Seventeen Jews were seriously injured in new anti-Jewish rioting that broke out in several parts of Poland today.
Eleven of them sustained injuries when they were hurled from a speeding train on the Warsaw to Skerniewitz line. Attacks by Nationalist Endeks on Jewish passengers have become increasingly frequent, today’s being the fourth such recorded in the last few days.
Renewed anti-Jewish disorders in Karczev, scene of a number of excesses recently, brought serious injuries to six Jews.
The Warsaw railway station was the scene of another attack when Endek youths fell upon a rabbi, Shloime Berghauser, of Rembertower. His assailants escaped by boarding a moving train.
Meanwhile, the outlawed Nara Party (National Radical) returned to the open war on the Jews, issuing proclamations which urge confiscation of Jewish capital and property in Poland. The proclamations propose that the property be divided among Poles and the capital be used to finance public works.
