Renewed attacks on Jews are occurring in Bessarabia where the anti-Semites, members of the Iron Guard, maltreated members of the Jewish population at the summer resorts, Terkarnoli, and Movilla. A few of the ringleaders were arrested by the police.
The shooting of M. Rotstein which was reported yesterday occurred in the village of Senghere, near Baltzi. Another village near Baltzi, Stolsowki, was the scene of anti-Semitic outrages, Jews being beaten, property looted and houses fired. The harvest which had already been gathered was set on fire and several Jews were seriously wounded by revolver shots. M. Gertofski, Jewish merchant, is not expected to live. In other villages Jewish houses were plundered and everything that could be removed was taken by the marauders.
