Vienna.—Tliree Catholic monks saying
kaddish (the prayer for the dead) for a
converted Jewish baron today startled a
local synagogue congregation out of its
customary Sabbath equanimity. The
monks entered the synagogue in the mid
dle of the service and stayed to the end
to say the kaddish. Asked for an expla
nation by the elders of the congregation
after the service, the monks told the fol
lowing story. They explained they had
come to say kaddish in accordance with
the terms of the will of the late Baron
Otto von Tausig. The baron, who was
born a Jew, became a convert to Christi
anity and then military adjutant to the
late Emperor. In this capacity he ac
companied the Emperor to the city of
Przemysl where the Jews received them
with the traditional bread and salt.
Among the Jews was a girl with whom
the baron fell in love, but the parents of
the Jewess refused to give their consent
to marriage although the baron agreed to
return secretly to Judaism. As a result
of this the baron became melancholy and
began to lead the life of a recluse. On
his deathbed he willed his entire estate
to an order of Catholic monks who main
tained hospitals and welfare institutions
for those unfortunates who had been re
jected by society. One of the conditions
of his willing the property to the monks
was that every year on the anniversary
of his death they should visit a synagogue
and say kaddish for him.
Today was the anniversary of the
baro’s death and the monks came to the
local synagogue to say the prayer for the
dead.
Moscow.—Charging that in the 13 years
of the Soviet Union’s existence the gov
ernment has never considered the Jewish
question in its full aspects, l)r. Abraham
Bragin, one of the founders of the Rus
sian Jewish colonization movement and
a leader in the Ozet, today criticized the
Central Executive Committee and the
Communist Party itself for its failure to
place the complicated but urgent Jewish
problem on the agenda of any of its
congresses.
Making himself the spokesman for the
non-Communist Jews of Russia, Dr. Bra
gin told the All-Union conference of the
Ozet, the society for settling Jews on the
land, that the government had never offi
cially discussed the matter of Jewish self-
determination in Jewish territory. He
said that when the Jewish Communist
leaders speak of the autonomous Jewish
region they are apologetic while such a
region is an absolute necessity which must
be openly demanded.
While the government had planned the
creation of such a region in Bira Bidjan,
Far Eastern Republic, Dr. Bragin in
sisted that it must be in Crimea. Crimea,
he declared, not only had enough land for
more than 200,000 Jews but also had
great industrial potentialities for tens of
thousands of Jews. The Kertch district
of Crimea alone will produce more metal
in the next seven years than Belgium and
France together, he added.
Addressing the Jewish Communist lead
ers, he recalled that two years ago they
spoke of settling a million Jews in Bira
Bidjan but now, he charged, they have
reduced that number of 50,000 in three
years. “I wonder whether you will ever
settle even 50,OtM) there,” he remarked.
‘‘Personally I don’t believe it,” he said.
A. Merezhin, leader of the Comzet, the
government department for settling the
Jews on the land, who followed Dr. Bra
gin, devoted a good part of his three-hour
address to a discussion of the weak and
strong points of the Comzet’s activities
and to condemnation of those who de
manded the liquidation of the foreign
Jewish relief organizations operating in
Russia.
He said little about Bira Bidjan but
stated that the work of the foreign Jew
ish relief organizations were very helpful.
Merezhin urged that until the completion
of the Five-Year Plan the number of
Jewish industrial workers should be
double that of the Jewish artisans and
that during the same period the entire
amount of land set aside for Jewish settle
ments in Crimea should be settled.
Berlin.—Two national German groups
pledging to uphold the Republic today
opened a vigorous campaign against
Adolph Hitler and his brown-shirted
Fascists in view of the growing danger
of Hitlerite supremacy. Jewish leaders
expressed great satisfaction with this
news. The two organizations that have
opened war on the Nazis with methods
similar to those used by the Nazis are
the youth organization of the Republic
Reichsbanner and the Deutschland-Bund.
In every town and village in Germany
the youth groups of the Reichsbanner are
distributing pamphlets and posters aimed
at counteracting the Hitlerite propaganda.
Speakers are being sent to every Nazis
meeting with a demand for freedom of
speech and if this request is not granted
these meetings will be broken up. The
Reichsbanner groups are also planning
street meetings throughout the country.
The Deutschland-Bund, including in its
membership many prominent people, is
planning a monster mass meeting in the
Sport Palace at which former National
Socialist leaders will reveal the propa
ganda methods of the Hitlerites.
Warsaw.—National, municipal and
Jewish officials headed a large gather
ing in the Yiddish Theatre here yesterday
that celebrated the jubilee of Sholom
Asch, famous novelist and dramatist. The
proesidium of the cabinet council, the
president of the Warsaw municipality
and representatives of the various minis
tries were present.
Asch’s mother received a great ovation
when she greeted the assemblage on be
half of her distinguished son. Represen
tative of the Polish, Yiddish, and Hebrew
authors and journalists, societies as well
as delegates from various Yiddish and
Zionist educational institutions were
present.
