Nazi newspapers published in France, arriving here today, carry a concerted attack on the Principality of Monaco, the smallest country in the world, which is situated on the Riviera, for giving shelter to Jews escaping from France and for refraining from introducing the Nazi anti-Jewish laws.
The Pariser Zeitung, German-language newspaper published by the Nazis in Paris, says that the Monaco authorities must realize that countries in Europe which do not adopt the Nazi ideology concerning Jews are suspected of sympathizing with the enemies of Germany. The paper charges Monaco with permitting Jewish refugees from France to live in the principality “in great comfort.”
Swiss newspapers report today that the Jews from the part of French Riviera occupied by Italy who have been ordered to move to Megeve, near the Swiss frontier, have been distributed by the Italian authorities there in five hotels, according to their means. They are under the supervision of the Italian police and must pay their own maintenance costs.
