Out of 348 cases of anti-Jewish excesses in the Bialystok district in 1936, referred to recently by Premier Skladkowski in Parliament, persons implicated in only about 40 have been put on trial, Deputy Emil Sommerstein stated last night in the Sejm.
He said that in many cases courts declared Jewish witnesses unreliable. The deputy emphasized that the Government considers the anti-Jewish boycott legal and also that none is punished for insulting the Jewish religion, which is recognized by the State.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
