& „Dieser ebenso langweilige wie widerwärtige kleine

Zappeljude wurde vom Israelitischen Familienblatt

in folgender Weise verherrlicht: ,Aber Charlie Chaplin, der

den ewigen Krieg des Geistes gegen die Gewalt, das

Recht der Armen (!) immer wieder – alle Welt erschütternd (?) – darstellt, ist zum Mythos unserer Zeit geworden.‘

Diese Zeit ist gewesen.“

Editorial content. „Call for Immediate Return of German

      Players Reported“ (...)

      „Marlene Dietrich, also a Paramount player, during her

three months abroad, never once crossed the boundary

into Germany, and she returned to the United States on a French

boat, though she had sailed on a German steamer.

      Before sailing for New York she was quoted as saying:

,I have a long contract in Hollywood and I shall probably

never again make films in Germany.‘

      Nazi control of the film industry in Germany had its

inception long before it was officially

announced by the Hitler government.“ (...)

      „Charles Chaplin and Max Reinhardt are included

in a suggestion by a Nazi propagandist to German ,patriots‘ all

over the world to ,get‘ the ,enemies of Nazi-dom‘ according

to the New York Daily Mirror. In a document by Dr.Johann Von

Leers, titled Jews Are Looking at You, the comedian

is characterized as ,this boresome as well as repellant yapping

little Jew.‘“ (...)

      Charles Chaplin does not have a Jewish background.
