Northern (N): Poland (NP). Jews

A file of correspondence and reports on Jews in Poland. The file contains advice from the Foreign Office stating that the Polish government was unlikely to interfere with remittances to Polish Jews from abroad; and that the best means of sending help was through the Polish P.K.O. Bank, which would not subject the gifts to the extortionate official exchange rate, and would enable the recipients to sell their gift coupons for money to emigrate to Israel. The file also contains the record of a conversation with a British attendee of the fifteenth anniversary commemoration of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, who reported that many Polish Jews recently released from Soviet prison camps were poor and ill-educated, and that they were being assisted by Jewish organisations in the United States and Israel.
