Nazi Terror Reports True Says Jewish Pianist on Arrival Here

Miss Rachelle Shubow, of Boston, concert pianist, who has been in Germany for the last four years, and has just returned, stated in an interview with a correspondent of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that all the reports concerning outrages against the Jews are absolutely true. She indicated, however, that many of the most refined and cultured elements of German society, are uncompromisingly opposed to Hitlerism.

“The feeling current among these better circles,” she said, “is that Hitler will not last, that he will be removed from power, or that his tactics will be altered due to the pressure of world public opinion.”

Miss Shubow, who studied with Professor Arthur Schnabel in Germany, gave nine concerts in Berlin, Leipzig, Munich, and other cities. Because she is an American, the concert which she gave on April 1, the day of the boycott in Germany, was not disturbed, and was attended by 1,600 people. She stated that although she and her mother were not molested on the streets of Berlin, she saw many instances of cruel insults to Jews.

She described the pitiful condition of some of the most eminent lawyers and distinguished physicians who have been forced into idleness by the Nazi decrees. They have been made beggars, whose only means of existence is possible if they are employed as an assistant to a so-called Aryan physician or lawyer.
