explains that, to understand the Nazi action towards the Jews, it is necessary to bear in mind that “when the tenets of the Nazi creed and economic necessities come in conflict, the former takes precedence over the latter.”
The report in general retells and confirms the facts of well-known Nazi anti-Jewish acts, such as the establishment of Nazi cells in companies and private businesses. The cells, although they do not possess legal power, their main duty being political, often make representations regarding Jewish directors or business relations with Jewish firms, and although legal compulsion to accede to their wishes, is non-existent, the report states that it is advisable in the interests of peace to meet them as far as possible.
Jewish directors and officials, the report further confirms, have been replaced by Nazis in all chambers of commerce, stock exchanges, industrial federations, the iron and steel industries, retail and wholesale trades, et cetera.
Since the figures in the report mainly compare 1932 activities with those of previous activities, an analysis of it to reveal the effects of the Jewish anti-Nazi boycott in individual countries or branches of trade and industry, is impossible.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
