A Jew was severely beaten here when a gang of ationalist pro-Nazis attempted to break up a Communist meeting and later attacked Zionist parley.
The nationalists set up an opposition meeting near the Communists and began singing religious songs and shouting anti-Semitic slogans, after which they attacked members of the audience at the Communist meeting. Beside the severely injured man, several others were also hurt.
The pro-fascists then marched in a body to another meeting hall where the Zionists were meeting and waited outside to attack the Jews as they left. However, the Zionists got wind of the ambush and a group of Jewish youths left the meeting first. After a short battle the nationalists fled, but a Jew who was pursuing them was halted by police. A number of isolated attacks on Jewish youths have taken place in the suburbs recently.
