At Frankfurt the Tietz, Dronken, and other Jewish stores were closed by uniformed Nazis, who picketed the customers and prevented entrance. At Breslau, the Tietz, Wool-worth, and Barasch stores were compelled to close. Similar reports have come in from Dusseldorf, Gladbach, Rheydt, and Wuppertal, where the Tietz, Schocken, and other Jewish stores have suspended business.
At Gotha a band which commenced to attack Jewish shops, left when the regular police arrived.
At Hanover, the house of Professor Lessing, the well-known Jewish philosopher was demolished by Nazis, and his library, including valuable manuscripts, destroyed.
At Breslau, there was a concentrated attack on the law courts, and all Jewish officials were ejected.
Throughout Bavaria, chain stores and small shops owned by Jews, as well as Jewish banks stopped business, either because they were given to understand that it would be advisable to close, or because they fear to open.
