A new wave of anti-Semitic inscriptions and swastika smearing has hit a number of Jewish-owned buildings here, it was reported today. Executives of Jewish firms here received anti-Jewish leaflets through the mail while prominent members of the Mexican Jewish community reported receiving threatening letters during the past few days. Anti-Semitic leaflets, answering “Ten Questions” on Jews and Judaism, were sent out by the so-called “League for the Protection of Mexicanism.”
West German Ambassador Walter Hess, meanwhile, invited a delegation of Jews of German origin to meet with him on instructions of Chancellor Konrad Adenauer. He told the group that the Bonn Government was exerting every effort to fight neo-Nazism and called upon the delegation to “forget the past.” The delegation said that Jews cannot forget what the Nazis did to 6,000,000 of their brethren.
