Germans Have Right to Refuse Jews Food, Lodging, Nazi Organ Says

THE RIGHT OF “ARYANS” TO REFUSE THE SALE OF FOOD OR THE RENTING OF ROOMS TO JEWS WAS EXPRESSLY RECOGNIZED TODAY BY THE NAZI PARTY KORRESPONDENZ, THE HAVAS NEWS AGENCY REPORTED.

“ANY GERMAN,” THE ORGAN SAID, “CAN, IF HE IS SO INCLINED, REFUSE TO SELL TO A JEW ANY FOOD SUPPLIES OR OBJECTS OF COMMON USAGE, OR TO RENT HIM ROOMS TO LIVE IN.”

THE ORGAN ALSO LISTED “LEGAL MEASURES OF EXPULSION” AVAILABLE TO GERMAN MUNICIPALITIES IN DEALING WITH JEWS. NO RESTRICTION MAY BE PLACED ON ANY MERCHANT WHO REFUSES TO SELL HIS GOODS TO JEWS. HE MAY EVEN PUT UP SIGNS TO THIS EFFECT. IN EACH MUNICIPALITY THE POLICE MAY “EXPEL OR PROHIBIT THE RESIDENCE” OF JEWS WHOSE “ATTITUDE CAN TROUBLE THE POPULATION.” IN EACH VILLAGE HOTEL KEEPERS MAY REFUSE LODGINGS TO JEWS. FOR ALL COUNTRY PLACES AND VACATION SPOTS, THE EXCLUSION OF JEWS “IS A DUTY,” THE ORGAN CONCLUDED, “DICTATED BY THE INSTINCT OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND CONCERN FOR PROTECTION OF PRESTIGE AND ECONOMIC INTERESTS.”

(A NUMBER OF BENCHES ALONG THE FASHIONABLE KURFUERSTENDAMM HAVE BEEN RESERVED FOR “NON-ARYANS” WITH PROMINENT YELLOW INSCRIPTIONS, “FOR JEWS ONLY,” THE NEW YORK TIMES REPORTS. SUCH RESERVED SEATS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED FOR SOME TIME IN SEVERAL BERLIN SQUARES AND PARKS. THE OFFICIAL EXPLANATION IS THAT “ARYANS CANNOT BE EXPECTED TO SIT ON THE SAME BENCH WITH JEWS.”)

TEXTIL WOCHE, ORGAN OF THE UNION OF DRAPERY TRADERS, ACCUSED JEWISH TEXTILE DEALERS OF CULTIVATING AMONG GERMANS A LIKING FOR CLOTHES “WHICH ARE NOT TASTEFUL, DO NOT CORRESPONDENT TO GERMAN CHARACTER, BUT ARE COPIES OF FOREIGN FASHIONS AND JEWISH IMPUDENCE.” THE WRITER OF THE ARTICLE, OTTO YOUNG, NAZI DISTRICT ECONOMIC ADVISER, CALLED ON THE POPULATION TO BUY NO GOODS FROM JEWS BECAUSE “EVERY PURCHASE FROM A JEW IS A STAIN ON GERMAN HONOR.”
