Fifty thousand Jews from Germany and Czechoslovakia have been thrown into the Austro Hungarian fortress at Terezin and several thousand who are 111 or acts are charged with "criminal In underground dungeons where they are dying like flies, a Czech government spokesman said. Everyone sleeps on damp floors and each is given only enough food to keep alive. y "All hope for them has been abandoned, the spokesman said, adding that Jewish lesders in the Czech protectorate had received demands from the Nazis to prepare 15,000 other Jews for deportation. The spokesman said the Germans had launched a campaign to exterminate Jews from the protectorate and that of 40,000 Jews formerly in Prague only 15,000 now remain. The Jews at Terezin are said to include 7,000 young men and women who are forced to work on farms or build barrseks. Outside fortress walls thousands of other Jews live in concentrstion camps where conditions are said to be "horrible. A European observer said the Germans planned to exterminate the Jews, not only in Europe but throughout the world. "Extermination is the word, he said, with a little torture thrown in to gratify the higher nature of the metaphysical and mystical Germans. He declared the Nazis had executed 2,000,000 Jews in the past three years and that hundreds of thousands of others had been deported from Germany, Poland, Czechoslovak and other European countries. j LONDON.
