There have been repeated incidents of hiding refugee Jews among Poles.

Drawing attention to the 3rd ordinance of October 15, 1941 (YO. BI. GG. P. 595) on the limitation of stay in the General Government, I advise that whoever provides food to refugee Jews or sells food, he will be punished with death.
