Chancellor Hitler’s Voelkischer Beobachter today called on Nazis for “a movement to the finish” to oust the Jews from Germany. Simultaneously, all German dailies and weeklies were ordered to publish special supplements devoted to the anti-Jewish campaign.

Announcing that the Jews would be completely eliminated from commerce, the Beobachter declared that the “fight to drive the Jews from Germany will be conducted without quarter being given.”

“The German nation is now facing such critical times that it is imperative to deal with Jewish agitation abroad without fear of favor,” asserted the chief Nazi organ. “The Nazi movement is the defender of the German nation and therefore aims to get rid of the Jews entirely.”

“This fight will be conducted by a movement to the finish, the same as the Jews are conducting their fight, except that our methods are different. We must also achieve victory in the economic fields by getting rid of the old prejudice that our economies system will be broken down if the Jews are eliminated.”
