Anti-Jewish disturbances were renewed this morning at the University of Berlin after several months of comparative peace.
Two hundred Nazi students surrounded the Jewish students in the campus restaurant and employing chairs, tables and glassware as missiles, attacked the Jews. Five Jewish students, including three women students, sustained injuries.
All the Jewish students were thrown out of the campus buildings.
The Nazi students were joined by members of the Nazi Storm Troops who attempted to resist police efforts to disperse them. The Nazi throngs were finally broken up, but not before they had demonstrated and shouted invectives against the Jews. “Perish Judaea!” “Down with von Schleicher !” “Down with Kaehler !” they cried. “We will turn Berlin into a Leipzig !”
Kaehler is Minister of Education of Prussia and has incurred the ire of the Nazi students because of his successful intervention in behalf of Professor Ernst Cohn of Breslau University whose lectures were reinstated last week.
The Rector of Berlin University failed to intervene during the disturbances. A Jewish student delegation submitted a complaint to him.
