The press in the Czech Protectorate has received official instructions to launch a new anti-Jewish campaign, as one of the measures to combat Czech hostility to anti-Semitism, it was reported here today.
Readers are told that the Reich measures the genuineness of the Czech population’s adherence to the “new order” according to their attitude to the Jews.
“Whoever frees himself from the fetters of the old spirit is filled with an anti-Jewish spirit,” the paper Venkov declares. “Anti-Jewish measures must not only be carried out thoroughly, but must be animated by the right spirit. Let us solve the Jewish question in our hearts.”
