“The sincerity of the Nazi authorities in their move to prevent further terrorism in Munich can be proven only when action is taken by them against Julius Streicher, the chief instigator of the anti-Jewish outbreaks,” the London Morning Post declares today, commenting on the anti-Jewish riots in Munich.
The London paper discloses that the Jewish shops in Munich suffered in Saturday’s attack more than Jewish firms in Berlin suffered two years ago on the famous “picketing day” of April 1, 1933. Shop windows painted with indelible acids gleamed in letters four and five feet high with the word “Jew.” Half-a-dozen of the most prominent shops attacked include firms which are only 100 yards away from the Bavarian Ministry of Justice.
Among the shops attacked were also some owned by Catholics of Jewish ancestry, the Morning Post reports. The glaziers were busy on Monday throughout the business district, scraping plate glass windows to remove traces of anti-Semitic defacement, the London paper relates.
