Massacre Of Jews

16 APril
In an organized attack, or pogrom, that began two days ago, Russian peasants have murdered hundreds of Jews in Kishinev, southwestern Russia. The appalling slaughter is an act of revenge for the killing of a Christian boy. Local people suspect that both he, and a girl that went missing last week, were killied by Jews. Police are turning a blind eye while the Jewish population, which makes up almost half the 100.000 inhabitants of the town, is brutally attacked, and homes and busunesses are set on fire and destroyed.
