Renewed anti-Semitic disturbances broke out in several parts of Roumania today just as the opposition parties announced that when the new elections are held they will make anti-Semitism one of the principal points in their program. Attacks on Jews took place today in a train going from Novosielicz to Czernowitz and in Jassy, the seat of the anti-Semitic student organizations.
Singing anti-Semitic songs and shouting anti-Jewish cries, a gang of Cuzists beset a number of Jewish passengers on the train bound for Czernowitz. When the Jews set up cries the hooligans shouted louder to drown out the Jews’ cries. After dumping the baggage of the Jews from the train they finally pushed the Jews themselves out. Among those more seriously injured were Hirsch Rosenblatt and Moses Lichtig, both of Czernowitz.
In Jassy anti-Semitic demonstrators were routed by a detail of police after they had attacked Jewish passersby near a Liberal political meeting.
