Demonstrating their contempt for the anti-Jewish propaganda which the Nazis are conducting in the Netherlands, crowds of Hollanders flock to the theatres where the Nazi anti-Jewish film “The Eternal Jew” is being shown under orders from Berlin, and sit through the entire performance with their backs to the screen, it was reliably reported here today.

A report reaching here from Amsterdam states that the Nazi authorities in Holland this week issued an order compelling all Jews there to wear a yellow Star of David over their heart. The order specified that the special anti-Jewish war regulations now prevailing in Germany, subjecting Jews to a curfew and prohibiting them from traveling from one city to another, are automatically to be applied to the Jews of Holland.
