Plans were announced today for the second anti-Jewish congress, under pseudo-scientific auspices, to be held May 12-14 at Munich University under the presidency of Wilhelm Grau, head of the Department for Jewish Research of the Reichs Institute for the History of New Germany.
Among the featured speakers at the congress will be Dr. Ludwig Bittner, head of the Austrian State Archives, whose topic will be “The Jewish Question and Archives.” (A cable from Vienna reports anti-Nazi circles indignant over the announced intention of a high Austrian official to participate in the congress.)
Other addresses will include “Jewry in Natural Science,” by Dr. Johannes Stark, president of the Physical Technological Reichs Institute in Berlin, and “Biological Problems of the Jewish Question,” by Prof. Otmar Verschuer of Frankfurt. Eleven other lectures on pseudo-philosophical subjects are listed.
The congress will be concluded with a speech by Germany’s high priest of anti-Semitism, Julius Streicher, who will inform the assembled delegates of his practical experiences with Jewry, gained in years of anti-Jewish campaigning.
Another closing speech is scheduled by Walter Frank, president of the Reichs Institute for the History of New Germany, who will give a short talk on “The Jewish Question at German Universities.”
