Disarming Berlin Jews Is Underway
Berlin (AP)—Count Wolf Von Hell-
dorf, chief of Berlin police, an-
nounced today he was disarming
Berlins Jews and that he had
seized quantities of arms and am-
munition in the last few weeks.
The announcement was made
while Nazis were taking reprisals
against jews for the shooting of a
German embassy secretary in Paris
by a young Polish Jew, but the
round up of arms began some time
before the Paris shooting.
It was disclosed that a systematic
search had been made and that all
weapons for which special permits
were lacking were seized. The po-
lice chief said 1,702 firearms, 20,000
rounds of ammunition and 2,569
steel knives or knuckes had been
found on Jews and that the search
was continuing.
Anti-Jewish reprisals were re-
ported from two German towns,
while the government banned all
Jewish publications until further
notice.
