Hans Kerrl, Nazi Minister for Church Affairs, was rebuked tonight for questioning the Jewish origin of Jesus Christ, the Associated Press reported from Berlin. Otto Dibelius, retired superintendent of the Evangelical Church Union, said in a letter to Kerrl there must be a clear and frank affirmation by the Church that Jesus indeed was a Jew.
