A Hitlerite move to organize Ukrainian minorities everywhere against the Jews is charged in the Vienna press today which declares that anti-Semitic rioting in the city of Czernowitz last night was carried on by Ukrainians instigated and led by Germans. More than a hundred Jews were injured, several seriously, when several hundred rioters looted Czernowitz Jewish shops and attacked Jewish pedestrians, necessitating the calling of troops to restore order.
The disorders, first attributed to followers of Professor Alexander Cuza, notorious Roumanian anti – Semitic leader, are really of a more serious character, Vienna newspapers assert today, since they reveal a Hitlerite program to organize the Ukrainians against the Jews by promising support to the movement for Ukrainian independence.
