Six hundred Christians participated today in a meeting under the auspices of the Central Association of German Citizens of the Jewish Faith in Trebnitz, called to protest against the repeated desecration of synagogues and Jewish cemeteries. The concert hall was completely filled with republican youths carrying the red and gold banner, but the Mayor of the town was absent, against which speakers of the Central Association protested, because among the graves recently desecrated was that of M. Heller, who had given large sums to the municipality for the endowment of a Citizens’ Home.
A resolution was unanimously adopted condemning the desecrations and charging that three Hitlerites had desecrated the local cemetery and synagogue. The meeting called upon the Central government to prevent anti-Jewish incitement.
