ABSTRACT
Therefore we ask the Polish Republic, as the protector and representative of all people living on Polish territory, immediately to take the necessary steps to prevent the annihilation of Polish Jewry. To this end the Polish Republic must exert its infl uence upon the Allied governments and the responsible agents in those countries immediately to apply a policy of reprisal against German citizens . . . [The German government] must know that Germans in the United States and other countries will have to answer now for the bestial extirpation of the Jewish population.
