German Jews. seeking to correct the propotion of Jews in the professions by encouraging German Jewish youth to enter agriculture and the handicrafts, were rebuked today by the westdeutscher Boebachter, a Nazi publication, which told them that they were not wanted even in these occupations.
Commenting on the recent statement of the Reichsvertrtung der Deutschen Juden, the all-German Jewish representative body, in which German Jewish youth were agriculture and in artisanship, the paprs warns:
“‘To avoid any mistake, while one German remains unemeployed, this whole question is not real and it can arise only when German unemployment is completely eliminated.
“Even then,” it asserts, “there are only limited opportumites for a livelihood, hardly affording, to the slightest extent, incorporation of alien races in these occupations.”
The Reichsvertretung, as the body most thoroughly representative of all German Jewry, since its inception, has encouraged the guidance of German Jewish youth inot agriculture and craftsmaship instead of into the free professions and has aided organization devoted to this movement and to the reorientation and re-education of adults along these lines.
It has been actuated in this propram by the belief that the majority fo German Jews will have to work out their destiny within germany, making the best of prevailing conditions.
