Probably many Jews just complied with all the new restrictions, not realizing the mortal danger that they were in. Anti-semitism had existed for centuries and the Jews had survived. It was not obvious to all that the Nazis were something entirely new.

In the article posted on 11/27, “Nazis in Final Phase of Their War on Jews,” the Nazi press is cited as saying that ghettoization is a preliminary step to the extermination of the German Jews. Here, a week later, the process begins.

I could not get a good copy of another sports article titled, “58,061 WATCH ROUT OF REDSKINS, 36-0. In that game the New York Football Giants won the Eastern Division title. That set up an NFL championship match between the Giants and Green Bay. The Cleveland-Pittsburgh game was to be played in Chattanooga according to last week’s paper. But they wound up playing in New Orleans. I wonder what the story behind that is.

For more than four decades, the area to which the Jews would have to move would be known as East Berlin.

Background on the Byron "Whizzer" White article:

After graduation he signed with the NFL's Pittsburgh Pirates (now Steelers), playing there during the 1938 season. He led the league in rushing his rookie season and became the game's highest-paid player.

He took 1939 off to study at the University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, but returned to play for the Detroit Lions from 1940–41.

In three NFL seasons, he played in 33 games. He led the league in rushing yards in 1938 and 1940, and he was one of the first "big money" NFL players, making $15,000 a year. His career was cut short when he entered the United States Navy during World War II; after the war, he elected to attend law school rather than returning to football. He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1954.

So the "one-season career" in '38 was referring to his upcoming Rhodes Scholarship year at Oxford.

Let’s see, if I am reading my Google maps correctly,

Herman Goering Strasse is now Ebertstrasse
Charlottenburger is now Strasse des 17e Juni
Kaiser Wilhelm is now Karl Liebknecht
Koenigstrasse is now Rathausstrasse
Linienstrasse is still the same.
Grenadier may be Rosa Luxemburg
