Foreign Minister Anthony Eden has just confirmed In the House of Commons the fact that the customary Nazi massacres and deportations to death camps are under way.

The Jewish population of Hungary at the outbreak of the war was placed at 444,567. How many Jews sought refuge there from Germany, Austria, and conquered countries is not known, but the totai must have reached 100,000 or more. Hungary Is said to have had the last organized Jewish community in Europe. As the Allied ring of Iron closes in, the Nazis seem determined to complete their massacre of the Jews of Europe. Swiss sources, apparently well authenticated, j-eport just revealed information of two secret "model extermination camps for Jews" at Auschwitz and Birkenau, in Upper Silesia.

These camp's are reported to have Been in operation cr two years, during which the execution and "disposal" of 1,175,000 Jews were effected without a hitch." It is to these camps that the Hungarian Jews are being deported, 30 per cent "losses" occurring en route. Information of these two secret camps Is given in a report by the Rev. Paul Vogt, of Berne, head of an Internationally known refugee organization. The barbarism with which the Jews are killed would be unbelievable were It not for the fact that similar practices, well authenticated and even boasted of by the Nazis themselves, have occurred throughout the Nazi regime. It requires many Germans to perpetrate all of the many Nazi Crimes that the effort to differentiate between the responsibility of leaders and people falls flat.
