And it is this inhuman strategy that has thus far deported hundreds of thousands of shattered Polish family units and set them down in the blizzardswept plains of the central section. in the region of Kielce and Radom and directly east and south of Warsaw. I used the word "deported." and it has a particularly ugly significance when applied to a people who are being deported within the confines of their own country. We Americans from the Middle West would still technically be within the confines of our own country were we. say. suddenly uprooted and forced into transports destined for Alaska. And that in a similar way approximates this mass expulsion of Polish city dwellers into the Siberian and desolate interior of their own land. These mournful transports that move back and forth across the map of Poland have been running on regular schedules since last September. They are composed mostly of long trains of cattle cars. jammed tightly with famished and hopeless men. women. and children. There has been no letup because of the intense subzero temperatures nor because the flimsy barracks at the end of the line are insufficient to house all these helpless migrants. These sections into which these deportees are being dumped are for the most part sparsely settled and primitive. Since the coming of the exiles the barns and sheds have been packed. and the homes of the natives are crowded to the rafters with exiled men. women. and children. As a physician.
