- Washington, March 21.—(AP)— The United States moved promptly[sic] tonight to obtain from its embassy in Berlin official information on complaint brought to the attention of the state department by American Jews that members of their race are being mistreated by followers of Chancellor Adolf Hitler.
Immediately after receiving from a delegation headed by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, complaints of "indignities and outrages" against Jews in Germany, the department cabled Ambassador Sackett in Berlin, telling of the "deep concern" being caused by these reports and asking detailed Information as to their accuracy.
The action was interpreted as meaning that if the reports are verified officially, the United States may make formal protest to the German government headed by the fiery Hitler, whose accession to power was marked by reports of widespread action against the semetic classes. - History Unfolded Contributor
