Adolf Hollaender, a Hungarian Jew, who some years ago became baptised, adopting the name of Alexander Hollosi, has been discovered by a party of Hungarian journalists visiting Munich acting as one of the editors of the chief Hitlerist organ there, the “Voelkischer Beobachter”.

Hollosi came into notoriety about ten years ago, when he published an alleged interview with Chief Rabbi Emanuel Loew of Szegedin, who is now one of the two representatives of the Jewish Faith in the Hungarian Upper Chamber, in which he reported the Rabbi to have made treasonable statements against the Hungarian State, as a result of which Chief Rabbi Loew was kept for some months a prisoner in his home. It was finally proved, however, that Hollosi had invented these statements, and he soon afterwards disappeared from the country.

The Hungarian papers are making a good deal now of his discovery as one of the chief editors of the leading organ of Hitlerism.
