The Reuter News Agency today confirms the report previously made by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that mass arrests have taken place in Germany of Jews who returned to the country, preferring to live under the Nazi regime rather than suffer as refugees in foreign countries.
In Berlin alone about thirty Jews, including women, have been arrested, according to Reuters. They are being kept in the police headquarters as prisoners and will be sent to a concentration camp for “undergoing a special course of spiritual training.”
Elwyn Jones, former president of the Cambridge Union, addressing a meeting in London today, said that he had just returned from Germany and his impression is that terror is not over there as yet.
The concentration camps are still full, Mr. Jones declared. There is a decrease in Nazi enthusiasm, especially in the universities, he said.
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.
