An anti-Jewish demonstration was staged in Duesseldorf today in front of Jewish stores as a result of the increased anti-Jewish propaganda carried by the local Nazi press.
The local Nazi newspapers in Duesseldorf directed their propaganda especially against Jewish hotels and kosher restaurants. They expressed indignation that the spas are still including kosher hotels in the lists of accommodations.
