Description

This text is a summary of an Arabic language radio program for North Africa. The announcer talks about the Berlin Mosque, built for the religious needs of Muslim prisoners. Germany wanted “to improve the moral and material situation of these poor Muslim prisoners, innocent victims who only want to return to their land in Africa”. The orator puts the allies on trial: France and England have opened the way to spoliation and enslavement in the colonies; and he extols the virtues of the German people. According to the announcer, Muslims live separate from other prisoners in the German concentration camp and receive preferential treatment.
