Following the policy of isolating the German Jews to a ghetto life, the Ministry of Press and Propaganda of which Dr. Goebbels is the head ordered today a change in the title of the German Jewish newspaper Central Verein Zeitung, the official organ of the Federation of German Citizens of Jewish faith.
The order instructs the newspaper to eliminate the word “German” from the subtitle of the paper. The subtitle must read “A General Newspaper for Jewry,” instead of “A Journal for Germandom and Jewry,” the order says.
Reports that the entire German press in Pomerania has decided not to accept Jewish advertisements were denied today in the Pommersche Zeitung which appears in Stettin. These reports, the paper says, were nothing but April Fool stories. The non-party newspapers are continuing to accept Jewish advertisements as usual.
In connection with this it was also pointed out today that Goering’s newspaper Essener National Zeitung published an article warmly greeting the Pomeranian newspapers for their alleged ban on Jewish advertisements in their pages.
