New Polish Anti-semitic Organization Boasts of Bombings

May 6, 1938
See Original Daily Bulletin From This Date

existence of a new anti-Semitic terrorist organization known as the National Revolutionary Fight Organization was revealed today.

In a communique sent to right-wing nationalist papers, the group boasts of responsibility for several recent bombings, including the May Day explosion in the Jewish quarter. Believing it to be a dissident body of the national Radical Party, the authorities are expected to take energetic measures for its liquidation.

Police, meanwhile, arrested three Naras for possession of explosives. They are suspected of participating in the May Day bombing. Nahum Boxne, a Jew wounded during the anti-Semitic excesses at Tarnopol several weeks ago, died in a hospital today.

A Bielsko court today sentenced seven members of the Polish Socialist Party to prison terms of six months each for participating in a rout of Nara pickets from Jewish shops in Sosnowiec. Execution of the sentence, however, was postponed for two years.
