An appeal to Roumanian students to secure the release of their anti-Semitic colleagues who were arrested for participation in the anti-Jewish excesses in Clausenburg was published by the newspaper “Cuvintul.”
The paper declares that the arrested students have gone on a hunger strike. If the students do not act quickly, they will soon be acting for corpses and “Jews will rejoice and scoff at Roumanian students. If the law will not give us justice,” the paper continues, “we will show that Roumanian students can obtain justice, even if it is a fight to the last man.”
