Translation of text: “The leading English newspaper “Daily Mail” reports: “The involvement of Jews in crimes against English wartime economy laws ostracized Jewry and the Jewish name in England, Rabbi Dr. J. Hertz declared in a London Synagogue.” With his expostulation, the Rabbi warned his breed to be cautious in their shady dealings, in an attempt to make sure that the English people don’t realize what kind of lice they planted in their furs. His attempts will be in vain. This is the nature of the Jews. First they agitate nations into war and while the soldiers of these nations fight and bleed, the Jews profit from it, manipulating, cheating and deceiving while filling their dirty pockets on the misfortunes and backs of these nations. In Germany we have put an end to this. We separated them from the German community and marked them with the Yellow Star. Everybody knows: Whoever wears this star is an enemy of our people.”
