The Tourist Association of Suderode, a health resort in the Harz mountains, has unanimously decided to petition the Town Councilor to prohibit Jewish visitors coming to the town.

There is a Jewish restaurant right at the entrance to the new Kur Park, which at present has ninety guests, the resolution complains.

The Westdeutsche Beobachter of Cologne also complains that Jewish elements are engaging in sports activities in the pleasure parks in Cologne.

“We believe,” the Beobachter writes, “that the authorities responsible for these pleasure places would render a service by prohibiting these people from coming there.

“In the small towns and in the villages the restaurant keepers have found it possible for a long time to prohibit Jews entering their inns. Similar enterprises in the cities must follow their example, and see to it that a German visitor should not have to endure meeting Jewish profiteers and their ladies, out to enjoy themselves. Let the Jews go among Jews and mix with their own people,” the paper says.

“It is time that there was a German law enacted to prevent these Jews mingling with Germans,” it continues. “As for those peasants and farmers who still do business with Jews, let them know that we have a record of them, and that we consider them traitors to the German people. Those who support these criminal elements commit a crime against their own people, and render themselves liable to punishment.”
