"Exit" for German-"Jews" "State Within a State."
Berlin, Germany.....The American Embassy in Berlin (pictured here) is looke upon by German-Jews as a door out. Although a narrow one -- an exit from the new German-Jewish "state within a state" of Jews in Germany -- has been organized to complete segregation of Jews in germany, with final emigration of all jews from the Reich as its sole aim, the new "State" is under the jurisdiction of Dr. Wilhelm Frick, Reich minister of the interior. It is entirely self-supporting. The embassy is constantly besieged by an army of hopeful would-be-emigrants seeking visas so they can enter the United States.
