Twelve Jewish students were wounded today, three of them seriously, in a resumption of anti-Semitic rioting by Nationalist students at Warsaw University and the Polytechnic Institute.
The Nationalists blockaded entrances to the school buildings, barring both Jewish students and lecturers. Jews in front of the buildings were attacked with sticks.
Police dispersed the rioters, but made no arrests.
Leaflets urging students to “be brutal and show no mercy” to Jews to “teach them to clear out of Poland,” were distributed by Nationalists in all Warsaw higher schools without interference by the authorities.
