...immeasurably astonished to find that some of these documents of a decadent art ... were still being exhibited until a few days ago in the public galleries. . . .

One can say that everything that is holy to a decent German necessarily had to be trampled in the mud here...
Place of honor in Professor Ziegler's rubbish was occupied by a futuristic oil painting, The Adventurer by Satirist George Grosz, done in 1917 and sold in 1928 to the Dresden Stadt-Museum.

But their days are numbered, and their sway ended. The Coughlins, Curleys, Lemkes, Smiths and others have been discarded to the rubbish heap of American opinion. Is it too much to dream that America will keep them there? Dare we hope that we will remain as free of these vermin during the years to come as we are today in the year...
