The separate registration of Jewish inhabitants in each town of Germany is urged today in the Voelkischer Beobachter, Hitler’s official organ.
“Jews can never become Germans, and their admixture with Germans must be prevented, Therefore separate registration of Jews and those who are married to Jews would be highly in time,” the official mouthpiece of the Nazi party declares.
GHETTO IMPRACTICABLE
The Voelkischer Beobachter finds that “confining Jews again in ghettos is hardly practicable, but keeping a separate record of all the Jews and of all the non-‘Aryans’ is essential.”
The easiest way to recognize a Jew is by his name, the paper suggests. It adds, however, that it is not always possible to tell by the name whether one is a Jew since many Jewish families have been baptized in Germany and have changed their names.
RESORT BIDS JEWS WELCOME
Simultaneously with the suggestion to register all Jews and “non-Aryans” in Germany, foreign correspondents here today received from the government of Hesse, where anti-Jewish propaganda is more highly developed than in any other State, a statement saying that Jewish guests from foreign countries will not be discriminated against in Bad Nauheim, a health resort operated by the State.
“Permit us, as Directorate of the Hessian State Bath of Nauheim to give you the categoric assurance that in the acceptance and treatment of invalids at Nauheim, no kind of distinction is made,” the statement says. “We emphasize that Jewish invalids are treated exactly as all others. We had last season a number of Jewish visitors from various countries, among them some Jewish invalids from Palestine.”
