An appeal to the Nazis not to use violence against the Jews was made today, by Dr. Wilhelm Frick, Nazi Minister of Interior, addressing a gathering of 20,000 Nazi leaders in Erfurt.
“The Jewish question is not to be solved by smashing windows,” the Minister said. “We need time for solving this question.”
Under an eight-column headline. “Four Jews Sentenced for High Treason,” Der Angriff, Dr. Goebbels’ newspaper, today revealed that four Jews residing in the Charlottenburg section of Berlin have been convicted for allegedly importing publications from abroad.
CEMETERY DESECRATED
A number of Nazis were arrested today in Oldenburg for desecrating the old Jewish cemetery there on the night of May 28. The vandals destroyed many tombstones, among them that of Peter De Vries, who was a godson of the late Grand Duke Nikolaus of Oldenburg. De Vries was killed during the war and the Grand Duke ordered that his body be removed from the battlefield to the Oldenburg Jewish cemetery.
The Voelkischer Beobachter, the chief Nazi organ, reports that the Stern Conservatory of Music, the largest private conservatory in Berlin, will be “Aryanized” and all the Jewish teachers there will be dismissed.
The demand to “Aryanize” the school came from students, the Nazi paper reports. The school, which is owned by a Jew, has seven Jewish teachers and 72 Aryans on its staff.
The Westdeutscher Beobachter, the most influential Nazi paper in Cologne, announces today that it will publish the names of all “Aryan” women seen in the company of Jews.
