An amusing incident resulting from the Nazis’ use of skilled Jewish labor in the Warsaw ghetto is revealed here today.
The German officials some days ago rounded up 1,000 Jewish book-binders and set them to binding copies of “Mein Kampf.” Suddenly, after the Jews had been working on the volumes for several hours, a Nazi officer rushed into the work shops and ordered all the books taken away from the book-binders. He explained later that he was afraid the Jews “might defile the Nazi bible.”
