The French people’s indignation at the proposed introduction of the Nurenberg Laws throughout all of France, which was forecast early this week by Louis Darquier de Pellepoix, Vichy Commissioner for Jewish Affairs, was revealed today by the Nazi-controlled Toulouse radio. A large number of letters containing insults and threats have been received by Pellepoix since he announced the new regulations, the broadcast admitted.
