German police in Warsaw recently rounded up 100 Jews who were being sheltered in the homes of Poles, according to information reaching Polish circles here today. The fate of the Jews, who were probably survivors of the liquidation of the Warsaw ghetto is not known.

The Jews were captured during mass arrests by the Nazis of Poles whom they are using for forced labor to construct fortifications. It is also reported that the prison located within the ruins of the Warsaw ghetto was raided recently by Polish patriots who liberated 15 political prisoners, including leaders of the resistance movement.
