...Roman Catholic, recently ordered them to unite as Die Deutsche Glaubens Bewegung (The German Faith Movement). Last week the believing pioneers jammed a great Berlin hall, some boldly shouting ''Back to Wotan!" Others cautiously preparing to argue for "mild revision of the Bible to make it less Jewish." Keynoters were Nazi Editor Fritz Gericke and Count Ernst zu Reventlow. 65-year-old Nazi Reichstag Deputy. If Old God Wotan's most prominent living disciple. General Erich Ludendorff, was present he went unnoticed. The big issue promptly became Paragraph 24 of the Nazi Constitution which explicitly makes Christianity...
When President Roosevelt was picking his ambassadors he had the thumping idea of sending a Jew to Berlin as the best guarantee that U. S.-Jewish interests would be protected in the Fatherland. But no Jew seemed to want the hottest U. S. embassy. Even rich Gentiles seemed to have no zeal to be Ambassador to Nazi-dom and the President had to coax into service able but impecunious Professor William Edward Dodd (TIME, June 19. 1933).

Soon the cobbles rang with mounted police. The Jews fell back a little, screaming for the woman's arrest. The police took her and her candy to the police station, found both quite harmless...
Next day Warsaw's Jewish newspapers scare-headed stories that half a dozen gentile "witches" had distributed poison candy in the ghetto, throwing the candy from speeding automobiles. Rumor counted seven boys and girls dead. Warsaw's Mayor Koscialkowski ordered the Jewish newspaper editions confiscated. When a delegation of Jews waited on him, he promised the Jewish population (some 100.000) of Warsaw full protection, but added significantly: "The government does not underestimate the danger of a civil war between the Jewish and Christian populations...
