The boycott of German goods among Turkish Jews continues to spread. It was given a further stimulus on Friday, which was a general day of protest among all Turkish Jewish communities. The synagogues were crowded and prominent speakers addressed large gatherings regarding the danger facing German Jewry.
Owing to a misunderstanding, several of those taking part in the demonstration here, were arrested, but were immediately released.
The Turkish government is friendly to the protest movement which has also evoked sympathy in the Turkish press.
The German Embassy and the German clubs are being guarded by the authorities in view of the prevalent feeling of hostility.
