Expressing the believe that the Nazis are planning a more intense drive against the Jews within the next few months, Dr. Alice Hamilton, member of the Medical Faculty of Harvard University, declared yesterday that the Hitler campaign against the Jews must be countered “by a carefully planned program in the hands of a strong and united opposition.” Dr. Hamilton, who has just returned from Germany, presented her report before a special meeting of the American Jewish Congress.
“So long as Hitler is in power,” she stated, “I cannot see how anyone can hope that the Jews will be treated better than they are now.” Her conviction that attacks on the Jews will be considerably strengthened is based on observation and contact with German leaders.
The principal concern of the Jewish community is for the young children, she stated, and how to arrange for their emigration from the country. This, she said, should be one of the principal aspects of any program undertaken in behalf of the Jews in Germany.
