Nazi invasion, ‘Jewish Hour’ and a funeral
The beast marches on
THE “long period of peace” so recently promised by Herr Hitler has been rudely disturbed. Under his shock tactics, the Republic of Czechoslovakia has, almost overnight, disappeared from the European map and German troops have occupied its capital. The democracies, lured into growing complacency by the Fuhrer’s peace language, have once again been taken by surprise. They had little cause for it. At Munich a free hand was granted to Germany in Central and Eastern Europe. It was unreasonable to suppose that she would not, in due course, make the most of it. From the start, in fact, she has, politically and economically, been pressing her triumph, and the gradual subjection of Czechoslovakia has been so evident that the only real occasion for surprise is that she should have thought it necessary to clinch her triumph by methods of such brutal and barefaced violence.
The latest Nazi abomination
According to information which has reached this office, the television stations in Hamburg and Berlin have introduced a “Jewish Hour “in which pictures of alleged ritual murders of Christian children by Jews are shown, as well as demonstrations of the supposed cruelty — over and over again disproved — of the Jewish method of slaughter Arrests of alleged Jewish criminals are also screened, and, to make the whole hour as disgusting and revolting as human malignity can contrive, it has been placed under the direction of the arch-slanderer himself, Herr Streicher. This… makes the suggestion of a German return to the Dark Ages an insult to those somewhat maligned times.
The Late Hahum Dr Moses Gaster: The Funeral
The scenes at the funeral of Haham Dr Moses Gaster at the Spanish and Portuguese Cemetery, Golders Green, on Thursday morning of last week will not be forgotten by those who were there. So large was the crowd at the cemetery that they clamoured in vain to get into the hall where on the coffin, flickered two large candles. Both at the Synagogue in Lauderdale Road and at the cemetery the Shofar was blown… When the service began at the Beth Haim seven circuits were made around the bier while appropriate verses were said. The coffin was then taken from the mortuary hall to the grave, preceded by two Lavadores with candles and the Rev Mesquita.
