Nara anti-Semitic activities are continuing all over Poland despite the outlawing of the party, police revealed today when they announced the arrest of forty-two Naras, including the editors, printers and vendors of the illegal Nara organ, Sztafeta.
Police also confiscated 8,000 copies of the latest issue of the anti-Semitic paper and a list of 10,000 subscribers. A minute search of the illegal printing plant operated by the Naras was carried out by the police.
The Nara party, National Radicals who split off from the older Endek anti-Semitic party, saying that the latter were not active enough against the Jews, was outlawed after the murder of Minister of the Interior Colonel Pieracki.
Before they were outlawed, the Naras managed to carry out a series of nation-wide attacks against the Jews, killing many and wounding hundreds.
During the height of the Nara attacks, Jews were afraid to venture out of their homes after dark. When the Naras found that open attacks were being met with stout resistance by the Jews, they resorted to ambushing parties of Jews returning from work.
