Powers Claim Indemnity for Injured Subjects; Jews Arrange Burial for Desecrated Holy Scrolls; Roumanis Apclogizes to U. S. for Assault on American in Gresswardein Pogrom (Jewish Telegraphic Agency)

Gruesome details are being related of the atrocities committed by the Roumanian students during and after their attacks on the Jewish population in the pogrom ridden cities in Transylvania.

Five young Jewish girls were kidnapped by the students on their return from Oradeamare and carried to the station Predcal, where they were forced to drink whiskey and were assauited by the group. The girls are now in hospital, being treated for venereal diseases. Two five year old Jewish girls were kidnapped by the students in Clauscnburg, taken on the train to Bucharest, were forced to drink whiskey and assaulted.

Three Jews and two Hungarians were fastened with ropes to a running train. After being dragged by the train for fifteen minutes, the ropes broke, hurling the victims to the ground, causing them fatal injuries.

Hundreds of millions of lei is the estimated damage to the Jewish population in the pogrom ridden cities. During the attacks the interests of British, French and Hungarian subjects suffered. In addition to the case of the American. Wilferd N. Keller, demands of indemnity will be presented, it was stated, by the French, British and Hungarian governments. The region has the appearance of a country left in the wake of an enemy’s army. Six synagogues have been despoiled. Torahs desecrated and other Jewish sacred books defiled.

The rabbis of Clausenburg. Grosswardein and other Transylvanian cities have called on the Jewish population to arrange for public funerals of the desecrated Holy Scrolls.
