This detailed report was originally published in 1942 by the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a cry for help to the civilized world. At the time it was written, one million Polish Jews had already been murdered, but there were still two million Jews alive in Poland, although living in desperate circumstances. This report chronicles daily life for Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland; the brutal laws and decrees, the starvation rations, the confiscation of property and deportation to the ghettos. Names of individuals killed and towns where mass executions occurred are listed, along with news of the forced deportations into overcrowded ghettos where starvation and disease were commonplace; the change in execution tactics from shootings to poisoning by gas; Heinrich Himmler's personal involvement in liquidating the Warsaw Ghetto and the final transports to the death camps.
