These examples were from the ANTI-NAZI BULLETIN from November 1939.
Death Threats In Mails
INVESTIGATORS FOR the Anti-Nazi League obtained several copies of
threatening postal cards sent openly through the United States mails
by a group calling itself the American Gentile Youth Movement. This
organization is non-existent, but the inflammatory material has been
extensively distributed by several pro-Nazi groups in New York City
and environs. The card reproduced below was turned over by the League
to Post Office Inspector in Charge, J. J. Doran, who will make an
investigation of the matter.
Threats of this nature have been sent by this same group in the past.
One, which is in tlse possession of the Anti-Nazi League was sent
to a refugee family in Yorkville, New York. As a result of this and
other persecutions, this family was forced to move from that section.
A letter sent by this same group was addressed to the refugee
Eichel family reading "As I was notify through a certain paper
that you left Yorkville... so Yorkville got to hot for you and
your louse Sara. Now what do you expect to get here in our
neighborhood??? you damn son of a—.”

Interesting story. It brought back a memory of a visit to my Aunt's bar in the 1970s. It was located in Ferguson, Missouri in a building that was built in the 1930s for the American Nazi Party. Across the top front of the building, using white bricks, were swastikas. The owner wished to preserve the building as is so he placed a billboard up that covered the emblems but did not hurt the structure. I remember being able to still see the swastikas by looking up under the giant Coke ad.
