NAZI ROWDIES FINED
The higher court at Krefeld today increased the fine that had been imposed on two Nazi rowdies by the police court at Anrath for defacing a Jewish house, and pasting signs all over it bearing insults to the Jews.
The two Nazis pleaded not guilty, contending that they were merely carrying out their official duties as regards the anti-Jewish campaign that had been decreed by Der Fuerer himself. The defacement of the Jewish house, they maintained, was only the outward expression of the Nazi “Weltanschauung.”
The advocate for the Jews, however, pointed out that no individuals in the Third Reich have the right to carry on the fight against the Jews by their own methods. “Hitler alone,” he said, “has the right to determine precisely in what way the Jewish influence in Germany shall be extirpated.”
Karl Holz, right-hand man of Julius Streicher, Germany’s most fanatical Jew-hater, stated in a speech at Dresden today that “Aryans” who happen to be employed by Jews should not be held to blame for the fact that there still are Jewish employers in Germany.
TAILOR MOBBED
The Jewish owner of a tailor shop at Heidelberg was today taken into “protective custody” to save him from the wrath of a Nazi mob.
The mob was incensed with the Jew because he is alleged to have made insulting remarks to an “Aryan” in his employ.
The mob stormed the home of the Jewish tailor and demanded that the honor of the “Aryan” race be avenged for the insult which the Jew is elleged to have heaped upon it.
For the crime of cooling off in a swimming pool in Grantz in the company of a German girl, a Jewish youth was today forced to parade through the streets of Koenigsberg carrying a placard reading: “I Am the Jew Who in Grantz Bathed with a German Girl.”
The boy was followed through the streets by a large mob of enraged Hitler youth, who taunted him and hurled insulting epithets at him. When he finally broke from the crowd and tried to escape the mob beat him up.
