“I am convinced that it is wrong to believe that the persecution of Jews in Germany will decrease in the near future,” declared Gerhardt Seger, German Socialist leader who recently escaped from a concentration camp, speaking Friday in the Harkness Auditorium of Columbia University.
Jews are sent to concentration camps, he disclosed, to satisfy the personal grievances of Nazi storm troppers and three quarters of German concentration camp prisoners are Jews, although most of them are guilty of no crime. In the camps, he asserted, the Jews are treated worse than other prisoners.
