A Nazi organization network directed against the Jews in various countries outside of Germany was disclosed here in articles in a number of Berlin newspapers including Adolf Hitler’s Voelkischer Beobachter. The articles were devoted exclusively to the stirring up of anti-Semitic feeling abroad.
Special articles were published on the role of the Jews in Hungary, Denmark, Poland, Holland, Switzerland, Lithuania and other countries adjacent to the Reich where the Nazis expect fertile soil for anti-Jewish agitation among the German-speaking elements of the population.
As if the various articles, each of which purports to be a report on Jewish activity in a particular land, had been written by one, all carry identical allegations that the Jews are deceiving the local non-Jewish population, are spreading communist propaganda and are capturing control of the press. All strongly urge that German Jews be not permitted to enter the countries under discussion.
INVITE JEWISH TOURISTS
At the same time that the press reveals the alleged machinations of Jews abroad, a substantial portion of it, including Der Stuermer, notorious anti-Semitic paper published by Julius Streicher, invites Jews from abroad to visit Germany as tourists. Jews can feel safe in Germany, Der Stuermer declares, listing names of eighteen Jews, who, the paper asserts, are now visiting at Germish, a resort.
With characteristic inconsistency, the same issue of this paper contains several poisonous anti-Semitic articles calling for the driving out of German Jews from all resorts, especially at Deschendorfer-Weiher, near Erlangen, which was to have been renamed Adolfhitlersee. The change in name was held up and is pending because as yet there are no signs posted at the spa prohibiting the entrance of Jews.
