'THE CHINA MAIL, JUNE 12, 1941.
German Jews Paid Only 16s. A
16s. A Week
... MORE AND MORE humiliating restrictions continue to be imposed on the Jews in Germany, whose lot, severe enough before the war, is now well- nigh unbearable. If it were not for the clandestine. help given them by some Germans, many would die of hunger.
If and when Jews find work it is of the most humiliating character, and then they can earn only 10s. a week instead of £3, the German worker's nominal minimum.
In Berlin Jews are not allowed} to buy new shoes or even have old ones repaired. If they have business in Government offices they are obliged to carry a special identity card prominently in front of them.
