Anti-semitic Slogans Scrawled on Buildings of Principal Streets of Argentine City

A report of renewed anti-Semitic agitation in Rosario, second largest city in Argentina, was published today in “Di Yiddishe Zeitung,” a daily Jewish newspaper. The paper said that anti-Jewish inscriptions appeared on buildings of the city’s principal thoroughfares.

The Zeitung urged the DAIA, central representative body of Argentine Jewry, to intervene with authorities in Rosario to put an end to the anti-Semitic agitation. The newspaper also appealed to the Rosario police chief, Dr. L. Pesenti, to halt the anti-Jewish outbursts, and noted that Dr. Pesenti “is known as a good democrat who certainly cannot wish that anti-Jewish insults should be written on the streets of his city.”
