90 YEARS AGO: A threat to legislate Jews out of Germany was the loudest gun fired today in the Nazis’ big drive against “reactionaries.” Julius Streicher, husky, bald Nazi boss of Franconia, who is considered the soul of Nazism’s hatred of Jews, voiced the threat in an address he delivered at Bernau, suburb of Berlin. He emphatically predicted anti-Semitic laws in the near future to put “Jews in their places” – the first time any high official had said anti-Semitism “must be made part of German law.” In other news, some 500 Jewish children between the ages of 6 and 14 coming from poor families have been told by social welfare workers they can no longer go to the sports grounds to play after incurring the ire of their Aryan playfellows. The Nazis also took action against Catholics with a decree from Gen. Hermann Wilhelm Goering dissolving Germany’s Catholic war veterans’ organization. July 1935
