Memorial meetings for the Jewish victims of the Palestine outrages were held in Paris synagogues yesterday. A crowd of 5,000 persons came to the memorial services at one synagogue where Hillel Zlatopolsky, well-known Russian Zionist leader, delivered the main address. There was much crying and hysterics in the gathering. “We are betrayed by the English whom we considered our friends,” the speaker said. Rabbi Herzog and others also addressed the audience.
The Communists attempted to create disorder outside the synagogue but were calmed by the police.
