German antisemitic publication "Warum Arierparagraph?" by Drs. E.H. Schultz and R. Frercks, published by the Racial Policy Office of the NSDAP, Berlin, 1934. With graphs and illustrations, the pamphlet summarizes and justifies the anti-Jewish laws enacted by the Third Reich and provides statistics "proving" how Jews are overrepresented in the important parts of society. Interestingly it promises that Jews will be well treated--only their social standing is intolerable.
