The Daily Telegraph reported today from Vienna that recent arrests of Jews were for alleged conspiracy against the State, and also that the books of many arrested Jewish business men were found unsatisfactory by Government experts. The paper declared that many of the more than 100 Jewish physicians recently arrested were charged with performing illegal operations.
According to the Daily Herald, Austrian maids working in England, when they applied for renewal of their visas at the German consulate, were threatened with permanent exile from their homeland if they continued to work for Jews.
Berlin reports quoted Der Stuermer, Julius Streicher’s rabidly anti-Semitic weekly, as rebuking the Bishop of Chichester for his recent attack on Nazi persecution of Jews. The paper said: “Is the Bishop aware of the rules of the Talmud obligating Jews to drive out the Christian clergy and murder them.” The Stuermer began to publish a “London letter” with the names and addresses of Jews in England who were punished by courts, with comments suggesting that their behavior was characteristically Jewish.
