Jewish students were beaten to-day at the famous Heidelberg University by Hitlerist students, who had been holding a protest demonstration against the action of the authorities in dissolving the students’ committee. The Hitlerists were led by one of the Hitlerist members of the Heidelberg City Council, named Abendroth.

Police who were called into the niversity building to put a stop to the outbreak, used their rubber cudgels on the Hiterists, and drove them out of the University grounds.
