Stormy scenes took place today in the office of the Warsaw rabbinate when exasperated Jewish medical students attempted to demolish the office because the rabbinate failed to supply Jewish corpses to be used in anatomy courses. Police were called and ousted the medical students.
The rabbinate, the students claimed, failed to keep a promise made them a few days ago to supply corpses of indigent Jews for dissection. Jewish students in Polish medical schools are allowed to dissect Jewish bodies only.
