Two Jewish demonstrations, one in Cracow and the other in Lublin, were held during the weekend at funerals of Jews killed by fascist founds operating against the Government and conducting anti-Jewish terror throughout this country.
More than 7,000 Jews participated in the Cracow funeral of four orthodox Jewish messengers who were dragged from a bus and tortured and killed. The bus was on the Modz-Cracow road. The Jewish passengers were en route to Cracow to attend a Mizrachi conference, which was scheduled to open there with the participation of Heshl Farbstein, world Mizrachi leader, who had come to Poland from Palestine for the conference.
In Lublin, the entire Jewish population participated in the funeral of two were killed by fascist guerrillas. A Jewish woman was seriously wounded by the terrorists during attacks on Jewish homes.
The continued murder of Jews by organized fascist bands is keeping the Jews throughout Poland in constant fear for their lives. There is no doubt here that the fascist groups who are conducting the anti-Jewish terror are being financed by Polish elements from abroad interested in undermining the present Government, which is doing its utmost to curb anti-Jewish activities, but which has not succeeded in suppressing the terrorists.
