The communal leaders, including Robert Strieker, "are under "protective arrest." "What that means "we were taught In 1933. The Jewish masses are "being ieduced to penury, to beggary at one stroke. Violence is "rampant. No one is safe. Even synagogues are being: looted. One of ; our great, one of Our 'llustrious diaspora communities— the community of Herzl'and Freud, of Schnitzler and Beer-Hoffman •—lies in ruins, is stamped into the mire.
