| | + | * As the U.N. Assembly was held in Paris, French fascists collaborated with Arabs in disseminating Hitlerist propaganda flooding the hotels and driving vehicles through streets with loudspeakers such as the slogans: "Hitler was [sic] right"; "Death to the [sic] Jews, send them into the Crematoria."<ref>The Sydney Jewish News, 15 October 1948.[https://www.nli.org.il/en/newspapers/sydneyjn/1948/10/15/01/article/2 French Fascists Collaborate with Arabs] |
| | + | PARIS, (Jewish World News). Taking advantage of the U.N. Assembly as a ready field for their anti-semitic propaganda, French Fascists are closely co-operating with Arab students in Paris in an intensive drive of anti-Jewish defamation by inundating the hotels, which house the U.N. delegates, with a veritable flood of anti-Jewish literature in English, Spanish and French. Hitler’s "Mein Kampf" in a French translation, is now freely on sale in French bookshops at the price of 40 Francs a copy. |
