window panes the word ‘Jew...The
Kurfürstendamm was to me a revelation. I
knew that Jews were prominent in
business life, but I did not know that they
almost monopolized important branches of it.
Germany had one Jew to one hundred

Insanity Fair by Douglas Reed pg.152-3
Douglas Reed, Chief Central European correspondent before WWII for the London Times, was profoundly anti-German and anti-Hitler. But nevertheless he reported: “I watched the Brown Shirts going from shop to shop with paint pots and daubing on the window panes the word ‘Jew’, in dripping red letters. The Kurfürstendamm was to me a revelation. I knew that Jews were prominent in business life, but I did not know that they almost monopolized important branches of it. Germany had one Jew to one hundred gentiles, said the statistics; but the fashionable Kurfürstendamm, according to the dripping red legends, had about one gentile shop to ninety-nine Jewish ones.” (Reed Insanity Fair (1938) p. 152-3).
