Spokesman for the Jewish community expressed indignation today over the hoisting of the Nazi swastika by Samuel Mordah, a Jewish leader, on the occasion of the royal celebrations.
Mordah, who represented Greek Jewry at the World Jewish Conference in Geneva, raised the Nazi emblem over the Salonica branch office of the Victoria Insurance Company, a German firm, of which he is the local head.
Mordah’s fifteen employes are Jews.
The swastika, now the official German flag, is always displayed on holidays. The firm was obliged, under the laws enacted by the Reichstag Sept. 15, to hoist the flag.
