Quiet was fully restored in all sections of Poland today following the new outbreak of anti-Jewish excesses in which two Jews lost their lives, several score were wounded and considerable property was damaged.
All Jewish members of the Polish Parliament, including Senators Rabbi Schorr and Trockenheim, and Deputies Rubinstein, Sommerstein and Minzberg, today called in a body upon Minister of the
Interior Ladislow Raczkiewicz and presented him with evidence of the result of anti-Jewish agitation in various parts of the country.
The delegation of Parliamentarians demanded that the life and property of the Jewish population be given the fullest protection. It also pointed out to the Minister of the Interior the extent to which the anti-Semitic agitation had spread even to the country’s high schools.
Minister Raczkiewicz, stating that he was acquainted with the facts in the situation, declared that he has issued “strong instructions for securing order. I shall not tolerate any anti-Jewish excesses.”
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency was informed that the police today received orders for the suppression of all rioters.
Tomorrow rectors of the high schools will hold a meeting for the purpose of planning concerted measures against rioters and also to plan the reopening of the schools which were closed down when the rioting broke out anew yesterday.
The deaths occurred in Lwow and Pogon, near Sosnoweic. Samuel Rosenberg, a Jewish student at the University of Lwow, died Monday of wounds received in an attack three days ago by Endek students upon Jewish students of the school. In Pogon, Abraham Rosenblum, 14, died yesterday of wounds sustained when a bomb was thrown at the town’s synagogue.
