A Nazi-sponsored showing of the anti-Semitic propaganda film “Jew Suess” in a large Brussels theatre recently precipitated an anti-Nazi riot, it was reported today by Belgian circles here.
The demonstrators within the theatre threw stench bombs, flung about anti-Jewish leaflets which had been distributed to them and shouted “Long Live Free Belgium.” The Nazi authorities unable to quell the disturbance were finally forced to stop the show and clear the theatre.
