Three Jews were arrested today and charged with attacking a band of Nara hooligans. Proof that the Naras attacked the Jewish group, which was made up of Chassidic Chalutzim was ignored by the police who arrested Shalom Piltzer, Shlomo Heitler and Ben Zion Jungmann.
The Chalutzim, who are training for agricultural work in Palestine, were attacked as they left a street car in the Goclaweck suburb. Naras lying in wait for them let loose a barrage of stones injuring several of the Jewish group.
Even the evidence of the street car conductor, who helped the Jews defend themselves against the attack, was completely ignored by the police.
Nara bands have followed a policy laid down for them by the Polish anti-Semitic press, which has headlined each attack by the Naras as an attack by “brutal Jews upon unsuspecting Christians.”
