Nuremberg, most bitterly anti-Semitic city in Germany, yesterday ordered the owners of all Jewish stores there to inscribe their names at the stores’ entrances in letters “no smaller than ten centimetres in order that Germans buying there should not be able to say that they did not know that they were customers in Jewish stores.” The order was issued by municipal authorities.

Nuremberg is the home of Julius Streicher, notorious anti-Semite and editor of the Jew-baiting weekly, Der, Stuermer. Recently this paper and other Franconian papers have resumed the practice of carrying full pages of photographs of “Aryans” buying from Jews. Pickets are still maintained outside Jewish stores. The photographs are taken by the pickets.
