Nazi occupational authorities in Holland, in a radio broadcast today, announced that a number of non-Jews have been arrested in Southern Holland for giving shelter to Jews who were hiding there to escape deportation.
The announcement was accompanied by a warning to the Dutch population that severe punishment awaits those persons giving shelter to Jews. Thirteen Jews were arrested together with the non-Jews who gave them refuge, it was reported.
The Dutch Nazi press reaching here today carries heated articles attacking a music critic named Wilem Mirandolle for having published a book in which he comments favorably on such Jewish composers as Felix Mendelsohn and Max Orbio de Castro, well known in the Netherlands prior to the Nazi invasion. “Such a book, breathing of love for the Jews, should not appear in 1943,” one paper comments bitterly.
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.
