The first world congress of anti-Semites will open in Nuremberg this September under the presidency of Julius Streicher, Nazi commissioner for Franconia, Nuremberg Town Councillor Fink announced today in the Fraenkische Tageszeitung.
“Streicher has undertaken the fight against lying world Jewry, which is already complaining that the house of Israel is burning at all ends,” Fink declared. “The congress at Nuremberg will add fuel so that the fire may burn better.
“Jewish agitation does not bother us in the least, for even without Der Stuermer’s ‘ritual murder’ number, they agitated anyway. If we forget the race question, all our work is futile.
“We know the Jews, Freemasons and Jesuits will leave no stone unturned to force Germany to her knees, but the unified will of a nation of 70,000,000 is unconquerable,” the Nuremberg councillor concluded.
Julius Streicher, editor of the Jew-baiting weekly Der Stuermer, which has aroused universal disgust because of his raking up of ancient ritual murder stories, has for more than fifteen years edited anti-Semitic sheets in Nuremberg.
After the Nazis assumed power, he became one of the most powerful personages in Southern Germany. Under his leadership Nuremberg and Franconia have become notorious for excesses against the Jews. On a number of occasions under the Welmar Republic, Streicher was sentenced to prison terms on charges involving blackmail and degenerate practices.
