An audience of only 200 heard Emma Goldman talk on the causes of the decline of German culture in the big Lyric Theatre. It was estimated that 2,500 seats were empty.
“German Jews hate Jews of other nations,” Miss Goldman said. “Even exiled, the German Jew looks down on other Jews. As long as Jews are opposed to each other, how can the remainder of the world respect them?”
Miss Goldman, who was introduced by Dr. Naomi Riches, assistant professor of history at Goucher College, urged the Jews to continue the boycott, but above all boycott the anti-Semitic Jew–the Jewish financier of Germany who has not been molested and who is, according to Miss Goldman, in high esteem.
Asked whether a Communist revolution would save Germany, Miss Goldman replied there is not a sign of revolution there. The Communists polled 6,000,000 votes, but went down before Hitler, she added.
