Records containing speeches by Adolf Hitler are being sold by a German bookshop in Johannesburg. The authorities will be asked to ban them, as they banned similar Hitler records in the past. The speeches appear in a series of documentary records, produced in Lichtenstein. They include such diatribes as Hitler’s “One People, One Nation, One Fuhrer.” It is significant that these records are banned throughout Germany, The South African Jewish Board of Deputies, investigating the matter, said it will make the necessary representations to the authorities. When the Board voiced similar complaints about German recordings which contained extracts from Hitler’s speeches in 1967, the records were banned by the Publications Control Board.
