A sudden wave of selling that started just before the Bourse closed yesterday reached panic proportions today when it was widely rumored that the long-expected details implementing the Nuremberg anti-Jewish decrees would be either today or tomorrow at the Nazi festival in Munich.
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency was unable to establish whether or not the rumor was based on fact. Details of the so-called “ghetto laws” which the Reichstag passed at Nuremberg Sept. 16, so far as they are known, greatly affect small and large Jewish business enterprises and practically eliminate Jewish doctors and lawyers from practice of their professions.
Today’s issue of Der Angriff, Propaganda Minister Goebbels organ, declares that it is “regrettable that Jews still owning a large number of buildings in Berlin are forcing “Aryan” employes to work for them.”
The paper demands that urgent measures be taken to remedy this situation which it describes as “unbearable not only to ‘Aryan’ tenants but also to ‘Aryan’ building workers.”
