Nazis Intensify Anti-jewish Propaganda in Germany; Use Rearmament Plan As Pretext

German Nazis were reported today to be launching a new campaign against the Jews based on the argument that the Jews want to rearm Western Germany and plunge Germans into war again.

The new campaign, pressed by word of mouth, is causing much concern to Jewish community leaders here who recall that after World War I, a major argument against the Jews was that they were pacifists opposing nationalist remilitarization schemes.

The Union of Jewish Communities of Hesse asked the public prosecutor today to take action against Ernst Mayer, 52, an ex-officer and commercial agent, for declaring publicly that “all Jews ought to be burned.” When challenged by a policeman, Mayer justified himself by declaring that “the Jews want to rearm Germany and make me fight again.”
