The recent marriage of Adolf Hitler’s sister, Angela Rauball, has placed a delicate and thus far unsolved problem of etiquette in the lap of the executive head of the Mensa Academica Judaica, it was learned here today.
The problem arises from the fact that during the years 1922 and 1923, the German Reichsfuehrer’s sister occupied the post of kosher cook at the Jewish academic institute.
Recalling this employment, the head of the school is in a dilemma as to whether or not to follow the custom and send congratulations to the bride.
