“The jury which will try Schwartzbard will find itself called upon to condemn the extreme form of anti-Semitism which found its expression in the pogroms which took place in the Ukraine,” Henri Torres, counsel for Schwartzbard, writes in a letter which he has sent to the Union of Jewish Youth here.
“By means of direct testimony,” M. Torres states, “by means of certified documents, we intend to show what terrible sufferings the Jews of the Ukraine had to endure. Today, when the anti-Semitic forces of Eastern Europe are reorganizing and are seeking to start fresh masscres of our brethren, we shall have to ask the jury to intervene and protect and save the Jews in the name of France.”
