Call number:
BG H14/941
'Visit Germany! Magnificent concentration camps... enormous swimming pools free of Jewish germs... hotel rooms always include microphones directly connected to the Gestapo Secret Police... tattlers to be found on every corner...'
A worldwide Jewish boycott movement was initiated in March 1933, shortly after Hitler's ascent to power. The American Joint Boycott Council of the American Jewish Congress and Jewish Labor Committee as well as its European brethren, the Jewish Representative Council for the Boycott of German Goods and Services (London) and the Comité de Défense des Juifs Persécutés (Paris) called for a total economic boycott of Germany. The London Branch published a handout 'ridiculing Nazi hospitality toward tourists' in 1935.
Probably the document presented here is the French version of this handout. It was inserted in an American traveler's guide from 1936 that denounced the anti-Semite practices in Germany on every page.
