NAZI BRUTALITY

GIRL DEGRADED AFFECTION FOR A JEW SEVERE PENALTY PAID DRAGGED THROUGH CITY JEERS FROM ONLOOKERS By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received August 23. 7.b p.m.) Times Cable LONDON. Aug. 23 The Nuremberg correspondent of the Times states that included among disgusted foreigners in hotels who were forced to witness the spectacle of the marching of a white-faced girl, shorn of her hair and in a state of collapse, through the city streets, were the son and daughter of the new United States Ambassador, Mr. W. E. Dodd. The girl bore a placard on which was inscribed: " I wanted to give myself to a Jew." Repeatedly the girl stumbled, whereupon stalwart Brown Shirts placed her on her feet again. Frequently they carried her on their shoulders in order to afford a better view of her to the crowds of people who were blocking the streets. These onlookers cheered and jeered, some jocularly inviting the girl to make a speech. Although Nuremberg is a prominent Bavarian tourist centre, it is becoming noted for its anti-Semitic outbursts.
