It is impossible to describe the tragedy of the Jews living in the isolated places in the provincial districts of Germany, subjected as they are to Hitlerist boycott agitation, insults, sabotage and actual violence, the speakers stressed at three big mass meetings held here to-night by the Central Union of German Citizens of Jewish Faith, in connection with the session which has just been opened here of the Central Committee of the Union, attended by thousands of provincial delegates.
Dr. Julius Brodnitz, the President of the Central Union, Dr. Ludwig Hollaender, the Director, and Dr. Alfred Wiener, the Syndikus, described the extensive defensive activity conducted by the Central Union.
Dr. Bruno Well, Vice-President of the Union, announced that the leaders of the Central Union have asked Dr. Bruening, the Prime Minister, for an interview in order to acquaint him with the serious danger confronting the Jews of Germany, because of the growing activity of the Hitlerists, and to demand that he should at last make an authoritative declaration condemning the inhuman principles of the Hitlerist movement, in order to make clear the position of the Government to the people in the country and to foreign public opinion, as well as to reassure the loyal Jewish citizens that the Government will protect the principle of their quality of rights.
