A flood of anti-Jewish propaganda, contained in 120 newspapers established by the Nazi propaganda department in the occupied part of Russia, is now sweeping the Ukraine, according to reports from Berlin reaching Swedish newspapers here today.
The reports emphasize that the Nazi propaganda department in the Ukraine is the busiest department in the entire administrative machinery set up by Alfred Rosenberg’s Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories. Only five of the 120 newspapers which this department supervises are printed in the German language. The remainder are in Russian and in Ukrainian. The major portions of these publications are devoted to anti-Jewish incitement.
The Svenska Dagbladet also reports from Berlin that the Nazi chief of police in Lublin has issued an order prohibiting non-Jews from patronizing Jewish cab-drivers. Each horse-drawn cab driven by a Jew must have the Star of David conspicuously painted on it, the order provides.
