The “Voelkischer Beobachter,” the official organ of the Nazi Party, announces a special investigation into the Jewish question in Rumania, Czechoslovakia and Poland.
As part of this investigation it is now publishing articles from Bucharest on “Jewry in Rumania.” The Nazi paper claims that Jewry has fortified its position in Rumania during the last ten years, in spite of the fact that the Rumanian people and the State are outspokenly anti-Semitic. The reason for strengthening of the Jewish position in Rumania, according to the “Voelkischer Beobachter,” is that there are no individual Jewish efforts in any country, but united efforts by united Jewry in which “one branch of trade is closely connected with the other and will in time achieve a predominant position.”
The anti-Semitic reaction in Rumania, the paper concludes, is older and more deeply rooted than in any other country. The Rumanian regards the Jew as an alien, and while he is ready for an understanding with other foreigners or individuals representatives of the minorities, he sees no possibility of any understanding with the Jews.
