The World Jewish Congress, in bitter protest against the anti-Semitic terror sweeping the Reich, tonight charged the Nazis with sole responsibility for the murder in paris of the german embassy secretary by a 17-year-old jew.

“The real persons responsible for this stupid crime, which the Jews condemn with extreme severity, are those “who have not ceased to preach the doctrines of might over right, of violence over justice, of hatred over brotherly love,” the statement declared.

While deploring the murder, the Congress said it was compelled to protest vigorously the German reprisals against thousands of innocent German Jews and the violent Nazi press attacks on world jewry.
