An open call to self-defense against the Nazis was issued to the Jews of Germany today by the Central Union of German Citizens of the Jewish Faith.
Under the slogan, “War on the Entire Front,” the Central Union invited every Jew in Germany to join the ranks of those giving resistance to the Nazis.
“We will not permit ourselves to be driven into a pale of settlement with clenched teeth. We will fight for every inch of our position,” states the call.
