    American anti-Nazi protests
    Transcript
    [CHATTER]
    Americans are and should be indignant
    at the terrible outbreak of Jewish persecution in Germany
    and the drive against Christian faiths as well.
    It represents an outbreak of brutal intolerance
    which has no parallel in modern history except possibly
    the destruction of religious worship in Russia
    by the Bolsheviks.
    People are talking again about a new barbarian
    invasion of Europe.
    But this time, there's a difference.
    The original Huns had always been barbarians,
    but the Nazis had been born in a civilized fatherland,
    a glorious old Germany rich with spiritual and intellectual
    traditions, full of splendid universities and fine old
    churches.
    This fact makes the recent orgy of frightfulness a thing
    of very deep significance.
    For here, we see another fall from grace.
    Here again, we see the perfect flower of pride, love of self
    pushed even to contempt for God.
    We have every right to expect that there
    will arise a popular demand in the German Reich
    not only for the cessation of these brutalities
    but also for the punishment of those who have wildly turned
    themselves in the legislatures, laws, court, judges, and juries
    and have visited unmarried punishment upon the innocent.
    A plea for the Jew is now a moral plea for ourselves.
    Humanity cannot afford to be silent.
