The Daily Herald reports today from Berlin that a secret letter has been sent out by the German government to all firms in Germany earning over $7,000 yearly, “to make a voluntary monthly contribution of three per cent of their income to further German exports.”
The Nazi district leaders, according to the Daily Herald, sent a special letter to Jewish firms saying that “in view of the flourishing business which they are doing, it is expected that their contributions would be considerably higher than three per cent of income.”
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.
