“We want no Jews in our University,” a meeting of Nazi students at the University of Frankfurt decided.
“We desire a pure German culture and we shall see to it that the Jews have no place in our University,” the resolution adopted read.
The resolution was referred to the university administration and was accompanied by a threat that disturbances would follow should the demands be unsatisfied.
