Picture postcards depicting ritual murder scenes were put on the market by the anti-Semitic Hakenkruezler Party, in preparation for the approaching Passover holidays. The Attorney General of Austria ordered the confiscation of these picture cards as being obscene and unfounded. The Hakenkruezler Party appealed from this decision of the Attorney General to the Court, but the Court today confirmed the confiscation order, stating that in its opinion they accuse the Jews wrongly and agitate the population.
