Slogans openly calling for another Jewish boycott in Germany are reappearing in the Nazi press and once again newspapers here have begun to carry big headlines stating: “Whoever buys from a Jew is a traitor to the German cause.”
Another streamer declares: “Jews are Germany’s misfortune.”
A third banner reads: “Do not patronize Jewish doctors and Jewish lawyers!”
Simultaneously with the appearance of these headlines the Nazi press today carried the text of a leaflet which was printed in German and French with the heading: “French People Awake!” This leaflet allegedly is being distributed all through France, calling for Frenchmen to boycott Jews and refrain from buying any merchandise from Jewish stores.
