Anti-Jewish excesses took place here Saturday night. A band of 1,000 Hakenkreuzler, affiliated with the organization of Adolf Hitler, attacked Jewish passersby in the vicinity of the Opera House. Restaurants, hotels and meeting halls were raided by the Hakenkreuzler, who were searching for Jews.

The police finally dispersed the raiders and arrested six of them.
