A report that anti-Semitic agitation is rife in the city of Santa Fe, capital of the province of the same name, and that “anti-Jewish propaganda is poisoning the a######” of the city, which has a Jewish population of close to 4,000, was published here today in the leading Jewish newspaper, Die Yiddishe Zeitung.
The paper noted that nearly all the main thoroughfares in the city are plastered with violent anti-Semitic inscriptions the report cited the case of three Jewish girls who attend a Santa Fe high school who were recently ordered by their teacher to stand before their classmates while she castigated them with anti-Semitic remarks.
Asserting that instances of overt anti-Semitism in Santa Fe’s schools are not isolated cases, the newspaper stresses that similar occurrences are taking place frequently in most other cities of the province.
