Erik Larson Quote
No realm was too petty: The Ministry of Posts ruled that henceforth when trying to spell a word over the telephone a caller could no longer say D as in David, because David was a Jewish name. The caller had to use Dora. Samuel became Siegfried. And so forth. There has been nothing in social history more implacable, more heartless and more devastating than the present policy in Germany against the Jews, Consul General Messersmith told Undersecretary Phillips in a long letter dated September 29, 1933. He wrote, It is definitely the aim of the Government, no matter what it may say to the outside or in Germany, to eliminate the Jews from German life.
