The movement against the readjustment of the German Jews in agriculture and artisanship is being intensified by Nazi leaders. Numerous provincial papers are demanding that Germans refuse to accept Jewish youths for agricultural and artisan training. The Dusseldorf Volksparole, in a long article declared that “German soil is not for the training of Jewish youths.”
The Jewish press in view of the furor created by the attempt of Jews to enter new occupations, has repeatedly declared that Jews have no intention of depriving Germans of work and insists that the Jews desire chiefly to qualify for work outside of Germany. It also asks why attempts should be made to hinder the readjustment of Jews who are making economic sacrifices to fit into the new scheme of things in Germany without becoming public burdens.
