Open the Graves!
Civilized Europe Mast Learn
of the Barbarities Perpe-

By DR. S. M. MELAMED
A group of storm troopers,
eight to 12 in number, armed
to the teeth enter s a Jewish
home in Germany. "Hie leader
of the band casts a grim eye
upon the member s of the famil y .
and directs his men to seize the
father and oldestson, whoare
declared to he under arrest.
Amid the stillnes s of the grave-
yard, the prisoner s are whisked
away.
No one knows where they are
taken. Days pass without a
word from them. The local po-
lice, to which the family applies
for information, merely shrug
their shoulder s in reply. The
local prosecutor also tries to
conceal his embarrassment.
Meanwhile the family of the
kidnaped victim cowers in ter-
ror.
It visualizes a tragedy
which it dares not express.
Forty-eight hours later, the
same storm troopers invade the
same Jewish house and place
two sealed coffins upon the floor.
They curtly remark. "The dead
men were shot in the back while
trying to escape." In silence
they retreat.
The members of the family
surround the coffins of their be-
loved ones, and behold a brown
tag flapping loosely from the
sides of each box, inscribed with
the command: "Verboten zu
oeffenen" ("It is forbidden to
open"). The family is over.
whelmed with anguish- The wife
and mother of the victims col-
lapses, her daughters weep and
her sons ■
are transformed into
waxen images. They all know
that their martyred kin were
innocent of all wrongdoing, and
that if ted by mistake they
would not attempt to escape,
for they could prove their inns.
cence.
But it is forbidden to open
the coffins. Why? Whom would
it embarrass? Yet so anxious
is the family to glimpse, for the
last time, at the features of
their beloved ones, that they dis-
obey the prohibition. They will
open the coffins. And since it
is a dangerous enterprise. they
wait until the early hours of the
morning, when the spying eyes
of their Nazi neighbors will be
closed in sleep.
The family of the victims
gathe r around the coffins. and
bolt the doors and shutters of
the room. By the sputtering
light of a tiny candle they noise-
lessly open the coffins. When
the tops are removed and they
see their kin, they turn into
stone. They
see,
not dead
bodies, but a heap of broken
hones, coagulated blood, lacer-
ated flesh and distorted. disfig-
ured faces. Every hone in the
bodies i s crushed and every
limb is twisted. Those martyrs
had not been shot while trying
to escape. They had been torn
to pieces by mad, bloodthirsty
beasts. Their flesh had been
shredded as though they had
been the victims of a pack of
ravenous wolve s in a now-
covered forest. They died not
once, but 20 times.
But this is not an exceptional
case. No Jewish family in the
smaller German communities
escaped similar tragedies. There
is not one Jewish graveyard in
Germany which does not sigh for
such martyrs. Thousands of Jews
in Germany, young •nd old,
poor and rich, have, during the
past eight months, suffered such
beastly deaths.
Neither the Spanish Inquisi•
tors nor the Czar's pogromi.ts
perpetrated such revolting cruel-
tie s against their Jewish vic-
tims. Compered to our Jewish
martyrs in Nazi Germany. our
m•rtyrs of the Spanish Inquisi-
tion. who were roasted alive,
died peaceful deaths. The most
barbarous and blood-thirsty sav-
age s in the remotest corners of
Asia and Africa never dreamed
of torturing human creature s as
have the enlightened Nazis in
civilized Europe.
We protest against the perse
cation of the Jews in Germany.
We cry out against their politi-
cal and social degradation. We
demand for them the right to
live as men. But should we not
first demand for them the right
to die as men?
We demand that Germany
withdraw her cruel and discrim-
inatory laws against the Jews.
But first we demand the right
to open the fresh g f our
Jewish martyrs. so that the
world will see that Germany's
present leaders •re not merely
killers and in.. but sadists
• nd venomous serpents.

As this issue of The Defroit Jewish Chronicle goes to prIss,
word is received from Geneva, Switzerland, that High Commis-
sioner James G. McDonald has agreed to invite eight Jewish
organisations to be represented in the League of Nations •utono•
mou s governing body for German refugees. The High Com-
missioner's decision is the result of negotiations between Dr.
Chaim Weizmann and Dr. Nahum Goldman, representing the
London conference, the High Commissioner, and the Secretariat
of the League of Nations.
From Washington come reports of the inquiry conducted by
the House of Representative s Immigration Committee, under the
chairmanship of Congressman Samuel Dickstein, to determine
the extent of the danger of Nazi propaganda in this country.
The investigation was started following conference Represents•
live Dickstein had with President Roosevelt.
The overwhelming "victory" scored by Adolf Hitler
at the elections in Germany last Sunday ironically enough
came with the suspected aid of the Jewish voters.
Frederick T. Birchall, head of the New York Times
European bureau, in his cable from Berlin summing up
the election, has this to say about Sunday's vote:
"Voting was a rapid operation, quickly finished, because there
was no choice over which to hesitate. It was merely a matter of
making crosses in two circles, so this doing a patriotic duty became
it rather good-humored proceeding.
"'1 saw only one 1111111 w ho did not look happy,' a feminine voter
remarked tonight. 'Ile is the son of my landlord and he is a Jew.
— *But he voted and took his button.'
