Dies Committee investigators raided the three-room apartment of Homer Herman Maertz, a pro-Nazi editor, and seized large quantities of pro-Fascist and anti-Semitic literature. Maertz was not at home, and the raiders left with his landlord a subpoena ordering his appearance in Washington before the Dies Committee on un-American activities.
Among the literature were handbills proclaiming: “This is a Jewish, not an American emergency;” several thousand gummed stickers carrying a cartoon showing President Roosevelt surrounded by Jewish advisers; several issues of the Dispatch, a mimeographed pro-Nazi publication bearing Maertz’ name as editor and stickers reading: “Gentile America says long live Lindbergh.”
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.
