Tar; Hair Dye

Rollicking Storm Troopers swept into a barber shop at Beuthen near the German-Polish frontier last week, seized pretty Manicurist Lotte Feingraeber. "Are you engaged to a Jew? Don't lie to us!" they roared. "Ja" admitted Lotte Feingraeber.

With a will the Nazi youths shaved the manicurist bald as an owl. Smearing her with tar, they hung around her neck a sign I PROSTITUTED MYSELF TO A JEW, dragged her up & down the streets of Beuthen until they were tired, finally let her go.

Since Lotte Feingraeber is Polish, she ducked down a side street, eluded German frontier guards, slipped into Poland. Clawing at her tar-covered skin, she was placed in a hospital at Churcuv "suffering from nervous breakdown." Aroused, the Swiss President of the Upper Silesian Mixed Commission for Protection of National Minorities, M. Felix Calender, demanded without result last week that the German Government punish the Storm Troopers who tarred Lotte Feingraeber. The tar having been peeled off her and soothing lotions applied, she said with returning composure: "I shall demand 50,000 marks [$20,000] from the German authorities."

Meanwhile other blondes who keep company with Jews in Germany were being similarly dealt with on a nationwide scale, Storm Troopers working themselves up with shouts that they were "punishing race rape." One result: correspondents in large German cities reported rush sales of dark hair dye to many a blonde. Explanation: "They think you're a Jewess and let you alone with your Jewish boy friend, if your hair is dark. Of course in a small town where everyone is known, dye is no good."
