...Warsaw
is waiting tensely for an air attack by the Soviets or the
British, in retaliation, which would raise the spirits of the
Jews fighting in the ghetto. The impression is meanwhile
gaining ground that people abroad do not know what is going on
in the Warsaw ghetto. Who is responsible for this? Is it the
man who occupies the position of Delegate or the ZWZ?** We
recall that very minor facts, a hundred times less important
than this, were known in London almost immediately and
broadcast to every part of the world. On the other hand, after
the previous Aktion to liquidate the Jews of Poland, in
which more than a million and a half Jews were lost, this
became known to the world only after the whole Aktion
had been completed....
