Berlin correspondents of Swedish daily newspapers report that the Nazi authorities in the German capital are still determined to create a vast “Jewish reservation” in Eastern Europe and are going ahead with detailed plans for such a set-up. They report that these plans are being drawn up by the Department of Jewish Questions in the Ministry for the German-occupied territories of the East, which is headed by Dr. Alfred Rosenberg.
Based on the Nazis avowed aim “of ridding Europe of the Jews,” the Rosenberg project contemplates a huge Jewish-inhabited region enclosed by barbed wire and guarded by Nazi sentries, in which Jews will be completely isolated from the rest of the world and will be exploited to meet the Nazis’ economic needs. Indicating the thoroughness with which Jews are being evicted from the Reich is the report that Frankfort-on-the-Main, which at the time of Hitler’s seizure of power had a Jewish population of about 26,000, is now being made “Judenrein.”
