The abolition of missions for the conversion of the Jews, on the ground that they will taint the purity of the Germans, is demanded today by the Union of Nazi clergymen in connection with the forthcoming Church elections.

The leader of the Nazi union, Rev. Hossenfelder, sharply attacks the missions for Jewish conversions and declares: “We see in the Jewish missions grave danger to our nation in that they open the gate for the infusion of foreign blood in our national body.

“We disapprove of Jewish missions in Germany so long as Jews possess citizenship rights because we are thus exposed to the danger of racial bastardization and racial impurification.”

Even the Holy Scriptures have something to say about holy wrath and have prohibited love and marriages between Jews and Germans. This in particular must be forbidden, Rev. Hossenfelder asserts.
