by these political developments, we feel it is important, both
because of this fact and also especially because of our duties as Germans, to
tell you explicitly for our part as well, that the contents of all the
atrocity tales being spread abroad about mistreatment of political opponents
and Jews are in no way in keeping with the facts. Germany, which has always
been a land of perfect order and self-discipline, today too, can lay claim
to being counted among the calmest countries in Europe. The security of
each and every individual is guaranteed in every respect, and no harm is being
done to anyone, not even political opponents or Jews. We regret exceedingly
that the conduct of certain elements abroad has led to retaliatory action in
Germany against Jewish businesses, and hope that this is merely a temporary
reaction. The events which have been disturbing the economy of the entire world
can be decisively stopped, however, only if those who think justly and
rationally gain the upper hand in the countries which have been causing this
disturbance. We therefore urgently request you, immediately upon receipt
of this letter, to contribute to the clarification of the actual facts
in a manner which you deem suitable and adaptable to the special conditions of
your country, either by visiting leading personalities of the country and the
editors of influential papers, or by distributing circulars to doctors and the
rest of your clientele. We request in particular that you emphasize as
effectively as possible that part of our letter which states that there is
not a true word in all the lies and atrocity stories being disseminated
abroad.
We request that you submit a report as soon as possible to our
PHARMA Management Secretariat, concerning the success of the steps you have
taken. |
