Der Stuermer, bitter anti-Semitic weekly edited by Julius Streicher, today notified all subscribers it will resume publication on August 18 and will “carry on the fight against all Judah as usual.”
Herr Streicher’s paper was suspended for two weeks by the Nazi government, not for its continual incitement against the Jews, but for having declared that the venerable Czechoslovakian president, Thomas G. Masaryk, was a half Jew and was therefore furthering Jewish plots. An attack on the head of a foreign government was considered reason enough to halt the publication of Der Stuermer for a short period.
Der Stuermer is published in Nuremberg, headquarters of Herr Streicher, who is Nazi commissioner for Franconia, where the worst excesses against the German Jews occurred.
