The Bratislava municipality has approved a proposal to demolish the city’s ghetto section and replace it with a university, technical school and parks, it was reported today from the Slovak capital.
The authorities ordered the central Slovak Jewish organization to provide funds for establishment of a camp for the Jews preliminary to their expulsion from Bratislava and other towns, according to the newspaper Prager Abend.
At the same time, an inspired campaign to force the Czech National Unity Party in the Czech Protectorate to speed up laws for “protection of Czech blood” and other anti-Jewish measures was launched by the Prague press. An article distributed by the Prague Nazi news service complained of excessive delay, demanding further anti-Jewish activities.
Meanwhile, a number of papers attacked the party as being in a state of stagnation and revealed that special “educational” courses were being started to bring about understanding of “the spirit of the new order.” Similar course will be established later for district and local organizations.
