LETTER FROM "DER STUERMER", No. 11, March 1936,
p. 10.
Friends of the Jews on the Moselle
Dear Stuermer,
In Bruttig, in the lovely Moselkrampen, there is a boarding school for children. It is under the direction of sisters. Jewish Children were cared for there too. That these offspring of Jews even stood round the little crib and took part in the performances during the Christmas plays reveals the spirit which prevails in this school. Now the National-Socialist communal counsellor has put an end to these undignified conditions. He put a ban on Jewish children being cared for at the school. There was great sorrow over this among those who bow down to the Jews. To overcome this "bad state of affairs", the wife of the richest peasant in Bruttig, Mrs. Nik. Loenarz, decided to look after the Jewish children. She now goes out for walks with Jewish children in bright daylight. No wonder the Loenarz family buys meat from the Jew. "Tell me with whom you consort and I will tell you who you are."
In nearby Fankel, there lives a brother of the Loenarz woman, the friend of Jews. His name is Josef Hess; he is the owner of a patrimonial estate and is the richest bachelor in the place. This compatriot never gives anything for any collection. He says he has nothing himself. Another owner of a patrimonial estate, Math. Hess, does not give a Pfennig either. That is how these

people show their gratefulness to the Third Reich for having saved them from communism. For those kinds of compatriots it would have been far better if they had themselves felt the "blessings" of communism.
