REVIEW OF THE YEAR 5692
(Continued from preceding page)
which supervises Jewish religious
activities in France.
GERMANY
The successes of the National
Socialist party in many provincial
elections in Germany, prior to the
balloting for President in March
and April, 1932, caused a great
deal of anxiety to the Jews of
Germany nit only because these
successes seemed to forebode the
ultimate triumph of the Nazis, but
also because they enocuraged the
latter to intensify their propa-
ganda, of which anti-Semitism is
one of the most appealing factors.
At the same time, the Social
Democratic-Centrist coalition gov-
ernment of Bruening failed to
show any wholehearted opposition
to the anti-Jewish agitations of
the Nazis or to take any steps to
curb their arrogant tactics insofar
as Jews are concerned. The past
year, therefore, saw a great num-
ber of minor clashes between Jews
and Nazis, which were sometimes
followed by arrests and trials;
few of the latter led to an out-
come which acted as a deterrent
against re-occurrences of disor-
ders. There were also additional
desecrations of cemeteries, and
assaults upon synagogues; and
now and then the accusation of
ritual murder was heard.
The most sensational street at-
tack against Jews took place in
Berlin on Rosh Ilashonah, Sep-
tember, 1931, just as worshippers
were leaving the synagogues. Many
persons, some of them non-Jews,
were set upon and beaten, seven
being badly hurt, although a num-
ber who were also injured did
not report.
The success of the Hitlerites in
provincial elections made itself
felt almost immediately through
the retirement of Jewish officials
and the dismissal of Jewish actors
and singers from government-
supported theaters and opera
houses. Another weapon which
the Nazis used for harassing the
Jews was the prohibition of Sheh-
itah, the Jewish ritual method of
slaughtering animals. The Nazis
succeeded in bring about such pro-
hibition in several cities, but failed
in others. In April, the Prussian
Minister of the Interior instructed
government officials to annul all
such prohibitions in Prussian cities
on the grounds that they were un-
constitutional.
The anti-Jewish agitation and
attacks were not permitted to go
on without resistance on the part
of the Jewish population. The
Central Verein Deutscher Staats-
buerger Juedischen Glaubens con-
tinued, as in former years. to at-
tempt, with such means as it had
at its disposal, to stem the swell-
ing tide of Hitlerist propaganda.
In January, 1932, the Central
Verein, the Zionist organization,
the B'nai B'rith, the Women's
Union, and a number of Jewish
relief societies held a meeting and
decided to set up a joint commit-
tee for planning concerted action
in combating attempts to deprive
the Jews of Germany of their
rights, and for negotiating with
government authorities to insure
the honor, life and economic exis-
tence of the Jewish population.
In a number of cases, persons
responsible for villifying the Jew-
ish people were brought to trial
at the request of the Central Ve -
eM or other Jewish organizations.
In August, 1931, the editor of the
Nazi newspaper in which the state-
ment had appeared that "Jehovah)
is not God but a business man,'
Was sentenced to imprisonment for
insulting the Jewish religion.
The material situation of the
Jews of Germany did not improve
during the year. There were the
same symptoms of acute distress
as were enumerated in our review
of a year ago. Added to the nat-
ural economic forces which oper-
ated upon non-Jews as well as
Jews, was the artificial force of
the anti-Jewish boycott which has
resulted from the propaganda of
the Nazis, and which renders the
situation of the Jew more diffi-
cult than that of the non-Jew.
With drastically reduced income,
the community was called upon
for help by a steadily mounting
number of applicants.
OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES
The constitution of the rfew re-
publio of Spain, adopted in De-
cember, 1931, was greeted with
satisfaction by the small Jewish
community. Although it abolished
state subsidies of all religious in-
stitutions, and created some diffi-
culties regarding the maintenance
of cemeteries on a sectarian basis,
yet the constitution did contain
the revolutionary provision that
"nationality, sex, political ideas,
and religious creeds are not a
ground for legal privileges, which
the state does not recognize." Con-
trary to the expectations of some,
the constitution does not refer
specifically to Jews.
That the situation of the Jews
of Belgium who are engaged in
peddling has become precarious
was indicated by the fact that in
March a conference of Jewish

A ROSH HASHONAH MESSAGE
SUN BUILDING
DRUG STORE
By RABBI JEROME D. FOLKMAN
Temple Beth Israel, Jackson, Mich.
The past year has been a try-
ing one. The political skies were
over-hung with black clouds that
threatened to burst at any moment.
Revolutionary governments were
established in various parts of the
world, dictators were net up, con-
stitutional rights were frequently
ignored. Even the most stable in-
dustrial and financial instiutions
rocked and tumbled to the ground
when their foundations were shak-
en by the severe quakes that re-
sulted from the expansion and the
subsequent contraction of busines-
ses. Suicide was a tempting ave-
nue of escape for many. Others
were forced to tread the dreary
path of slow starvation that ends
in the prison or the grave. The
hungry man cried aloud, "How
long, 0 Lord? Wilt Thou forget me
forever?" and he who had no shel-
ter from the rain and snow, How
long wilt Thou hide Thy face from
me?"
This political and economic dis-
aster was world-wide. No people
or nation in the civilized world
seemed entirely immune from this
devastation. The whole of man-
kind had to suffer together. Com-
mon suffering should have brought
men and nations closer together;
it seems that the peoples of the
earth would have sought to unite,
hoping to find additional strength
in unity. On the contrary, though,
men became bitter against each
other. Nations grew apprehensive
of other nations. Vs bile men
closed their hearts, nations closed
their ports. Fear increased. Un-
just accusations were directed by
selfish demagogues against the
house of Israel, whose distress was
certainly no less than that of any
other people.
Consequently, the position of our
brethren grew evermore difficult as
the economic situation grew more
acute. In some places they found
it almost impossible to earn a liv-
ing; opportunities open to Jews
were few indeed. In other places,
Jews were in constant danger of
physical attack and violence. In
spite of their dire predicament,
however, our brethren, for the most '
part, have been making a valiant
effort to maintain their religious
and social institutions, their syna-
gogues, schools and hospitals. Sac-
rifice was required, and sacrifices
were made. It was again revealed
in a revelation as eloquent as any
of old that the higher values in
life are far more stable, for more
solid than those temporal values
on whose seeming stability and
solidity we had so foolishly staked
our worldly goods.

peddlers was held at Antwerp for
the purpose of forming an or-
ganization to protect themselves
against anti-Jewish groups who
are harrassing them.
In Switzerland, the spread of
anti-Jewish propaganda in the
form of alleged documents such
as the notorious forged proclama-
tion of the Alliance Israelite Uni-
/crone, evoked a public protest
from the Jewish community. In
January, 1932, anti-Jewish boy-
cott propaganda and other leaflets
were distributed from house to
house in Geneva, and a group of
non-Jews published appeal to Swiss
citizens to pay no heed to this
agitation. An effort to introduce
the National Socialist brand of
Fascism into the country met with
little success.
A similar attempt was made In
the Netherlands, where in Septem-
ber, 1931, the fall of Dutch bonds
was in some circles blamed on the
Jews. In February, the Liberal
Party held a meeting at the Ilague
to discuss means of combatting
this anti-Jewish agitation and the
propaganda of the Ilitlerites. In
April, there was a clash between
Nazis and Jews on the streets of
Utrecht. In March, a Liberal con-
gregation was established at the

This, after all, is most important.
No forclosure can deprive one of
