Jews will not be permitted to sell “hot dogs” and other refreshments at the Olympic games next month, under a police order, revealed today, restricting concessions to persons who are “politically reliable.”
Licenses to vend refreshments will be issued only to those recommended by the Department of Trade and Artisanship of the Nazi Party, the measure states. It is apparently aimed at preventing visitors from making contact with Jews and other “politically unreliable elements.”
Special courses for teaching visitors Nazi theories will open tomorrow with addresses by prominent Nazis, including Hans Hinkel, State Commissar for “non-Aryan” Culture, who will speak on Nazi cultural policies, and Prof. Fischer, director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Anthropology, on racial policy.
An official announcement stated that Prof. Fischer will “explain to foreign participants the high national significance of the much-contested subject of racial science, which, outside of Germany, has been most often wrongly represented to the public.”
