The Nazi radio has launched a propaganda campaign against Dr. M. Eherenpreis, Chief Rabbi of Sweden. In a broadcast last night, the Berlin radio station accused the Chief Rabbi of conducting anti-Nazi propaganda in Sweden and of influencing the Swedish press in favor of the United Nations and against Germany.

“Rabbi Eherenpreis is nothing but an agent in the service of the Jewish trinity, Churchill-Weizmann-Roosevelt,” the Nazi broadcaster said. The broadcast concluded with an implied threat to the Swedish government which was urged “to check the activities of the rabbi before they result in deplorable effects.”
