The Jewish population of Bavaria has decreased by 10,000 since the last census, according to official figures published in the organ of the Federation of Jewish Communities in Bavaria.
A decision of the Ministry of Posts was made public here prohibiting the transmission in the mail of newspaper supplements, catalogues and any other printed matter of Jewish publishers, or leaflets in which books by Jewish authors are advertised.
SCIENCE BOOKS BANNED
This prohibition also applies to scientific works by Jewish authors, it was explained. Advertising agencies were prohibited to enter into any contracts for advertising any such books.
Rabbi Leo Baeck, Chief Rabbi of Germany, addressing a meeting of the committee to facilitate Jewish youth emigration to Palestine, emphasized the difficulties which the Jewish youth is now facing in finding a vocation.
“To be vocationless is worse than to be unemployed,” he said. “All other Jewish activities must retreat into the background in the face of the duty to care for the future of our youth. Those Jews who two years ago committed the mistake of running away in order to find a place where they could live at ease, ceased by that action to be Jews. For Jews never run away.”
