...brightly-lit Kurfürstendamm nightlife district had more fun last week than these beery, sausage-stuffed revelers have had in months. Well-dressed German women and their swank, duel-scarred escorts vied with shopgirls and mechanics in spurring on with laughter, cheers and songs the most savage Jew hunt since those which immediately followed Adolf Hitler's elevation to power by the ballots of 52.5% of all German voters (TIME, April...
...hunters; tall, blond, mighty-muscled Nazi youths in civilian clothes, appeared suddenly on the Kurfürstendamm but seemed at first not to know quite what to do. Soon group leaders dashed up in snorting Mercédès and the Jew hunt was on, a peculiar feature being that the sidewalk crowds joined in a hunting chant taught them by the hunters. This was roared out one line at a time by the group leaders, all present then repeating in a fervent chant: Perish Jew! Get the Hell out! Blood-running noses! The best Jew is a dead...
...results.* Although admiring shipmates credited small Midshipman Wood with beating up the big Nazi, getting arrested and paying a $20 fine, the German Government officially informed U. S. Ambassador William E. Dodd that no such arrest occurred. Police along the Kurfürstendamm took little interest in the Jew hunt.

His first act was to decree that Berlin's Jewish-owned ice cream parlors which do most of their business in the evening must close at 7 p. m. Next the Storm Troops, who have recently been repressed, were again given "police duties" in Berlin to "purge the city." They...
...society, the tales in Feliciana are casual and fragmentary, contain only marginal sociological comment. Some times Stark Young seems little more than a leisurely collector of old Southern impressions, exhibiting dissociated bits of conversations, rare historical items, with the polite, after-dinner wit of one displaying trophies of a hunt. Always contrasting feverish urban affectations with the contented days and rich histories of small Southern and Western towns, he finds humor, common sense and human decency characteristic of the provincials. His portraits of them would carry more conviction if occasionally human sweat and hot temper broke the serenity...
