Austrian police who arrested Franz Landsteiner, head of an illegal terrorist group, found on his person a “black list” of Austrian Jews, as well as explosives and Nazi literature.
It was the intention of Landsteiner’s group to attack those listed in his “black book.” In the interests of security, the police declined to divulge the names of the listed Jews.
