Aryanisms

By postponing "indefinitely" the trial of Rev. Dr. Martin Niemoeller, doughty Confessional Synod leader, and 78 other imprisoned anti-Nazi pastors, the German Government last week showed signs of backing down in its campaign against its Christian foes. The Reich, however, continued to devise ingenious ways of preserving its Aryan population from Jewish contamination.

P: In Prenzlauerberg, Berlin's northeastern district, 100 new park benches were installed. Ninety-two bore the inscription "Jews Prohibited"; the remaining eight "Reserved for Jews." Der Angriff, mouthpiece of Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels, strongly recommended adoption of this "ghetto measure" in other Berlin districts.

P: Jewish booksellers were forbidden to 1) sell books to anyone except Jews, 2) besmirch the reputations of Aryan German authors by selling their works.

P: Atop Wertheim's department store in Berlin a brand-new Swastika flag flew triumphantly. It was a signal that this Jewish firm was now completely "Aryan." The firm's top men, Jew Georg Wertheim. Jew Fritz Sternberg, had been removed on Government orders.

P: Trumpeted in the Nazi press was a court ruling that it is contrary to a German's, especially a National Socialist's, honor to pay debts incurred by a wife in making purchases at Jewish stores. C. A 28-year-old Jew invited an Aryan girl to the movies, and she sued him. A Nuernberg court, sentencing the Jew to a month's imprisonment, reminded him that the laws of Nuernberg were enacted to "prevent the erotic approach of Jews towards Aryan girls."
