scope and content: The file contains two copies, in German and in French, of a circular letter from the World Jewish Congress reporting about its main events and actions during the months of October and November 1939. They relate to its own international organization and also to political issues concerning the problem of the refugees in Europe, which was submitted to the Intergovernmental Committee for the Refugees. The letters also give information on negotiations for the organization of a rescue operation for the Jews in Poland, on the situation of the population in the territories occupied by the Russians, and on the establishment of a database based on documents and testimonies. The French letter is followed by a report about the political situation in Germany, in the Protectorate of Bohemia-Moravia, in Slovakia and in Poland. Also reported is the situation of the Jews in these countries, including Vienna, Dantzig and the Lublin reserve project, the insufficient Jewish assistance and the persecutions they endure. Three notices aimed to the Jewish community of Moravska Ostrava concerning the relocation in the Lublin region are attached.
