A protest against the anti-Jewish excesses in Roumania and the attitude of the Roumanian government toward the safety of its Jewish citizens was issued yesterday by the Union of Roumanian Jews.
An appeal signed by the Executive Committee of the Union declares that “for four years Roumanian Jews have been attacked and insulted in the universities, theatres and railways. Synagogues and cemeteries were desecrated, Jewish houses and property destroyed. The perpetrators of these crimes have gone unpunished; the damages were not repaid.”
The appeal urges the Roumanian government to take immediate measures to punish the perpetrators and to pay indemnity to the Jewish victims.
