Apart from a few exceptions, justifiable in a revolution, no Jew has suffered physical harm in Germany.
That is the sum and substance of the information contained in the latest shipment of Nazi propaganda to this country. As reported in the Jewish Daily Bulletin yesterday, six sacks containing 300 pounds of Nazi propaganda and campaign instruction literature in English and German were seized Tuesday on the North German Lloyd freighter Este, the first major confiscation of Nazi literature by customs officials here.
One of the English publications, a thirty-two page magazine is entitled “Germany’s Fight for Western Civilization.” Throughout there is an attempt to show that “Jewry repaid the German people for most considerate tratment.” by crowding into the large cities and usurping all the major positions in every phase of social and professional activity. Curiously enough most of the statistics cited to prove the various points do not go beyond the year 1925.
After making the assertion that the limitations placed upon Jews in Germany by the “Government of the New Germany” “by no means corresponds to the natural relation of the two sections of the population” and, when fully enforced, will still leave “the Jews in Germany … a privileged minority in the national state,” the magazine goes on to develop its argument with illustrations from each profession.
