The Jewish winter relief organization disclosed today that it has added 2,000 persons to its rolls in January, making a total for Berlin of 27,000. Of the total, the organization said, a third are in urgent need of clothing.
The report said that the new persons on the rolls are mainly merchants whose businesses were liquidated and Jewish employees dismissed when the firms for which they worked were transferred to “Aryans.”
A drive to oust the Jews from the tobacco industry, which is being conducted in the face of opposition from Economics Minister Hjalmar Schacht, resulted today in the transfer of two large cigarette factories to “Aryans.” They are the Ginsburger factory at Emmingden and the Kahnes-Helmann plant at Mannheim.
