"Festive night" by Jewish community organization: Frighteningly the ruin towers up in the white moonlight, the torches in the court of the castle throw ghostly shadows on the bare wall. From the courtyard one hears a din of voices. It is the "vanguard" which builds the pile of wood for the big fire. Slowly the individual groups arrive and close the circle around the pile of wood. Finally all are together, also those from Baden and the "Old Blue-White". Now a rustle begins in the brushwood and soon the pile of wood is burning. – The noise has stopped. Some cords of a guitar are to be heard and one song is followed by another. Songs of power and strength, of happiness and optimism. Then suddenly quiet – One of those who founded the Bund ten years ago tells us about that time, about the days of action and misery and how we were victorious nevertheless. – Again the guitar is to be heard, the bodies stand erect when hearing the well known tune and our fighting song storms away: "I have the desire to fight the enemy in the wide fields…". The fire has burnt out, the songs have faded away. The moon is standing in the west. We leave the castle and move to our camps. The younger ones sleep in the tent, we older ones wrap up in blanket and lie down to sleep in the open air. Sleep? Sleep, if one could, but the picture around is too beautiful. Up between the treetops the stars, in the east a wonderful lightness, in the west the fading moon. In the court of the castle around the camp-fire a sleeping group. Two men guard the fire. In the rear of the castle singing is to be heard, it is the "Old Blue-White", after a long time again on a "trip" together. Among them one of us on a holiday from Palestine. Soon we will continue in a sharp march, firmly towards the set direction. In the east the sun has risen.

"Court Room. A splendid Verdict." Judge: Judge of the Higher Regional Court Dr. Fuhrmann. Prosecutor: Dr. Kadecka. Advocate: Dr. Plaschkes. Defendant: A weak 13 year old boy, whose face and behavior are a true proof of the excellent certificates of his school, his master and the representative of the youth court assistance. He admits to having kept his hat on his head while the procession of resurrection passed by. He was on his way home on the Saturday of the Holy Week, heard music and remained standing next to the house where he lives. The procession arrived; he kept his hat on as a religious Jew, which angered someone. The hat was knocked off his head, he put it back again, but could not get away because he was blocked. Oberkommissaer Mosberger certifies that he did not have the impression that the boy intended to disturb the religious service. When he heard the call "Down with the hat" he asked him to take off the hat or to leave. The boy did not answer and desperately held his hat. To protect him, he had him arrested. The prosecutor demanded a proper punishment. The advocate explained that the boy is from a Jewish orthodox family in which it is not permitted to have his head uncovered, even more so when it could be interpreted as homage to another religion. The circumstances did not allow the boy to go away and he surely did not have, according to his religious understanding, the awareness of the offensiveness of his behavior. Verdict: One month arrest with probation of three years. The advocate lodged an appeal and plea of nullity. We won't raise the question of whether the indictment against the boy should have been made. But every judge of any local court would have taken the education of the boy in account and tried to understand his way of thinking. The youth judge Fuhrmann though obviously does not deal with psychology as a matter of principle. He convicts. Why then do we need a youth judge at all?

"How to raise tourist traffic in Austria". A Jewish business man from Vienna who was looking in Friesach/Carinthia for a summer house, was asked by Herr Scheriau who runs the tourist information office, if he was a Semite. When he affirmed this, Herr Scheriau explained to him that Jews, Italians and Czechs are not wanted, in Friesach. After hearing this friendly information the Viennese merchant did not have any choice other than to wait for the next train and travel back home. But during his stay, which lasted only a couple of hours, he had the opportunity to get to know the hospitable attitude of the staunch Carinthians. He was assaulted on the market place as a Jew and even threatened, whereby a representative of the dignitaries of Friesach, namely the physician Dr. Hans Hinrichs, excelled himself with his vulgar coarseness.

The murderer of Konrad Karger, son of Ing. Paul Karger, Second chairman of the "League of Anti-Semites" and treasurer of the "Voelkisch-Antisemitic Combat Committee", has been arrested. Karger and Rudolf Novosat belonged to a national socialist party and to its group "Ordnerwehr". Novosat killed Karger for being a 'traitor'. The police discovered during its investigation a national socialist network of at least two terror groups connected to Munich which planned to kill disagreeable persons on a 'black list'.

A discussion in the Parliament leads to an anti-Semitic outrage. While discussing a proposal urging the government to pass a law fighting sexually transmitted diseases, the German National MP Dr. Ursin blames the Jews from the East for spreading venereal diseases. He demands a medical examination of all 'Ostjuden' living in and entering Austria. Wiener Morgenzeitung, 5 July, p. 1: "When anybody can be blamed for the spread of venereal disease, so is this only the war, praised by Ursin and his political friends as a strengthening "bath of steel" for the people. The syphilis has been carried by the glorious K.U.K. Army into the hinterland, front-line fighters and soldiers brought this bad guest during their vacation into the families; in the communications zone the officers and troops not only infected the population, but also the female auxiliaries with this horrible disease. Herr Ursin who boasts his military experience in base hospitals during the war, knows these consequences of the war and when he uttered yesterday in the Parliament such an infamous accusation, so did he do this against his better medical knowledge and against his human conscience."

Empty holiday resorts in Carinthia. From Klagenfurt it has been written to us: The "Kaerntner Tagespost" bewails bitterly the complete collapse of the Carinthian holiday resorts and blames the leading Viennese newspapers for it. The government is also guilty for the resorts being empty and the "Kaerntner Tagespost" demands it to act forcefully against newspapers which dare to publish "slanderous articles" against the upright Carinthians and their tremendously high pricing systems. Of course, all are to be blamed that the Carinthian landlords can move freely with their Aryan guests in their expensive holiday apartments in this summer, all, but the staunch Carinthians. They are naturally hapless victims of a true persecution led by the bad newspaper against them. The "Kaerntner Tagespost" would not have needed to go so far, because we have pointed out more than once the reason why the resorts in their country are empty. This is a result of the rowdy anti-Semitism, which keeps away the Jewish public on which the Carinthians also depend. Carinthia is a country for which the tourist industry is a major asset. Such a country cannot allow itself to assault tourists, whose race is not liked by the natives, wherever they go. To spoil their stay in the country with anti-Semitic harassment. If the dear "Tagespost" told this to its readers, then Carinthia would also have some tourist industry again.

According to the last will of Herzl not to give speeches at his grave, it became a holy tradition to march past the grave in silence. The celebration, reduced to this walk to the grave, makes an even deeper impression."

Review of the film "Ost und West" with Mali Picon and Jacob Kalisch. E. G. Fried, p. 4f. "But what captured me in this film, was the true Jewish atmosphere which is depicted in picture, mimicry, gestures and sounds in a homogenous way. There is neither the irritating ardor nor shallow sentimentalism of the mimic expression. This must rightly be stressed. The milieu as depicted here, conveys true atmosphere, not annoyance. Even the music, composed mostly from Jewish popular motifs, fits nicely to the atmosphere."

The Unity of Jewish Community in Vienna in danger. Representatives of Agudas Israel (orthodox organization) demand in the meeting of the members of the board of the community for the orthodox community "Adas Yisroel" the same autonomous rights as the Viennese Sephardi community and its own section in the Jewish cemetery. 'Achudus Israel', under the leadership of Rabbi Mayersohn, calls for a protest assembly of the conservative associations against this demand. Represented are, among others, the groups Beth Israel, Achdus Israel, Machsike Hadath, Livias Chen, Emes Vescholaum, Chassidim, Bene Brith, Chesed Shel Emes, Esras Israel, Seudat Sabath, Freundschaft und Bruederlichkeit, Juedische Kleingewerbetreibende, Gemilas Chesed. They pass a resolution in which they strongly protest against the separation of the community initiated by the Schiffschul. The assembly denounces these efforts and denies the Schiffschul, a tiny congregation of Orthodox, the right to represent Viennese Orthodox Jewry. Since the main part of Tora-believing Jews want co-operation with the community in the way of the Tora and condemns separatist aspirations." . Gelb, II, Flossgasse 9.

Mother and Daughter and six tenants in one room. Klara Katz had given notice to her tenant Israel Reiser who has lived in the furnished flat because the room was urgently needed by her, since she has got only one other room in which she, her 15 year old daughter and six tenants live. She is about to marry and in order not to deprive six tenants of their bed, she preferred to give notice only to one. She showed a confirmation from the rabbi of the planned marriage and the groom confirmed that he wishes to marry only if the flat is empty, because he does not want to move into a room, especially not as a husband, where eight people already live. The local court in Leopoldstadt declared the notice valid, because the planned wedding was certified by the confirmation of the rabbi and one cannot expect a married couple to move into a room where six tenants live. The tenant appealed against this verdict with the statement that in a room where eight people already live, a ninth could also live. The court of appeal Berufungssenat (headed by Hofrat Dr. Glaser) did not accept this argument and confirmed the first verdict.

Anti-Semitic uproar at Vienna University. To prevent chaos, only registered students were allowed to enter the Great Hall. After German-Voelkisch students were joined by students from other universities, the Nazis entered the hall and occupied it. The Jewish students were forced to leave the hall. Then the Nazis moved to the University library and also there forced Jewish students to leave the reading room. "This impudent piece of villainy of some academic rowdies who try to hide their lack of brains under a colorful cap is prone to damage even further the diminished reputation of Vienna University as a place of education."
