Roumanian Jewry Will Be Wiped out if Terror Continues, Leader Says

(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)

A heart reading appeal of Roumanian Jews to world public opinion was made in a letter addressed by a prominent Jewish leader of Bucharest to a well known Viennese physician.

In this letter the Bucharest leader depicts the Jewish situation in Roumania as extremely desperate. The writer of the letter asks: “Has European Jewry no conscience? Will it fail to organize mass action against the inferno of the Jews in Roumania? We are literally without protection of the law. No one is certain as to his safety, particularly the Jewish youth. Even Jewish girl students are publicly molested. Only the American press truthfully reports the terrible situation. The denials of the Roumanian government are nothing but lies. Please appeal to Jewish leaders throughout the world to save us, otherwise, Roumanian Jewry will be wiped out.”
