Official measures for the ousting of Jewish traders were announced today in the publication of the small traders, exhibitors and market vendors. The paper quotes the official Nazi management resolutions that Jews must be radically uprooted from markets and fairs except the certified Jewish war veterans, who are to receive different treatment, and points out that the process of ousting Jews is already in full swing.
It reports that a Jewish woman who has had a market booth in the town of Konstanz for years has been informed that, in the future, she can sell only to Jews, while in Darmstadt Jewish applications for trading visas were returned with the remark that “Jewish traders cannot be allotted stalls in our markets”.
At Frankfurt, the Jews have been expelled since April. Regulations of the central authorities governing the matter are as yet unavailable and it is not yet known whether the Nazi traders are acting independently or with government sanction.
