DR. FRIEDRICH S. BRODNITZ, PHYSICIAN WHO ABANDONED HIS PRACTICE IN BERLIN WHEN THE HITLER REGIME TOOK POWER IN ORDER TO DEVOTE ALL HIS ENERGIES TO JEWISH ORGANIZATION WORK, ARRIVED HERE TODAY ON THE FRENCH LINER DE GRASSE TO MAKE HIS PERMANENT HOME IN NEW YORK.
DR. BRODNITZ, IN AN INTERVIEW ON SHIPBOARD WITH A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE JEWISH TELEGRAPHIC AGENCY, DECLARED “SYSTEMATIC LIQUIDATION” WAS THE ONLY OUTLOOK FOR THE JEWS OF GERMANY. HE SAW BURDENS ON THE OLDER GENERATION, WHICH NOW COMPRISES MORE THAN SIXTY PER CENT OF THE TOTAL JEWISH POPULATION LEFT IN GERMANY, INCREASING AS EMIGRATION OF YOUTH CONTINUED.
TIME, DR. BRODNITZ ASSERTED, WAS NOW THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE GERMAN-JEWISH POSITION — TIME TO PERMIT RETRAINING OF YOUTH AND PREPARATION FOR EMIGRATION.
DR. BRODNITZ IN BERLIN WAS CHAIRMAN OF THE EXECUTIVE OF THE UNION OF JEWISH YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS. HE ALSO ACTED AS PRESS CHIEF FOR BOTH THE HILFSVEREIN AND THE REICHSVERTRETUNG.
