A panic was created among the Jewish population of Nowobrodnow, near Warsaw, when the Jews awoke to find that during the night Polish anti-Semites had painted all the Jewish shops with signs urging the Poles not to buy from Jews and to beat the Jews.
In the morning rowdies distributed anti-Semitic leaflets calling for the confiscation of all Jewish property and urging a complete boycott of all Jewish businesses.
A delegation of Jews immediately intervened with the local authorities and demanded full protection for the Jews.
