The German Federal Government will protect the rights of the Jewish population by every means at its disposal and if necessary it will not hesitate to use force, General Groener, the Federal Minister of Defence told the deputation of leaders of the Central Union of German Citizens of Jewish Faith and other Jewish representatives who visited him this week, in order to urge on him the need of giving protection to the Jewish population in face of the violent antisemitic agitation of the Hitlerists.
General Groener was full of praise of the war services of the German Jews at the front during the war, and he urged the Central Union to intensify its work of enlightenment of the non-Jewish population as to the real part played by the Jews in the life of the country, which, he said, would be the most effective way of showing how baseless the antisemitic allegations are.
