real infernos for the Jewish children and places of mental torture, but the Guardian correspondent cites a number of instances of brutal physical attacks against Jewish children by their schoolmates.
One Jewish boy was saved by a non-Jewish lad after being dragged by his schoolmates into a hut, made to kneel on pointed nails and compelled to shout, “Heil Hitler,” as he was being brutally beaten.
Many Jewish children come home from school with the swastika cut into their clothes while little Jewish girls near Hindenburg had their aprons cut into the shape of swastikas.
Even in the kindergartens, little Jewish children aged six and seven are insulted and abused.
The teachers are mostly encouraging the children against the Jewish pupils. Others ignore the attacks on the Jewish children, fearing expulsion if they side with the Jews.
The Guardian correspondent concludes by urging the League of Nations to come to the rescue of the Jewish children or, failing that, he urges some welfare society to take up the case immediately.
