The events of the last few days have written finis to the equality of German Jews, the “C. V. Zeitung” writes in its editorial. One cannot get past that fact. No devotion, no sacrifice will have any effect now. The blood from which came the wisdom of Solomon and the religious fervor of Isaiah, a law-giver like Moses and the founder and the apostles of Christianity, Maimonides and Spinoza is no longer considered good enough to provide officials for the German nation. The Aryan race theory has become the law of the state. German Jewry disputes its justice, but must bow to authority.
