The trial of Jewish kulaks in the Soviet’s campaign against the kulaks is reported from Nikolaev, where the local court sentenced five Jewish colonists of the Nikolaev region, confiscated their property and deported them from the region for three years. The colonists appealed to a higher court, which annulled the sentences.
Complaining against the action of the higher court, the Moscow “Emes,” organ of the Jewish Communists, demands a retrial. At the same time, the “Emes” demands the liquidation of not only the Jewish kulaks from the colonies but also those having anything to do with religious matters, such as rabbis, shochtem and mohels.
