Raczyński's note was sent on December 10, 1942, to the governments of the signatory countries of the United Nations Declaration. It was personally addressed to other foreign ministers.[4][5] On behalf of the Polish government, Raczyński informed the governments of all Allied countries about the desperate situation of Jews in the German-occupied Poland and the unfolding genocide being carried out by the Germans, calling for help.[6][7][8] Contents{{quote|The Polish Government — as the representatives of the legitimate authority on territories in which the Germans are carrying out the systematic extermination of Polish citizens and of citizens of Jewish origin of many other European countries — consider it their duty to address themselves to the Governments of the United Nations, in the confident belief that they will share their opinion as to the necessity not only of condemning the crimes committed by the Germans and punishing the criminals, but also of finding means offering the hope that Germany might be effectively restrained from continuing to apply her methods of mass extermination.|Edward Bernard Raczyński (1891–1993) Note to United Nations, 10 December 1942.[9]}}The note was written on nine pages of the typescript.
