ti-Nazi League To Champion
Human Plights. It was founded
in 1933, about half a year after
Hitler seized power in Germany.
In its earlier days, its chief act
ivity was the boycott of German
made goods. The war has made
that a dead issue and since then
the League has been moving into
fields which were previously aux
iliary to the boycott—chiefly in
vestigations of subversives and of
employment discrimination.
The League was founded, under
the name of the League To Cham
pion Human Rights, by a group
headed by the late Samuel Unter
meyer, with the fight against the
Nazis as its chief purpose, and
the boycott of Nazi goods and
services its main weapon. From
its inception, the League, which
advocated the economic boycott
as a substitute for war, met with
opposition from some of those

ous action to this very day. The
“sha-sha” Jews who have been
leading lights of the American
Jewish Committee opposed the
boycott on the grounds that it
would antagonize Hitler and make
it impossible to get him to see
the error of his ways.
They Banned Business with Hitler
The boycott was carried on
and Hitler showed them, and
their counterparts in Germany,
ho wmuch negotiation was pos
sible with him. But in 1939, the
war and the blockade made the
boycott conducted by a private
agency a much less important in
strument, and with Pearl Harbor,
the League’s boycott became un
necessary. However, the League
has continued in existence, con
centrating on new objectives and
methods.
The League is different in struc
ture from most other groups
fighting anti-Semitism and in
tolerance. Most of them go un
der the name of Council or Com
mittee and consist of fairly small
groups of interested citizens who
have banded together to promote
a particular action. The League,
