More than 10,000 German children, members of the Nazi Youth organization, gave their formal oath eternally “to hate the Jews,” at the Summer solstice festival last night on Hesenburg Mountain in Franconia.
The pledge was given to Julius Streicher, overlord of Franconia, and to General Goering, member of the Nazi Cabinet.
Earlier in the afternoon Goering addressed a meeting of more than 200,000 Nazis here, the capital of Franconia, at which he told the audience to follow the anti-Semitic policy of Julius Streicher which is fully approved by the government.
“The next war must be a crusade against the Jews,” Herr Streicher said, addressing the youth festival in the evening. “The fight against the Jews must be as dear to you as your religious faith,” he emphasized to his youthful audience.
