The determination of the Nazis to sever all connections of German Jewry with the rest of the world was expressed today in a statement by Chancellor Adolf Hitler regarding the aims of the Third Reich made at a conference of Nazi leaders here.
Among the five major aims enumerated, the second is “cutting every international tie whatsoever, which applies not only to Marxism, but equally to the intellectual ties of Jewry.”
The Nazi economic union, acting on the orders of Rudolf Hess, Hitler’s personal deputy in the direction of the Nazi party, today issued official signs for stores which are entitled to be known as “German Establishment,” the text of the sign. Each sign is numbered and carries a swastika framed in a shining, rising sun. The purpose of the signs is to make it possible to distinguish Aryan stores from Jewish, in order to boycott the latter.
