cords of the war criminal trials,

TRY ASSASSINS OF
2M,0M ROMANIAN JEWS
New York (JPS)—The depor-
tation, by the Nazis, of Dutch-
Jewish diamond cutters, and the
confiscation of diamonds from
Jewish and non-Jewish dealers in
Holland, has paralyzed the Ne-
therlands diamond industry, be-
fore the war the largest diamond
industry in the world, Pieter van
Muidjen, secretary of the Nether-
land Diamond Workers Associa-
tion, reports, according to a dis-
patch to the Netherlands Infor-
mation Bureau here. Fifteen hun-
dred to two thousand Jewish
diamond cutters were among the
last Dutch-Jews deported to Po-
land. Only 50 or 60 of them sur-
vived German death camps.
Jewish diamond merchants
were forced to “sell” 30,000 car-
ats to a German diamond trus-
tee. An additional 20,000 carats,
valued at 10,000,000 guilders, were
exported to Germany for “safe'
keeping.”
Many of the diamond work-
ers, such as those of the firms of
Swaap, Rozelaar and DeVriend,
were killed in concentration
camps. Henri Polak, president of
the Netherlands Diamond Work-
ers Association, died in a hos-
pital at Eemnes. after having
been held prisoner for two years
by a Nazi doctor, in an unventi-
lated attic at Wassenaar.
The Netherlands Government
is taking preliminary measures to
restore the Amsterdam diamond
industry.
FIND GERMAN FACTORY
WHICH MADE SOAP
OUT OF CORPSES
New York (JPS)—An experi-
mental laboratory, where the
corpses of German death camp
victims were converted into soap,
has been found, on grounds cov-
ered with hundreds of human
skulls and bones, near Danzig,
M. S. Handler, United Press cor-
respondent, reports from Gdansk,
Poland.
In the basement of the build-
ing were tanks filled with corpses
of victims which were to be
used for experimental purposes.
Along the walls were bins full of
heads of men who had been guil-
lotined. Mr. Handler reports. A
half demented laboratory attend-
ant identified the director of the
experiments as a Professor Span-
ner.
This dispatch confirms pre-
vious reports by the State De-
partment and the World Jewish
Congress that the Nazis used the
corpses of their victims to man-
ufacture soap.
ARAB LEAGUE CHIEF
THREATENS WAR ON
“ZIONIST IMPERIALISM” _ .
Cairo (JPS) — Violent attacks
and threats of bloodshed against
“Zionist imperialism” formed the
keynote of the opening meeting
here of the Arab Leagje’s sub-
committee on economics and agri-
culture. Abdul Rahman Azzam
Bey, secretory general of the
Arab League, in his' opening
speech, called upon the Arab
States to “save. Palestinian land
from the biggest aggression raid
of all history—the raid of Zion-
ist aggression.”
He warned that the Arab
League intends not only “to
protect the interests” of mem-
ber nations, but will also “fight”
for their interests.
He said “the struggle for Pales-
tinian land is a struggle between
‘international Ziopism' and the
inherited right of a thousand
years of an Arab nation,” and
appealed to delegates for “sym-
pathy and kindness” because
“your sister nation has fallen in-
to the claws of Zionist imperial-
ism."
