An anti-shirker campaign was launched here today with posters calling for economic, political and social ostracism for all who fail to sign up for some aspect of the war effort.
The posters, put out by the central Jewish committee engaged in spurring all-out mobilization of the community, called for the following sanctions to be applied against shirkers:
Dismissal from their jobs, ouster from political parties and professional associations and unions, ban on use of buses and other forms of public transportation, no admission to entertainments and refusal of all credits.
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.
