A nationwide anti-Jewish campaign of extreme virulence was launched by the National Christian Party today in connection with the municipal elections to be held on April 16.
Every village and city in Rumania has been flooded by posters blaming Jews for all the world’s ills. The ultra-nationalist press has redoubled the fury of its attacks against Jews.
