The Nazi regime will never relent in its application of the “Aryan paragraph” to the Jews of Germany, Minister of the Interior Wilhelm Frick declared at a mass meeting at Chemnitz.
The statement by Frick was a direct reply to resolutions adopted by delegates at last week’s international non-sectarian boycott conference in London.
Among the resolutions was one which pledged to continue the boycott against German products until such time as the government of the Third Reich has withdrawn all laws and decrees against its Jewish citizens and has restored to them their full rights and equality.
This resolution was interpreted by Frick as a “peace offer of international Jewry.”
FRICK BREATHES DEFIANCE
Flatly rejecting this “peace offer,” the Minister of the Interior defied the world-wide boycott movement and in the same breadth denied that Jews are being mistreated in Germany.
“Not a single Jew,” he boomed, “is entitled to complain that he has been unjustly treated in Germany.
“Our view,” Frick explained, “is that Germany is for the Germans and no difficulties will divert us from exerting our efforts in this direction.”
While Frick was indicating the Nazi determination not to be dissuaded from its anti-Jewish policies, still further confirmation that German Jews would continue to be harried came from another official source.
This confirmation came in the form of a renewed press attack upon Jews in the Voelkischer Beobachter. Dr. Alfred Rosenberg Nazi anti-Semitic propagandist, is the author of the second of a series of articles which appears in the Beobachter, the obvious intention of which is to foment further hatred of Jews.
‘COMMUNIST’ JEWS AGAIN
In this chapter, Dr. Rosenberg undertakes to establish a direct connection between Zionism and Communism. Twenty-five years of Zionist activity are interpreted by the propagandist as positive proof of a “conspirative preparation for the world revolution.”
The first of the series, given sensational prominence in Thursday’s edition of the Beobachter, scoffed at the “Protocols” trial which is to be resumed in Berne, Switzerland, on December 15. Dr. Rosenberg announced that neither the concepts nor the policies of the Nazi central publishing unit which issues the Nazi version of the so-called “Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion” will be affected by the trial’s outcome.
Dr. Rosenberg is author of one of the many versions of the “Protocols,” many times proved spurious but sporadically bobbing up to be used as anti-Jewish propaganda.
