The authorities here have confiscated today’s issue of the Nazi press, which carried appeals for the boycott of Austrian Jews.

Following the example of the German Nazis, the Austrian Nazis had circulated in their press a most detailed appeal calling for a Jewish boycott. The appeal was similar in most respects to that broadcast throughout Germany on the previous night. Imitating the German announcement, the Austrian Nazis also advised Austrians to consult with the so-called Jewish register at the Nazi Brown House, whenever the Jewishness of a shopkeeper was in doubt.
