Numerous Jews were beaten and many Jews’ houses demolished today in disorders which broke out in the villages of Trzana and Oranizyk in the province of Bialystok.
In Trazana, rioters drove fifteen Jewish families out of the village after destroying their homes. The excesses followed an accident in which a Jewish bicyclist ran over a child, who died of the injuries.
Governor Kireiklis of the Bialystok province ordered the arrest of many members of the outlawed anti-Semitic National Radical Party in the Oranizyk disturbances.
