Brunettes, both men and women, got the worst of it when they dared to attend a lecture given by Adolf Hitler, leader of the German bigotry forces, at the Berlin City Hall.
Although the city authorities rented the hall to the arrangements committee on the condition that the admission cards this time would not contain the usual legend, “Admission to Jews prohibited,” the Hitlerites combed the hall and ejected by force all dark haired men and women, notwithstanding the fact that they had paid the price of admission. Among those forced to leave the hall were many prominent Christians.
The liberal press criticizes the Berlin police for its failure to take action on this occasion.
