(USHMM, 1993. Pg. 23) The New York Times reports from London that the collaborationist Romanian government has offered to move the surviving seventy thousand Jews deported to Transnistria -- thousands of others had already been killed in pogroms and at forced labor -- to safety in Palestine or any other refuge chosen by the Allies. Romania reportedly asks only for payment of transportation costs. Within the next days, British officials reject the plan as blackmail, while the State Department dismisses it as German propaganda. However, the World Jewish Congress representatives in Geneva begins to explore the Romanian offer. (Ibid.) Work Cited USHMM (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum).
