Henleinists have desecrated an old synagogue, erected in 1273, in Bad Koenigswarth, it was learned today. Many windows of the edifice were smashed and its walls disfigured by paint. Rabbi Goldfinger, who kept the Henleinists from entering the synagogue, has been forced to leave the Sudeten resort city.

It is estimated that 8,000 Jewish refugees from the Sudeten areas are now in Praha.
