The praesidium of the Jewish Community of Vienna yesterday submitted to the Attorney General a memorandum protesting against the incitement against the Jews conducted by the Nazi press.
The memorandum refers to the statistics recently published by Nazi organs allegedly revealing how Jews oust Christians from all avenues of livelihood.
The Nazi organs, the Jewish Community asserts, publish the address of Dr. Sigmund Freud, noted psycho analyst, for the purpose of inciting to violence against him.
The memorandum warns the authorities that in tolerating this incitement, they become equally responsible for the misfortune which threatens.
Although the Attorney General has not yet replied to the memorandum, the Nazi press, which has secured a copy of the text, features it, together with the official file number of the Attorney General’s office, with comment gloating over the Nazis success in frightening the Jews.
Consideration speculation has been aroused as to the way the Nazis secured the document from the Attorney General’s office.
