It was not only as a Zionist that Mr.
Koffman stood out in this community.
Whenever there was an appeal to Jewish
conscience, whenever there was n chat.

causes, Mr. Koffman was among the first
to give of himself, his time and his money.
It may well be said of Mr. Koffman that

"Naturally, the Jews may reopen their
shops, but who will buy from them? The
official boycott is withdrawn, but the actual
boycott continues. The Jewish business world
in Germany was brought under moral and
spiritual pressure. Nothing can be worse than
the fear that the Damocles sword may fall any
day. One must go •. far back as medieval
times to realize how strong is the feeling
of objection and uncertainty and the deteriora•
lion gripping German Jewry.
"Besides, the general unemployment grow.

had left many Jews unable to obtain employ•
ment in the larger companies. German retail
concerns then began in ever•incre•sing degree

Thus, ad infinitum, come horrifying re-

And to make it plain that the Jew is the
victim of the Nazi program that "the third
Reich is to be for pure Aryans." the Hitler-
' Res, in the newly promulgated law, explain
their intention as follows:
"Anyone who springs from non-Aryan,
especially Jewish• parents or grandparents.
It shall suffice if only part of the parent-
age or grand-parentage is non-Aryan. 'Phis
is especially to be assumed if part of the
parentage or grand-parentage professes or
has professed the Jewish religion,"
But this is not sufficient. The Deutsche
Studentenschaft, the organization of "na -
tionally - minded" German students,
launched a four-week nation-wide cam-
paign against the "tin-German spirit." Its
avowed object is the "extirpation of the
Jewish spirit and the hold of liberalism."
And in One of its appeals this student or-
ganization declares:
"Our most dangerous •ntagoniat. are the

"The Jew can speak only Jewish. When he

"We want to extirpate lies. We want to

not of thoughtlessness but of discipline and

"We would respect the Jew as an alien and
we would treat our national being seriously.
We therefore demand censorship to see to it
