The position of Jews in Frankfurt is today even worse than in Nuremberg, the seat of Julius Streicher’s anti-Semitic activity, a survey by a special correspondent of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency discloses.
For the last six months the condition of the Jews has been going from bad to worse. Jews have virtulaly been deprived of every civil and human right here, and are daily subjected to the most humiliating experiences.
The streets of this town are now hung with streamers saying: “Jews Are Not Fellow Citizens.” Large #anners are displayed everywhere flaunting the demand: “Jews Must Go From Frankfurt.”
DRIVE INTENSE
The anti-Semitic campaign is so intensive here, that ninety per cent of the German shops are forced to display signs reading: “This is a German Business.”
Most of the restaurants in this town make their appeal to “Aryan” trade by hanging out signs announcing that “Jews have been thrown out of here,” or “Jews are not admitted here.”
The large hotels are displaying announcements to the effect that “Jews and dogs are not allowed here.”
Jews are not even safe when walking down the streets. Gangs of young Nazi hooligans follow every Jewish pedestrian taunting him with vile epithets, and making his passage impossible. And the Jews do not dare defend themselves against these attacks.
The Jews of this city have also been notified that they may not use the municipal baths, a ban that is now general throughout Germany.
From another Frankfurt in Germany, Frankfurt-am-der-Oder, it is reported today that twenty-five additional names are listed of Jews who are deprived of their citizenship.
