The German Ministry of Defense is disregarding the “Aryan” paragraph of the conscription law and is enrolling youths of Jewish descent, it is reported today in the Neue Weltbuehne, the usually well-informed German publication of Praha.
The publication quotes the testimony of Jewish youths in Germany who, after passing the medical examinations at conscription stations, revealed their “non-Aryan” origin to the officers, but were nevertheless accepted by the officers.
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.
