“As early as 1940, the Government Delegate alerted London about the persecution of Jews in Poland. Thereupon, the Polish government-in-exile sent a note on this subject to allied governments (May 3, 1941). Also in 1941, the Polish Ministry of Information in London published a booklet on the persecution of Jews in Poland, entitled ‘Bestiality Unknown in Any Previous Record of History’ and based on information received from occupied Poland. In January 1942, the Ministry issued another publication, ‘The New German Order in Poland. ’ Both publications created a stir throughout the allied world, which after 1941 could no longer plead ignorance of the persecution of Jews in Poland. ” ("The Polish Underground State: A Guide to the Underground, 1939-1945" Stefan Korbonski).
