JENS OF BERLIN ~ RETAIN CULTURE [IN REICH UNION
Boys ‘Barred From Study For Professions but Get Schooling. (Second of a Series)
By DANA A. SCHMIDT United Press Staff Correspondent
BERLIN, Aug. 25.—For some of!F the prohibitions to which Jews in Germany are subject there are substitutes within the scope of the Reich Union of Jews in Germany, which is responsible for every aspect! of Jewish life in the old Reich, from
welfare, theaters, education, hospitals and religion to all-dominating emigration. By a ‘decree in July all automatically belong to the: union, which is directed ‘by a board of eight headed by Rabbi Israel Baeck and responsible to: the ministry of the interior. It must be’. self-support-ing, although its only sources of income are a tax from 1 to 10 per cent on the total fortunes of emi-
quarter of the income tax. Since few Jews still have incomes, the latter tax is not very productive. Anomalously, the Reich actually
000, Jews and a number of Jewish schools and asylums in southern Germany and the Rhineland up to the time of the July decree.
Aid Up to Union
Now, however, the Union must take over all welfare work and schools, in addition to its regular:
gration. Many children from isolated Jewish families” in the provinces are being brought to Berlin; i new asylums and old people's homes are being set up for those leaving “aryan” institutions. Jewish cultural life continues in the “Kulturbund,” which operates
Jews only are admitted, by identification card. Tickets are cheap and shows play to full houses. For Berlin's 120,000 Jews there Is one theater and one movie. The theater presents plays of all kinds, although it has not yet ventured upon German greats” like Goethe, and occasionally it puts on an opera. The artists are good semi-profes-sionals; most of the famous ones have emigrated. The movie more or less parellels what is being shown generally in Berlin. ’
Smaller Towns Barren
Other large towns like Hamburg, Frankfurt, Cologne have ‘movies and periodic amateur plays. Smaller towns have nothing. Education, by law, must serve the requirements of emigration exclusively. No Jewish boy can
e professions. But he has opportunities to learn languages, commercial subjects, agriculture, or a trade. The schools are crowded. Many older Jews, former teachers, merchants, lawyers are retraining themselves as farm laborers, locksmiths, electricians, dressmakers, nurses, domestic servants, because these are the only occupational categorie many countries will admit. About 17,000 have thus retrained themselves and some 4000 are taking courses. When a Jew becomes ill he must, except in emergencies, call one of the 280 “sick attendants” who are thé only Jewish physicians allowed to continue practice. Their blue plaquess which the yellow Star of David in the corner and the inscription “authorized for the treatment of Jews only” can occasionally be seen in Berlin. They may not call themselves physicians.
Attorneys Have Permits
Lawyers are limited in similar fashion, 260 holding permits to practice as “councillors.” For serious illness there is a large Jewish hospital and several clinics in Berlin. . Smaller towns are not so well equipped, but Jews must use the facilities available if possible, Generally, the Jewish institutions are well staffed, except for a shortage of nurses, many of whom have emigrated to England. In the life of many Jews religion now plays an unprecedented” role. Persecution has produced a receding wave back to the remaining synagogues among many Jews who were more or less completely assimilated with “aryans” during generations befcre 1933. The 10 synagogues still operating in Berlin are always full. Ritual food is not obtainable.
One Jewish Newspaper
The sole legal Jewish publication, the semi-weekly Juedisches is a revealing document if one is not misled by a superficial impression of cozy community life which the Jews have all to themseves, caused by -omission of all unpleasantness. The paper prints news of fhe Evian Committee, Palestine, emigration, letters from emigrants in Siam, Sweden, New York, devotes a full page to an English lesson and one or two pages to theater and cinema. Advertisements offer and request lessons in many languages, particularly English—a joke runs: “Are you aryan or are you learning English?” Other ads seek passages to Shanghai, the only place a Jew can still go without a visa, and. to South American points. Jews who can pay passages only in marks have limited selections of passages and many ships are booked six months in advance.
