The official Nazi press today launched an attack against the American Jews, indicating that despite pledges Germany may not have a single Jew on her, teams in the Olympic games this Summer “because no Jew deserves the honor.”
An article appearing in Des Schwarze Korps, organ of Hitler’s black-shirted elite guard and reproduced by the Voelkischer Beobachter, chief Nazi Party organ, asserts that New York is a “city of scoundrels and garter peddlers of the Mosaic faith.”
The newspapers assure their readers that “if we would only agree to grant a few concessions to Jews to sell lemonade at the games we could buy off all the ideals of American Jewry.”
Display cases of Der Stuermer, Julius Streicher’s anti-Semitic newspaper, today featured a photograph of David Ben-Gurion, head of the Palestine Executive of the Jewish Agency and prominent Zionist labor leader, with the caption: “Engaged in working out a new plan of war against the non-Jewish world.”
