A graphic illustration of how hard Germany has been hit economically by its anti-Jewish policy can be seen from the fur section of the Lelpzig fair, which opened here yesterday.
Formerly the busiest section of the fair, today the fur trade here has been reduced almost to nothing since Jewish firms are not represented at the fair.
The majority of fur dealers who used to display their wares here have been forced to move from Germany to England since the Jewish boycott against Nazi products started abroad. Great Britain has therefore become the center of the world’s fur trade, instead of Leipzig.
