Reich Propaganda Minister Goebbels’ newspaper Der Angriff, it was reported today from Berlin, has hinted at the possibility of a new pogrom against the Jews of Germany.

Accusing the Jews of conducting an “atrocity whispering campaign,” the newspaper declared the Jewish residents of Berlin’s West End were “again behaving arrogantly,” continuing: “We foretold that the Jews would quickly forget the German people’s expressions of sympathy shown to them last November. We dare to whisper this warning to the Jews and we hope that the whisper will be sufficient.”
