About three hundred Jews, most of them proprietors of shops, were arrested yesterday in Nuremberg and compelled to parade through the streets of the city before large crowds gathered to watch the spectacle of their Jewish neighbors being humiliated. The arrested men were taken to the Baerenschanz barracks where, it is believed, they are still being confined.

No reason for the mass arrests were given by the storm troopers who carried them out, and doubt was expressed that the central authorities had sanctioned them and the parade which followed.

The press in the vicinity reports that the arrests were made Thursday night when storm troopers surrounded a synagogue where a Jewish meeting was being held, and arrested all those present.
