# Völkischer Beobachter, "Macht ganze Arbeit mit den Juden!" (Make a clean job of the Jews!), 10 March 1920

Front page of a Munich völkisch twice-weekly, headed by a demand to "make a clean job" of the Jews. The lead article lists measures it wants taken, including lists of Jews in every town, removal from state offices, newspapers and theatres, and expulsion of Ostjuden; a second front-page article blames hardship on import and export permits.

Solche Maßnahmen wären z. B.

[Excerpt from the lead article, middle column:]
Such measures would be, for example, the introduction of Jew lists in every town or every municipality, immediate removal of the Jews from all state offices, newspaper businesses, theatres, cinemas etc. — in short — the Jew must be deprived of every possibility of continuing to exert his baneful influence.
