Ten Jews were injured slightly today by police in Salzburg who used clubs to disperse a Jewish demonstration against the showing of the film “Hamortal Beloved” produced by Veit Harlan, who directed the Nazi-made anti-Semitic film “Jew Suess.” Five of the Jewish demonstrators were arrested, but were later released.

The Jewish communities of Salzburg and Vienna ledged a protest with the Ministry of Interior against the brutal action of the Salzburg police. The Minister of Interior promised an investigation.
