The statement is a lie from beginning to end, Professor Max Liebermann, the great Jewish artist, President of the Berlin Academy of Art, declared to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency here in regard to the allegations published in Deputy Goebbels’ Hitlerist organ “Angriff” and reprinted in other Hitlerist papers that he had in a conversation with a French journalist urged that in the event of a Hitlerist Government, the French should march into Germany to turn it out.
It is true, Professor Liebermann said, that I received a French journalist and showed him my pictures, but I did not speak politics with him, let alone say anything of the kind attributed to me in these reports.
