Ghettos for
Jews Likely Nazi Decrees Berlin (AP)—Nazis predicted to
day a restoration of the Ghetto for Jews under new restrictive de- crees promised after the Thursday upsurge of anti-Jewish violence The Jews, said the Nazi inform- ants, would be compelled to live and do business only in sufficient number to supply the needs of the Jewish communities. (Walled and gated Ghettos had their origin in Italy in the16th century. They were known in the Germany of that day as Judengasse.) MARK END
The Nazis are confident the new
decrees will mark the final liquida- tion of the Jewish issue in Ger- many, and that there will be no more anti-Jewish outbreaks like those of yesterday in which mil- lions of dollars of damage was done in the smashing of jewish store windows, the looting of shops and the burning of synagogues in a dozen cities. They attributed the present out- break entirely to a wave of re- sentment for the slaying of Ernst Vom Rath, secretary of the Ger- man embassy in Paris, by a jewish youth. The new decrees were discussed by Chancellor Hitler and his ad- visors in confederances until late last night. Conferring with Hitler were field marshal Goering, chief of the four-year plan for economic independence; Rudolf Hess, Hit- lers deputy in party affairs: for- mer minister Von Ribbentrou, pro- paganda minister Goebbels and officials of the ministry of the in- terior. Goebbels promised the decrees when he called a halt to the dem- onstrations. |
