New anti-Semitic excesses were reported today from various parts of Rumania, principally in the province of Bukovina where Jews were brutally attacked on a train that had stopped off at the city of Cicovul.
Rumanian newspapers, describing the disturbances, report a gang of Jew-Baiters raided the train when it came to a halt in the station and beat up all passengers of Jewish appearance.
The hoodlums used cudgels and knuckle-dusters on their victims, the reports stated.
According to the newspapers, the station-master of the depot is one of the principal anti-Semitic agitators in the district.
Groups of young Nazis, members of the German community in Radauti, ranged through the Jewish quarter of the city smashing windows of practically every home in the district.
Metropolitan Nicodem, head of the Greek orthodox church in the province of Moldavia, last night attended a family anniversary gathering in Jassy at the home of Prof. Alexander Cuza, supreme chief of the anti-Semitic National Christian Party. He warmly praised the notorious anti-Semite, declaring his activities were “useful to the country and nation.” The Metropolitan then visited the Cuzist headquarters in Jassy.
