Recent attacks on synagogues in England if allowed to continue will endanger not only British Jews, but all Britons, Prof. Selig Brodet-sky, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews said today, addressing a meeting of the Trades Advisory Council composed of 8,000 Jewish merchants.

“There is in this country today a small group of people outside the general run of British political life, trying to reestablish that fascism which led to the war – the greatest of all tragedies,” Brodetsky said. “Fascism is being definitely preached in this country today. We Jews who live in this country, the center of political and human freedom and liberty, warn the country against it,” he continued. “It may mean life and death to the Jewish people, and it may mean ruin to this country.”
