Further Excesses by Anti-Semitic Student are Reported (Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
An attempt to minimize the anti-Jewish and anti-Hungarian riots was made by the Roumanian news agency which issued a report stating that only “insignificant incidents took place in Oradeamare provoked by Hungarian Communists.” General Moscui restored order, having the full cooperation of the Jewish population, which had provided lodging for the guests and delegates to the Students Congress.
The Roumanian government has suppressed all news concerning the real significance of the riots. Reports received here from Oradeamare state that the Jewish community there remains without a house of worship since both synagogues were demolished by the Roumanian students. Other reports state that the excesses in Oradeamare continued yesterday. Three Jews were killed and many Jewish houses were ransacked.
The students led by girls took the furniture out of Jewish houses and made a bon fire of it in the streets.
