The Royal Norwegian Govetn-ment's press attache in Canada has supplied the Review with information from a letter smuggled from Norway and primed in the Swedish newspaper Ny Dag, in which a seaman describe? how a group of Norwegian, Jews were deported across the sea to Germany. This is his story:
The Jews were taken in lorries or, In the case of very sick people, in buses down to the harbor near Filipstad in Oslo. The Germans and Norwegian Nazi guards prevented all leave - taking with friends, and the Jews Were immediately driven on board where
they were given numbered disw. Embarkation wer.t on from seven in the morning to one o'clock the following night. The Jews were taken in groups down Into the two foremost holds, where straw mattresses were spread out on the floor. Space was exceptionally confined because the number of Jews was 200 more than had been expected. The youngest was a IKtle boy of six or seven; the oldest was over 80.
In the morning, the ship, S.S., "Kiel," sailed. The sea was rough and conditions in the holds, which had already become very bad during the night, grew far worse. There were very few of the prisoners who did not become seasick, and the smell was Indescribable. The extremely inadequate toilet arrangements were soon unusable. Only in exceptional circumstances was anyone allowed on deck.'
Fantastic scenes were, enacted. One young Jew tried take his life by cutting an artery with the lid. of a tin can; another one tried to jump overboard. A pregnant woman gave birth to a child down in the hold, and was allowed, after trying to kill the child, to move up into midships. The food was the most meagre Imaginable and consisted aH the time of soup and a dry piece of bvsad twice * day. The
