Many preferred to stay in the open one-mile strip between the frontiers but 12,000 made their way into Poland. The Polish Government, threatening retaliation, made representations to Berlin. When negotiations were arranged the deportations halted. Jews on the German side were returned to their homes. Those already in Poland will have to pay their own way back, Nazi officials...
