Pinchas Osher Litwak, the 17-year old Jewish student who was injured during the anti-Semitic disturbances in Radom on June 13 and 14, died here today of his injuries. The government authorities at Radom have refused to permit Litwak’s body to be brought to Radom for burial, giving as the reason for the refusal the fear of new disturbances during the funeral.
As a result of the action of the Radom officials, Litwak will be buried in Warsaw. He died in a Warsaw hospital to which he was removed after the outbreak.
