The Nazi press today assailed Rudolf Binding, German poet, for having served as chairman of the advisory committee which recommended the work of Dr. Paul Noubauer, Czechoslovakian Jew, for the $20,000 prize for the best work in the German language.
The Essenor National Zeitung, a Nazi Party organ, pointing out that Mr. Binding’s loyalty to the Nazi regime had never been doubted before demanded to know the reason for “this shame.”
“What a joke it must be to the Jewish authors who claim that the Jew is the source of German cultural” the paper declared. “What a triumph for them:”
Mr. Noubauer, 45-year-old editor of the Prager Zeitung in Praha, did not win the prize although he was suggested by the German committee.
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.
