Thirty policemen occupied the Vienna Brown House, headquarters of the Nazis, last night, to protect three Jewish tenants residing in the building, against the Nazi terrorization.
The neighborhood of the Brown House is today almost devoid of Jews, as the majority of the Jews have removed their residences and places of business from the district, since Jewish shoppers avoid it.
Christianity, residing in the building, was endangered by the Nazis who filled the apartment with tear gas, using a keyhole as a funnel.
Several of the Nazis suspected of being implicated in the act, were arrested and will be held for trial.
