A special meeting of the Representative Assembly of the Berlin Jewish Community should be convoked immediately in order to consider what measures can be taken to provide proper protection for the synagogues and the Jewish population of Berlin, says a resolution submitted to-day by the Jewish People’s Party to the Board of the Berlin Jewish Community.
The State and Municipal authorities should also be called upon to guarantee the protection of the Jewish inhabitants, the resolution urges.
Many of those who suffered physical or material damage in the excesses, including non-Jewish cafe and restaurant owners whose premises were raided by Hitlerists in search of Jews, are bringing actions against the Berlin police for having failed to protect them against attack, by neglecting to take proper precautions when they knew well that the Hitlerists were planning such disturbances.
