- Story Text: A torchlight parade, in protest against Nazi outbursts, was organised by various political parties in Saarbrucken, in the industrial Saar, West Germany, Jan 16. Mainly middle-aged people, with a sprinkling of youth, the marchers carried banners with slogans demanding sterner punishment for Nazis, and "One Hitler's already one too many"; "We haven't forgotten Anne Frank".
At a memorial to concentration victims, a wreath was laid and the torches made into a bonfire.
The protest was also against the German Reich Party, whose meetings for this weekend in the Saar were banned.
London was scene of another anti-Nazism parade, Jan 17. Organised by the Jewish ex-servicemen's association, thousands of Non-Jews joined the procession's ranks, swelling the total of non-Jews joined the procession's ranks, swelling the total number to above 30,000. From Marble Arch they marched to the German Embassy to deliver a letter of protest.
