While certain factions of the German government are insisting on modification of the anti-Jewish policy, a number of Nazi leaders today issued anti-Jewish statements urging the “Aryan” population to boycott the Jews, asserting that “the Jews must have no opportunity to become citizens of new Germany.”
Addressing a meeting of officials of Karlsruhe District, the Nazi District Commissioner, L. Kramer, complained that “there are too many Nazi members who are not giving as much attention to the Jewish question as it requires.” This, he said, must be combatted.
STOP CITIZENSHIP
“The Jew is the parasite of national life,” Commissioner Kramer stated. “He must not have the opportunity to become a citizen of our new Germany and to hold public office. History tells us that the Jew has always been the disruptive element in our national life.”
Der Steumer, Julius Streicher’s notorious Jew-baiting organ, simultaneously published a severe attack against the Siemens Industrial Concern of Germany, for employing a Jew as its representative in Tangiers. The paper also stated that it was informed by a reliable source in Berne, Switzerland, that there have been some heated discussions among various Berne Jews who reproached the Federation of the Jewish Communities in Switzerland and the Berne Jewish Community for bringing action against the Nazis in connection with the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
“How hard the Jews are working in the Berne trial on the authenticity of the ‘Protocols of the Elders of Zion’ can be seen from the fact that they have formed committees in various points in Europe to obtain special material,” Der Steumer writes. “These committees send their material to both the experts and the council for the accused,” this anti-Semitic publication accuses.
The Voelkischer Beobachter published a long report from Moscow headed, “World Jewry Finances the Jewish Soviet State Biro-Bidjan,” with the subheading, “David’s Star and Soviet Sickle,” which it concludes by asking: “Who will now deny the international collaboration of world Jewry and world Communism, aiming at world conquest and world domination?”
