A big calibre bomb has been found at the entrance to the Jewish cemetery in Herford, in Westphalia, It is assumed that the bomb was placed there in the expectation that it would explode while there would be large numbers of Jews going in to attend a burial.

The Berlin police have arrested Georg Friedrich, a compositor belonging to the Hitlerist Party, who entered a shop in the Frankfurter Strasse in Berlin, and asked the saleswoman whether she was Jewish. When she replied she was, he pulled out a knife and threatened to kill her, shouting: Jews, go to Palestine.
