by Nazi leaders whose authority has been increased since Hitler’s assumption of the chancellorship, are adding to the difficulties of the Jewish population. An average example is the statement of the Saxon Nazi leader Mutschmann who, in issuing instructions to Nazi functionaries, declared that all the recent governments were only sham governments, of which the Jews, in reality, had pulled the strings. He concluded with the cry, “We shall smash Jewry with its disruptive influence!”
It is no exaggeration to say that the Jewish leaders are in a state of consternation, as it is clear that the Emergency Order which prohibits incitement against religious bodies is not being applied where Jews are concerned.
