, has risen to 13 per cent, and during
the first quarter of 1942 increased still further. Scores of corpses
were found in the streets of the ghetto every day.
6. At the time when the ghetto was established the whole population
was officially stated to amount to 488,000, and in spite of the
appalling death rate it was being main-tained at this figure by the
importation of Jews from Germany and from the occupied countries, as
well as from other parts of Poland.
7. The outbreak of war between Germany and Soviet Russia and the
occupation of the eastern areas of Poland by German troops
considerably increased the numbers of Jews in Germany's power. At
the same time the mass murders of Jews reached such dimensions that,
at first, people refused to give credence to the reports reaching
Warsaw from the Eastern provinces. The reports, however, were
confirmed again and again by reliable witnesses. During the winter
1941-1942 several tens of thousands of Jews were murdered. In the
city of Wilno over 50,000 Jews were reported to have been massacred
and only 12,000 of them remain in the local ghetto. In the city of
Lwow 40,000 were reported murdered; in Rowne 14,000; in Kowel
10,000, and unknown numbers in Stanislawow, Tarnopol, Stryj,
Drohobycz and many other smaller towns. At first the executions
were carried out by shooting; subsequently, however, it is reported
that the Germans applied new methods, such as poison gas, by means
of which the Jewish population was exterminated in Chelm, or
electrocution, for which a camp was organized in Belzec, where in
the course of March and April, 1942, the Jews from the provinces of
Lublin, Lwow and Kielce, amounting to tens of thousands, were
exterminated. Of Lublin's 80,000 Jewish inhabitants only 2,500 still
survive in the city.
8. It has been reliably reported that on the occasion of his visit
to the General Gouvernement of Poland in March, 1942, Himmler issued
an order for the extermination of 50 percent of the Jews in Poland
by the end of that year Herr Himmler's departure the Germans spread
the rumor that the Warsaw ghetto would be liquidated as from April,
1942. This date was subsequently altered to June. Himmler's second
visit to Warsaw in the middle of July 1942, became the signal for
the commencement of the process of liquidation, the horror of which
surpasses anything known in the annals of history.
9. The liquidation of the ghetto was preceded, on July 17th, 1942, by
the registration of all foreign Jews confined there who were then
removed to the Pawiak prison. As from July 20th, 1942, the guarding
of the ghetto was en-trusted to special security battalions, formed
from the scum of several Eastern European countries, while large
forces of German police armed with machine guns and commanded by SS
officers were posted at all the gates leading into the ghetto.
Mobile German police detachments patrolled all the boundaries of the
ghetto day and night.
10. On July 81st, at 11 a.m., German police ears drove up to the
building of the Jewish Council of the ghetto, in Grzybowska Street.
The SS officers ordered the chairman of the Jewish Council, Mr.
Czerniakow, to summon the members of the Council, who were all
arrested on arrival and removed in police cars to the Pawiak prison.
After a few hours' detention the majority of them were allowed to
return to the ghetto. About the same time flying squads of German
police entered the ghetto, breaking into the houses in search of
Jewish intellectuals. The better-dressed Jews found were killed on
the spot, without the police troubling even to identify them. Among
those who were thus killed was a non-Jew, Professor Dr. Raszeja, who
was visiting the ghetto in the course of his medical duties and was
in possession of an official pass. Hundreds of educated Jews were
killed in this way.
11. On the morning of the following day, July 22nd, 1942, the German
police again visited the office of the Jewish Council and summoned
all the members, who had been released from the Pawiak prison the
previous day. On their assembly they were informed that an order had
been issued for the removal of the entire Jewish population of the
Warsaw ghetto and printed instructions to that effect were issued in
he form of posters, the contents of which are reproduced in Annex 1
to this Note. Additional instructions were issued verbally. The
number of people to be removed was first fixed at 6,000 daily. The
persons concerned were to assemble in the hospital wards and grounds
in Stawki Street the patients of which were evacuated forthwith. The
hospital was close to the railway siding. Persons subject to
deportation were to be delivered by the Jewish police not later than
4 p.m. each day. Members of the Council and other hostages were to
answer for the strict fulfillment of the order.
In conformity with German orders, all inmates of Jewish prisons,
old-age pensioners and inmates of other charitable institutions were
to be included in the first contingent.
12. On July 23rd, 1942, at 7 p.m., two German police officers again
visited the offices of the Jewish Council and saw the chairman, Mr.
Czerniakow. After they left him he committed suicide. It is reported
that Mr. Czerniakow did so because the Germans increased the
contingent of the first day to 10,000 persons, to be followed by
7,000 persons on each subsequent day. Mr. Czerniakow was succeeded
in his office by Mr. Lichtenbaum, and on the following day 10,000
persons were actually assembled for deportation, followed by 7,000
persons on each subsequent day. The people affected were either
rounded up haphazardly in the streets or were taken from their
homes.
13. According to the German order of July 22nd, 1942, all Jews
employed in German-owned undertakings, together with their families,
were to be exempt from deportation. This produced acute competition
among the inhabitants of the ghetto to secure employment in such
undertakings, or, failing employment, bogus certificates to that
effect. Large sums of money, running into thousands of Slates, were
being paid for such certificates to the German owners. They did not,
however, save the purchasers from deportation, which was being
carried out without discrimination or identification.
14. The actual process of deportation was carried out with appalling
brutality. At the appointed hour on each day the German police
cordoned off a block of houses selected for clearance, entered the
back yard and fired their guns at random, as a signal for all to
leave their homes and assemble in the yard. Anyone attempting to
escape or to hide was killed on the spot. No attempt was made by the
Germans to keep families together. Wives were torn from their
husbands and children from their parents. Those who appeared frail
or infirm were carried straight to the Jewish cemetery to be killed
and buried there. On the average 50-100 people were disposed of in
this way daily. After the contingent was assembled, the people were
packed forcibly into cattle trucks to the number of 120 in each
truck, which had room for forty. The trucks were then locked and
sealed. The Jews were suffocating for lack of air. The floors of the
trucks were covered with quicklime and chlorine. As far as is known,
the trains were dispatched to three localities -Tremblinka, Belzec
and Sobibor, to what the reports describe as "Extermination camps."
The very method of transport was deliberately calculated to cause
the largest possible number of casualties among the condemned Jews.
It is reported that on arrival in camp the survivors were stripped
naked and killed by various means, including poison gas and
electrocution. The dead were interred in mass graves dug by
machinery.
15. According to all available information, of the 250,000 Jews
deported from the Warsaw ghetto up to September 1st, 1942, only two
small transports, numbering about 4,000 people, are known to have
been sent eastwards in the direction of Brest-Litovsk and
Malachowicze, allegedly to be employed on work behind the front
line. It has not been possible to ascertain whether any of the other
Jews deported from the Warsaw ghetto still survive, and it must be
feared that they have been all put to death.
16. The Jews deported from the Warsaw ghetto so far included in the
first instance all the aged and infirm; a number of the physically
strong have escaped so far, because of their utility as labor power.
All the children from Jewish schools, orphanages and children's
homes were deported, including those from the orphanage in charge of
the celebrated educationist, Dr. Janusz Korczak, who refused to
abandon his charges, although he was given the alternative of
remaining behind.
17. According to the most recent reports, 120,000 ration cards were
distributed in the Warsaw ghetto for the month of September 1942,
while the report also mentions that only 40,000 such cards were to
be distributed for the month of October 1942. The latter figure is
corroborated by informa-tion emanating from the German Employment
Office (Arbeitsamt), which mentioned the number of 40,000 skilled
workmen as those who were to be allowed to remain in a part of the
ghetto, confined to barracks and employed on German war production.
18. The deportations from the Warsaw ghetto were inter-rupted during
five days, between August 2Oth-25th. The German machinery for the
mass slaughter of the Jews was employed during this interval on the
liquidation of other ghettoes in Central Poland, including the towns
of Falenica, Rembertow, Nowy Dwor, Kaluszyn and Minsk Mazowiecki.
19. It is not possible to estimate the exact numbers of Jews who
have been exterminated in Poland since the occupation of the country
by the armed forces of the German Reich. But all the reports agree
that the total number of killed runs into many hundreds of thousands
of innocent victims - men, women and children - and that of the
3,130,000 Jews in Poland before the outbreak of war, over a third
have perished during the last three years.*
[This statement hides the fact that 1,222,000 Polish Jews were
absorbed into the Soviet Union as a result of the October 22, 1939
plebiscite held on the eastern Polish territories.]
20. The Polish population, which itself is suffering the most
grievous afflictions, and of which many millions have been either
deported to Germany as slave labor or evicted from their homes and
lands, deprived of so many of their leaders, who have been cruelly
murdered by the Germans, have repeatedly expressed, through the
underground organizations, their horror of and compassion with the
terrible fate which has befallen their Jewish fellow-countrymen. The
Polish Govern-ment are in possession of information concerning the
assistance which the Polish population is rendering to the Jews. For
obvious reasons no details of these activities can be published at
present.
21. The Polish Government as the representatives of the legitimate
authority on territories in which the Germans are carrying out the
systematic extermination of Polish citizens and of citizens of
Jewish origin of many other European countries consider it their
duty to address themselves to the Governments of the United Nations,
in the confident belief that they will share their opinion as to the
necessity not only of condemning the crimes committed by the Germans
and punishing the criminals, but also of finding means offering the
hope that Germany might be effectively restrained from continuing to
apply her methods of mass extermination.
I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to Your Excellency the
assurances of my high consideration.
L. S. EDWARD RACZYNSKI.

Joint Declaration
Announced Simultaneously on December 17th, 1942, in London, Moscow
and Washington
"The attention of the Governments of Belgium, Czecho-slovakia,
Greece, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, the United
States of America, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland, the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, and Yugoslavia,
and of the French National Com-mittee, has been drawn to numerous
reports from Europe that the German authorities, not content with
denying to persons of Jewish race in all the territories over which
their barbarous rule has been extended the most elementary human
rights, are now carrying into effect Hitler's oft-repeated intention
to exterminate the Jewish people in Europe.
From all the occupied
countries Jews are being transported, in conditions of appalling
horror and brutality, to Eastern Europe. In Poland, which has been
made the principal Nazi slaughterhouse, the Ghettoes established by
the German invaders are being systematically emptied of all Jews,
except a few highly skilled workers required for war indus-tries.
None of those taken away are ever heard of again. The able-bodied
are slowly worked to death in labor camps. The infirm are left to
die of exposure and starvation, or are deliberately massacred in
mass executions. The number of victims of these bloody cruelties is
reckoned in many hundreds of thousands of entirely innocent men,
women, and children.
"The above-mentioned Governments and the French National Committee
condemn in the strongest possible terms this bestial policy of
cold-blooded extermination. They declare that such events can only
strengthen the resolve of all freedom-loving peoples to overthrow
the barbarous Hitlerite tyranny. They reaffirm their solemn
resolution to ensure that those responsible for these crimes shall
not escape retribution, and to press on with the necessary practical
measures to this end."
Extract of Statement made by the Deputy Prime Minister, Mr. St.
Mikolajczyk, on behalf of the Polish Government, November 27, 1942,
at a special meeting of the Polish National Council; and text of
Resolution adopted by the National Council:
The Polish Government, in the fullest understanding of their
responsibilities, not neglecting their duty to inform the world of
the mass murders and bestialities of the Germans in Poland, have
done everything in their power to counteract this terror.
We are fully aware of the fact that the fundamental condition of an
effective counter-action against the German programme which, in
relation to Poland is best expressed by one slogan - TO DESTROY THE
POLISH NATION WIPING OUT THE TRACES OF ITS EXISTENCE - is to shorten
the time of suffering and resistance for the Poles in Poland and to
defeat the enemy quickly.
THAT is why the previous appeals from Poland to open up a second
front and now the appeals to hasten up, at any price, the pace of
the war, are considered by us to be the fundamental principles of
the policy of the Polish Government.
The persecutions of the Jewish minority now in progress in Poland,
constitute, however, a separate page of Polish martyrology.
Himmler's order that 1942 must be the year of liquidation of at
least 50 per cent of Polish Jewry is being carried out with utter
ruthlessness and a barbarity never before seen in world history.
Every one of us knows the details, so I will not go into them
again....
From Poland there comes protest against the murders and
persecutions. The protest is accompanied by cries of pity, sympathy
and utter helplessness of those who have to look on what is
happening there....
In the name of the Polish Government I support this protest of Poles
in Poland and that of the Polish National Council. The Polish
Government defends the interests of all Polish citizens of whatever
religion or nationality they may be, and does it both in the
interests of the state and in the name of humanity and
Christianity....
I can only hope and pray that the protest of the Polish Government
and that of the Polish National Council which represents all the
groups 6f Polish society, will shake the conscience of the world,
will find its way to quarters where decisions speeding up military
action are taken, that it will bring about an intensified help for
those who are still alive, that it will strengthen on the Allied
side the determination to punish the crimes and serve as
a warning to the assassins whose crimes, duly registered, will not
escape a just punishment and who soon will feel the hand of justice
fall heavily on their backs.
After the Declaration of Mr. Mikolajczyk, the Polish National
Council unanimously adopted the following resolution:
The Government of the Polish Republic has brought the last news
about the massacres of the Jewish population in Poland, carried out
systematically by the German occupying authorities, to the attention
of the Allied Governments and of public opinion in Allied countries.
the number of Jews, who have been mur-dered by the Germans in Poland
so far, since September 1939, exceeds 1,000,000.
From the beginning of the conquest of the territories of the
Republic, the bestial occupying power has subjected the Polish
nation to an appalling policy of extermination, to such an extent
that by now the Polish population has been reduced by several
million. Now the occupying power has reached the summit of its
murder-lust and sadism by organizing mass-murders of hun-dreds of
thousands of Jews in Poland, not only the Polish Jews but also the
Jews brought from other countries to Poland with the purpose of
exterminating them. The German murderers have sent to their death
hundreds of thousands of men, women, children and old people. Their
purpose is to enfeeble the Polish nation and completely to
exterminate the Jews in Poland before the end of this year. In the
execution of this plan Adolf Hitler and his henchmen are using the
most appalling tortures.
The Polish Government and the Polish National Council, and the
Polish Nation at home, have often protested against the German
crimes, and announced that a just punishment would be meted out to
these offenders against mankind. Lately the Polish Government has
submitted to the Polish National Council the draft of a law
providing for the punishment of the German criminals.
In the face of the latest German crimes, unparalleled in the history
of mankind, which have been carried out against the Polish nation,
and particularly against the Jewish population of Poland, the Polish
National Council again raises a strong protest and pronounces an
indictment before the whole civilized world.
The Polish National Council solemnly declares:
By its heroic attitude at home the Polish nation is gathering its
strength for the day of just retribution, amidst unspeakable
sufferings.
The Polish National Council appeals to all the Allied nations and to
all the nations now suffering together with the Polish nation under
the German yoke, that they should at once start a common action
against this trampling and profanation of all principles of morality
and humanity by the Germans, and against the extermination of the
Polish nation and other nations, an extermination the most appalling
expression of which is provided by the mass-murders of the Jews in
Poland and in the rest of Europe which Hitler has subjected.
To all those who are suffering and undergoing torture in Poland,
both to Poles and to Jews, to all those who are taking part in the
struggle for liberation and for the preparation of a just
retribution on the German criminals, the Polish National Council
sends words of hope and of unshakeable faith in the recovery of
freedom for all.
THE DAY OF VICTORY AND PUNISHMENT IS APPROACHING
Text of a Broadcast by Count E. Raczynski, Polish Acting Minister of
Foreign Affairs (December 17th, 1942).
I am speaking to you tonight on a subject, the immensity of which I
would like you to realize to the full.
I would like to make you understand how real is the tragedy which is
taking place not so very far from the shores of this island, on the
Continent of Europe - n the soil of Poland.
For more than three years the Germans have consistently done
everything they could to hide from the eyes of the world the
martyrdom of the Polish nation, the like of which has never been
known in the history of humanity. But "when we would keep silence
the very stones will cry out."
After receiving from Poland reports of a further intensification of
the German terror, the Polish Government considered it their duty to
send a note to all interested Governments drawing their attention to
the horror of the situation and reminding them that what Germany is
aiming at is: to reduce the population to virtual slavery and in the
end to exterminate the Polish nation.
More particularly the Polish Government communicated to the
Governments of the United Nations authentic information on the mass
slaughter not only of those Jews whom the Germans overwhelmed in
Poland, but also of the hundreds of thousands of those whom they
have transplanted from other countries and imprisoned in the
Ghettoes, which they have established in our country.
The note states that according to the reports in possession of the
Polish Government, of a total of three million, one hundred and
thirty thousand Polish Jews, more than one-third, has already been
exterminated, and ends with the appeal for "condemning the crimes,
punishing the criminals and devising means offering the hope that
Germany might be effectively restrained from continuing to apply her
methods of mass extermination."
This morning, the Governments of the United Nations of the European
Continent united their voices with those of the Powers m a solemn
declaration, expressing their unshakable determina-tion to cauterize
with red-hot iron the evil which so dangerously infects the German
people.
It is tragic to contemplate that this policy of extermination
applied to the Jews by the German Government is being carried out
with the active help or, at least, support of a considerable section
of the German people, while the remaining part of that people allow
it to pass in silence.
I know that in a totalitarian regime it is not easy to protest, but
the occupied nations nevertheless find the means to manifest their
will and their opposition to the barbarous methods of Germany.
When I think of the German nation, so powerful in its armed might
and owning so gigantic a war machine, and at the same time so
cowardly accepting the destruction of an entire race, the
representatives of which, such as Heine, Mendelssohn and Einstein
contributed so much to the glory of Germany's civilization and, on
the other hand, when I think of my own nation, which itself is being
massacred and nevertheless is capable of such acts of defiance and
compassion as the demolition by Polish workers of a part of the wall
which surrounds the ghetto of Warsaw, then I cannot help thinking
how small is this mighty German nation-and how measureless is its
infamy.
Civilized words and remonstrances are today of no avail where that
nation is concerned. The bloody crimes call out for justice without
mercy, and the assurance that even now they will receive their
answer in ever more telling deeds as the might of the United Nations
grows and as the hour of judgment approaches apace.
