The Nizkor Project says the attempted boycott was declared in response to the anti-Semitic actions by Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler.[2]

Three days after the headline was published, a meeting of representatives of British Jews, the Jewish Board of Deputies, denied that there was a boycott against Germany.[3] Nevertheless, this article and related articles in the British and American press in spring 1933 were used in Nazi propaganda to justify the "Judenboykott," a boycott of Jewish merchants. The article and other documents of that time are still used by Holocaust deniers and far right activists as part of their claims about an alleged Jewish world conspiracy against Germans and the so-called Aryan race.
