Berlin Radio Urges
An End to Racism

,



BERLIN, (JTA) — The Nazi
slogan that "Jews are our mis-
fortune" must be supplanted by
a new slogan: "Racial biology is
the curse of our people," a speak-
er on the Russian-controlled Ber-
1M radio said this week.
Declaring that only by ridding
themselves completely of racist
ideas can the German people
hope to be re-admitted into the
community of nations, the broad-
cast said that "the soul of the
people . was systematically poison-
ed by these doctrines, and the
mind of the people was pervert-
ed. This led to the Gestapo tor-
tures and to the Maidanek gas
chambers."

diminutive Corporal Hastings and her story—in
her own words — in surviving an airplane

her experiences in the Dutch New Guinea
