What amazes me is the freedom of press in these years.
I dont know who ruled in Bucharest in 1932 but as far as jews
were concerned there was general consent..
Everything was permitted.
How did they permit this press report ?
Was the" Tag " jewish owned ?

Subject: [Cz-L] Teenager Communists and the Torture!
Czernowitzers…
May Day 1932, Czernowitz police and secret service authotities started to
conduct mass arrests of so-called "communists". But who were in fact those
"communists"? They were teenagers, students, coming from a good home, in the
majority of cases a Jewish one, opposing against the virulent anti-Semitism
and awaking fascism in Romania during the Interwar period.
Which serious crimes did they commit? They gathered in "conspirative
apartments" [owned by their parents], argued for many hours and at the end
of the day agreed on the text for a pamphlet. Then the flyers were typed, so
the typewriters were arrested = confiscated by the police too.
What happend to our teenager communists, while they were imprisoned? They
were humiliated, knocked unconscious and tortured by police officers.
What happened to the torturers? Nothing!
That's a lie or exaggerated? I'm afraid not, as you may learn from "today's"

(http://czernowitzdaily.blogspot.com/), covering on p. 3 three communists
