Jewish Telegraphic Agency published 12/07/1935 Praha, Jul. 11 (JTA) – At least one important Nazi has had a boomerang experience with Nazi race laws and non-Nazi circles in Berlin are still chuckling over the incident. Herr Arthur Greiser, Hitler's devoted lieutenant in the free city of Danzig and president of the Danzig Senate, has a Jewish brother-in-law, Dr. Kochmann, living in Germany. Dr. Kochmann, unable to claim the privileges of a front-fighter, was recently deprived of his panel practice. His wife appealed to her brother, Greiser, to help them, but Greiser was unable to get the order rescinded, according to the Praha press. Dr. Kochmann and Mrs. Koch-man, nee Greiser, are now en route to Shanghai, where they hope neither the "Aryan" race-laws nor membership in the family of a […]

Jewish Telegraphic Agency published 27/01/1936 Berlin, Jan. 26 (JTA) – Foreign diplomats heard Viktor Lutze, commander of the storm troops, at a meeting here describe Germany as a "hospitable land" whose hospitality had been violated by the Jews through their misbehavior. "The Jews," Herr Lutze declared, "must blame themselves for the treatment they are receiving at the hands of our country which is a hospitable land." Herr Lutze told the diplomats that "the racial policy of Germany is now the basis of the national conscience." Mesure d'audience ROI statistique webanalytics par

Jewish Telegraphic Agency published 06/07/1936 Geneva, Jul. 5 (JTA) – The League of Nations Council yesterday decided to entrust Poland with a diplomatic examination of the Danzig situation after Arthur Greiser, president of the Nazi-controlled Free City Senate, had threatened an anschluss between Danzig and Germany. Greiser's threat during the Council's debate on the Danzig situation elicited comparatively weak protests from Anthony Eden, British Foreign Secretary, and some other members of the Council. Before leaving the chamber, Greiser gave Captain Eden a Hitler salute, evoking laughter from occupants of the press gallery. Greiser thereupon turned to the gallery and thumbed his nose at the correspondents, arousing a storm of protest from the newspapermen. Robert Dell of the […]

Jewish Telegraphic Agency published 02/02/1937 Berlin, Feb. 1 – The Third Reich's concentration camps have been defended as an institution by Heinrich Himmler, head of the Gestapo (Secret State police) and the Schutz Staffel (Chancellor Hitler's black shirted elite guards.) He explained in an address to foreign correspondents : "This institution is completely misunderstood abroad. They are necessary for two groups: firstly, for those stimulating crime -- the typical underworlders, who are mainly Jews and half-Jews; secondly, for a large percentage of persons with a hereditary disposition for crime. The door of the concentration camps will never open for those persons since the Reich must be protected against them." Mesure d'audience ROI statistique webanalytics par

Jewish Telegraphic Agency published 19/01/1939 New York, Jan. 18 (JTA) – Reich Output Seen Cut 20% by Labor slowdown ; Goebbels Shift Looms. William Philip Simms, foreign news editor of the Scripps-Howard newspapers, declared today in a Washington dispatch that he had learned from diplomatic sources in London and Paris of a "slowdown strike" by workers in Germany in protest against a policy which they felt was leading to war. The strike, Mr. Simms said, had cut production in the Reich by approximately 20 per cent. The Reichswehr, Mr. Simms said, is still opposed to Chancellor Hitler's "unnecessarily provocative attitude" and is also said to be against his too extreme anti-Semitic and anti-religious policy. Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels is credited with being the chief instigator […]

Jewish Telegraphic Agency published 03/03/1939 Vatican City, Mar. 2 (JTA) – Pacelli’s Election, Opposed by Nazis, Seen Heavy Blow to Racism. A heavy blow was dealt to the forces of totalitarianism and racism today when Eugenic Cardinal Pacelli, Cardinal Camerlengo and Papal Secretary of State under the late Pope Pius XI, was chosen as Pope in one of the quickest papal elections in history. The 262nd Pope, whose election had been openly opposed by the German press as the "hope of the People's Front and the Jews," took the name of Pope Pius XII -- indicating that he would follow in the footsteps of the late Pontiff, who openly denounced persecution and racial doctrine. Pope Pius XII is known to be even more hostile to Nasism than was his predecessor. Der Angriff, organ of Reichsminister […]
