The Nazi Youth organ, “Hilft Mit,” demanded today that private libraries purge their shelves of all books written by Jews.

Under the caption, “Poison in Our Bookcases,” the periodical publishes a list of prominent Jewish writers and counsels its readers to consult the handbook on the Jewish question written by the late Theodor Fritsch, anti-Semitic theoretician.
