Anti-Semitism in Germany is today greater than ever before the war, Dr. Frank Kingdon, American columnist, reports from Paris following a visit to the U.S. zone in Germany.
“In Munich signs of Jewish agencies have been torn down,” he writes in the N.Y. Post. “Insults are hurled at Jews on buses, and German officials have been out-spoken against Jews saying ‘they are in our way.”
Dr. Kingdon brings out in his report that in the town of Memmingen “the old libel of ritualistic use of Christian blood by Jews has been revived. A Jewish family of long residence got into a dispute with their landlady,” he writes.”She tried to put them out and when they would not leave brought the case to court with a bill of particulars.
“One item was that the Jewish family invited her 3-year-old child to a party on Easter and that the child came out light-headed with the mark of an incision on its arm. The Military Government quashed the case but there is still an attempt being made to bring it before a German civil court,” Dr. Kingdon states, “One high official of the Bavarian Government gave me his Judgment that 90 percent of the Judges and 85 percent of the attorneys of Bavaria are Nazis,” he writes.
