The anti-Semitic weekly “Der Hammer” deals in its latest issue with the strange friendliness of a section of the Evangelist clergy in Germany towards the Jews, and comes to the conclusion that a large number of priests are actually baptized Jews who like “wolves in sheeps’ clothing” have crept into the Christian fold.
“Der Hammer” publishes a list of baptized Jews occupying high positions in the Prussian Consistory, and among other names mentions Josephson, Simsa (Sonnenburg), Isael (Berlin), and Mendelsohn (Meerfeld).
Among the names of a number of priests of supposedly Jewish origin, the weekly includes Heyka (Posen), Lasson (Berlin), Apfeletadt (Thuringia), Raun (Potsdam) Durchstein (Simelsdorf) Magnus (Letschin), Mehlnose (Berlin) and Arnold (Lichtenrade).
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
