Quiet prevails today in Sensburg where on Friday Nazis attacked the Jewish quarter on the ground that the Jews offered protection to an escaping Communist who stabbed a Nazi.
Extra police have been stationed to protect Jewish places of business and Jewish homes and the police department will publish a report of its official investigation showing that the Jews did not protect the Communist who tried to escape through a Jewish store.
This action follows representation made by the Central Union of German Citizens of the Jewish Faith.
