A white flag will be flown from Slovakia’s highest mountain on the day that the last group of Jews are expelled from Slovakia, the Guardista, official organ of the anti-Semitic Hlinka Guard, reports.
“This will be a sign that our nation has been liberated from the last Jewish remnant,” the Slovakian paper writes. At the same time the article draws attention to March 25, 1942, the date when the mass-expulsion of Jews from Slovakia was started. “This day will go down in history as a day of the greatest significance. On that day the removal of the Jews from our country began,” the paper declares.
