Tygel Hits Anti-shechita Bill in Radio Address

The Polish Parliament bill which would ban kosher slaughtering was attacked as a “brutal assault upon the religious convictions and the religious practices of the Jewish minority” in a radio address by Z. Tygel, executive director of the American Committee Appeal for the Polish Jews.

He asserted that passage of the bill would “add thousands upon thousands of families to the staggering number of uprooted, disinherited and starving Jews of Poland.” He held that “sinister influences” were working for passage of the proposal, adding that it violates the Polish constitution and the Minority Treaty.
