Abstract
Description
Enclosure: See No. 150. Hitler and Goering now realize effects both at home and abroad of anti-Jewish movement and are inclined to moderate their persecution, but Goebbels remains adamant; secondary leaders and the masses as anti-Jewish as ever, no Jewish judges remain, few Jewish lawyers permitted to practice, Jews excluded from performing arts, and Jewish professors in Universities given "leave of absence"; Rector of University of Berlin, who is non-Jewish, removed because he objected to placing on bulletin board by students the so-called "12 theses against the non-German spirit," which included vicious statements against Jews; students in all German universities planning celebration for May 10, including monster bonfire in which Jewish books would be burned.
