The Jewish students’ home known as “Bavaria, ” in this old university town, was occupied by Nazis today in the “interests of public peace and safety.” An announcement in the Nazi press today states that the occupation of the building was carried out at the order of the Nazi leader Ziegler, who excused the action on the pretext that irresponsible acts against the Jewish group at the beginning of the new term were feared and that the action was necessary to prevent disorders.
A Nazi patrol is now stationed in front of the home.
