The charge that the Free German Movement was established in New York “by Communists and Jews” and that this movement is directed “against my brother” Otto Strasser, who was one of the early leaders of the Nazi party in Germany and is now in Canada as the head of the Black Front, is made by Father Bernard Strasser, a brother of Otto, who is now in this country.
This charge is made in a letter published in the New York German-language publication “Aurora and Christliche Woche,” in which the German priest also attacks Prince Lowenstein for participating in the anti-Hitler movement in America. “It is regretful that the Jewish-maintained Prince Lowenstein is supporting the movement as a “Catholic leader,” Father Strasser writes.
