A handbook calling for a renewed war on the Jews was issued today for use in the units of the Reich Sports Association.

The revised edition of the sports handbook asserts that not only must sportsmen fight Jews, but they must help to isolate economically non-Jews in Germany who disagree with the policy of persecuting Jews.

The handbook states that it is to be used “for political education in the units of the Reich Sports Association.”

Chapter 69, which is devoted to the Jewish question, is captioned: “Why Sportsmen Must Fight Jewry.” It explains that members of the association must not only fight to rid Germany of “slavery under the Jews” but must also combat all pro-Jewish elements in the Reich.

The Reich Sports Association is the official athletes body which will represent Germany in this Summer’s Olympic games.
