The DAIAS monthly plenary session was told today by its secretary. Dr. Jose Kestelman, that a new surge in anti-Semitism evidenced recently held danger for Argentinean Jewry. Dr. Kestelman referred to an increase in attacks on Jewish institutions, anonymous phone threats to more than 20 Jewish physicians and other professionals, and the general context of Latin American violence. He warned against Jews “getting accustomed” to such manifestations of hatred. The headquarters of Die Yiddische Zeitung, a Jewish newspaper, was car bombed several days ago. There was slight damage reported. Leaflets insulting Jews, found at the scene, were signed by a group called “Guardia Restauradora Nacionalista.” The police are investigating the incident.
