All Jewish newspapers from other countries of Europe, America and Palestine, no matter what language in which they are printed, are prohibited from circulation in Germany as a result of an order issued yesterday. Libraries of Jewish communities were ordered to remove all foreign Jewish periodicals from their rooms.
This order is in line with scores of others aimed to break up all contact among the German Jews and to keep them from having any knowledge of what is going on in their behalf in the outer world. It has been only through perusal of newspapers printed outside of Germany that the Jews of the Reich were able to obtain a comprehensive picture of what has been going on throughout the country beyond the confines of their own experience.
