“Fight Anti-Semitism” is one of the slogans for the May Day celebrations adopted by the Central Committee of the Communist Party.
An incredible incident is related by the “Komsomolskaya Pravda,” Communist youth paper. Two Jewish children were infected by a contagious disease by non-Jewish neighbors who did not want the children’s parents to continue living in the apartment house. The person, a girl, guilty of causing the infection was arrested and proceedings were started by the authorities against the neighbors who instigated the crime.
