The promise of the German government, which was internationally broadcast, that more Jewish lawyers would be reinstated, was officially given the lie by the Minister of Justice Kerll, at a mass meeting of lawyers held in the Circus.
Herr Kerll declared that the investigation to determine which of the expelled Jewish lawyers are entitled to readmission to the courts will take years. He also said that he was at one with the Bavarian Minister of Justice, Dr. Hans Frank, in the determination to establish German justice and remove all Jewish lawyers from the courts.
Dr. Frank declared that the Reich decree to investigate the expelled Jewish lawyers is not intended to check the expulsion of Jews. He also published an appeal, asserting that “Germany does not want Jewish lawyers.” “We do not suffer judges from a foreign race, because Judah aims in this manner to reestablish his domination in Germany.” He also urged all court houses to fly the Swastika from their roofs.
