Across The Frontiers pg. 187-188
In Berlin one still sees many Jews, and that is surprising, at first, to English people who are led to believe that most of them have fled from Germany, or keep very much in hiding. When I walked down the Kurfurstendamm street on a Sunday morning, there were great numbers of Jewish people taking the air, looking into the shop windows and going to their favorite restaurants. I noticed that on the shop fronts many of the names were Jewish, which seemed to indicate that their businesses were still being carried on. In the East End also there is still a large Jewish population who seem to be unmolested and were doing some kind of work providing the necessities of life.
Many of them looked fairly prosperous, and were at least sufficiently well to do to take their Sunday meal at one of the big restaurants in Berlin where I happened to go for my own. Every time the swing doors opened more Jewish folk came in--young men and women, or family groups wandering round the overcrowded rooms in search of tables. They did not look frightened or miserable, though there can be no real happiness for Jews in Germany, where their race is insulted and reviled, and where it becomes more and more difficult for them to earn a livelihood with any sense of security. That is one of the worst aspects of their plight. They have no security in any business or profession.
The net has been drawn very tightly around them. There are not many loopholes in the restrictions imposed upon them, at least in the professions. Doctors, lawyers, painters, literary men, professors, are told quietly but firmly that they must get out. They lose their clients, their students, their practices. There is nothing but ruin ahead.
It is not so hard, I was told, for small shopkeepers and Jewish people in small businesses, though hard enough, especially in small towns where everybody knows everybody else's actions and social standing, and where it is not good form, according to the Nazi creed, to buy things at a Jewish shop. This rule, however, is not strictly observed in bigger cities, and I know Germans who make a point of buying in those shops because they are sorry for the Jews and do not approve of this ostracism.
