Free peoples fell for the Nazi
bluff of anti-Semitism. From it
came the outgrowth of anti-un-
anti-Catholicism, anti-re-

anti-humanity, with the re-

Hitler's actions should be suffi-
cient for us to recognize that the
attitude of an individual on anti-
Semitism may well be accepted
a guide of his attitude to-
as
wards all other considerations of
humane issues. On the basis of
such judgment, Otto Strasser
must stand condemned on a par
with Hitler as a menace to the
future security of whatever
movements he seeks to lead.

DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and the Legal Chronicle
reported on the happenings of
the day. From this point on,
Mr. Reed's explanation of Stras-
ser's experiences and views is
completely punctuated with anti-
Semitic comments. He gives the
impression that Jews, in an effort
to become repatriated in Ger-
many through special favors, had
acted as agents for the Gestapo
(as in the instance of a Dr. He-
brew to whom reference is made).
He links Jews with Bolshevism
and capitalism — the usual in-
consistency of anti-Semites. Here
is a sample of Reed's outbrusts
in reference to Russia:
"The only class in the land that
enjoys privilege and preferment
and perquisites and bodily com-
fort is that of the new tyrants,
the officials; the majority of these
are Jews, and Jews who not even
by the longest stretch of the
imagination can be called Rus-
sian. They are the equivalents
of those recent newcomers to
Britain who are already 'one
hundred per cent British,' whose
incomplete knowledge of our
language and ineradicable differ-
ence from ourselves is shown in
the magazines and books they
publish and plays and films they
make. Bolshevist Russia offers, I
should think, the most astonish-
ing example in history of an
alien tyranny introduced into the
land by slight-of-hand and mas-
querading as something Russian.
Even the general who led the
unfortunate Russian soldiers in
the farcical and calamitous opera-
tions against Finland, Stern, was
a foreign Jew; he is poor adver-
tisement for that superior ability
which the apologists of anti-Gen-
tilism claim to be their chief at-
tribute of the Jews."

Hebrew School Classes
The auditorium of the new
building, with a capacity of 250.
will be used during the year for
Saturday services for the pupils
of the Hebrew Schools. The Sat-
urday services will be conducted
by the pupils themselves under
the supervision of the staff. High
Holy Day services will be con-
ducted in the auditorium also.
Daily Hebrew School classes
will begin at 4 o'clock, as in all
other branches of the United He-
brew School System. The dura-
tion of a session is an hour and
a half. Bar Mitzvah classes, with
a special teacher devoting his en-
tire time to the Ba•-Mitzvah, have
already been organized. The
building has accommodations for
400 pupils, and the Jewish peo-
ple of the neighborhood are urg-
ed to register their children im-
mediately. A staff of eight
teachers, headed by Bernard Isa-
9
acs and Abraham J. Lachover, is
in charge of the branch.
The Rose Sittig Cohen Build-
ing was erected with funds allo-
cated by the United Jewish Char-
ities from the Carrie Sittig Co-
hen Memorial Fund.
