The Jew in the arts, literature, and the press

[I leave five pages on Jews in the arts untranslated.]

[Lieferung 24 (December 1935)]

Even if all these things are indisputable, but must be accepted, there are still enough people today who believe that they have to defend the Jews. These people see the will to save the German people from the danger that threatens them because of this foreign element in its midst as if the Reich were only looking for a scapegoat for its problems. They believe that we are attempting to blame the Jew for everything bad in past years, and that hatred against "successful" Jews is the reason for it all.

Reichspropagandaleiter Dr. Goebbels gave the appropriate answer at the Reich Party Rally in 1933 when he said:

"It is not as if we are making the Jew the only person responsible for the German spiritual and economic catastrophe. We know all the other causes that led to the collapse of our people. But we also have the courage to recognize his role in the process, and to call it by its proper name."

We know well enough that the decline of the German people could be seen in various places even before the collapse of 1918, and that there were other reasons for Germany's fate. Everything cannot be blamed on Jewry and its effects. But we also know that many, many things along this catastrophic path were caused by the systematic work of the Jew, or encouraged by his best efforts. And we also know, and have had enough evidence in the past fourteen years of the System, that Jewish efforts were directed at the collapse of the German people, because only through that would the way be free to the goal Jewry had had from the beginning, namely Jewish dominance over Germany.

What happened between 1918 and 1933, however, is nearly 100% the fault of Jewry, even if in some individual areas of individual things the Jewish destructive work was indirect rather than direct.

The Führer's appointment as chancellor hit the Jewish camp like a bomb. And just this effect that the news had on Jewry is clear proof of the false, lying, and slanderous Jewish nature. Germany had not yet taken any measures against the Jewry after Adolf Hitler had been appointed, so no one knew what the future of the Jew would be in Germany. Nonetheless, a Jewish campaign of lies and slander against the new state began immediately throughout the world. Every day, thousands of sources around the world spread the most poisonous horror stories about the sufferings and persecution of the Jews in Germany. There were stories that thousands of Jewish men and women had been slaughtered; there were even pictures of these alleged events happening in Germany. The goal was to arouse the world's anger against Germany and its new leadership for these alleged oppressive and strangling measures against Jewry. Note that all this was occurring at a time when Germany had yet to take a single measure against Jewry. That was irrelevant for Jewry. Its cries against Germany were not intended to protect the physical and spiritual condition of its racial comrades in Germany, but rather they were intended only to regain the dominance over the German people that it had lost on 30 January 1933.

Jewry throughout the world knew that it could conduct its battle against National Socialist Germany only through lies, slander, distortion, and dirty tricks, for this race knows nothing about the love of truth, and it knew that truth could not rouse people against Germany, for nothing had been done, and nothing would be done, in Germany that could not stand the light of day, or that would give cause for anti-German attitudes.

Besides that, foreigners who came to Germany expecting to find hundreds of Jewish bodies piled up at the border crossing station were astonished when they not only did not find such things, but when they had to conclude that the rumors in the Jewish world press about the persecuted and oppressed German people were false, since they met a people that did not feel persecuted and oppressed. In fact, it was a people that had never felt so hopeful, or believed in its future so much as now, when it was under the "terrible, bloody Nazi dictatorship."

Well, what has been done to the Jewish population in Germany so far? In looking at these measures, even the last people's comrade and the last foreigner will have to grant that the National Socialist state had done nothing and demanded nothing unfair, particularly in comparison to the damage that the Jew did to Germany over the past fourteen years, and in comparison to the methods that Jewry has used to incite the whole world against Germany. The measures can only be termed harmless. They show that the German is not able to hate or take revenge, which the Jew, on the other hand, is a master of.

What has the National Socialist state done? Its measures have defended against the greed and arrogance of a tiny minority of the total population, and worked to protect the German people that has been entrusted to its care from Jewish greed and arrogance.

The corrections to the former condition were begun by the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service. Under this law, non-Aryans in the civil service were retired or released from positions. Measures corresponding to this law were taken in other professions as well, particularly for attorneys (notaries are civil servants), patent attorneys, doctors and dentists working with public insurance plans, and holders of volunteer positions in the welfare system. The "Aryan Paragraph" has also been extended to the Wehrmacht.

Not all non-Aryans have been removed from the professions mentioned. The rules regarding non-Aryans do not apply to those where were already working in their professions on 1 August 1914, for front soldiers of the World War, and the children, parents, and widows of non-Aryans front soldiers who fell in the war.

Civil servants in publicly supported religious organizations are also exempted. The positions of Jewish teachers and volunteers working in Jewish schools, or who were appointed under special regulations because of the fact that they were Jewish, are also not affected by the racial legislation.

Besides the measures discussed, the racial legislation must also ensure that Jewish influence be kept within the desired boundaries.

The civil servant legislation follows these lines. The Reich Civil Service Law of 31.3.1873 (as revised on 30.6.1933) states that only persons of Aryan descent may be appointed as civil servants, and that Reich civil servants who marry a person of non-Aryan descent be relieved of their positions. Non-Aryan persons can in exceptional services be appointed civil servants in cases of compelling national interest.

The Law against the Overcrowding of German Schools and Universities of 25.5.1933 is a further regulation affecting the Jews. This law deals with the imbalance between the need professions have for well-trained people and the actual attendance at upper-level schools and universities. The allowable percentage of Jewish pupils and students is fixed at a so-called quota of 1.5%.

The figure is somewhat above the percentage of Jews in the whole German population, which is 0.9%

The future make-up of the other professions is modeled after the guidelines for civil servants. One exception is that editors, and also the spouses of non-Aryan persons, can be approved if the marriage was concluded before 4.10.1933. That Jewish editors can work for Jewish newspapers is consistent with the spirit of the law, but is expressly stated in the Editors' Law.

There are special requirements only for the new farming class under the Reich Hereditary Farm Law. Under this law, a person with Jewish blood is not suitable to be a farmer. The applicable date is 1.1.1800 [that is, farmers had to demonstrate Aryan ancestry that far back]. This strict regulation to keep the blood pure from Jewish mixing is in no way a particular hardship for the Jews. Only 1.7% of all German Jews are employed in agriculture and forestry. Only a small percentage of them would meet the other qualifications necessary to be a farmer.

Finally, the law of 21.4.1933 requires that animals can be slaughtered according to Jewish ritual only after the animals have been anesthetized.

Besides these laws, there are the "Nuremberg Laws" approved by the Reichstag, meeting in Nuremberg, on 15.9.1935. The Reich Citizenship Law states that only Reich citizens enjoy full political rights, and that a Reich citizen may only be a person of German citizenship or of related blood who through his conduct proves that he is willing and able to loyally serve the German people and the Reich. The Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor bans marriages between Jews and citizens of German or related blood, and also regulates extramarital sexual relationships between those of Jewish and German blood. Through these last two requirements, the National Socialist state took a measure that Jewry followed strictly over the millennia of its existence, and demanded absolutely of those who belonged to its race and religion. The Jewish people followed this policy of racial separation strictly over hundreds of generations, proven by the fact that the Jewish people not only survived over the millennia but even increased in number. Now that the National Socialist state has applied the same requirements for Aryan people that Jewry has followed for millennia, Jewry is raising a cry against it throughout the whole world.

And what has been the result of these measures so far? The following statistics prove that the measures so far taken were only to alleviate the worst conditions, that is, to reduce the unacceptable numerical excess of the Jew in various areas.

Since the "Law on the Consolidation of the Legal Profession" of 7.4.1933 in Prussia, the number of non-Aryan attorneys has been reduced by 1,364; of them, 1,034 attorneys were terminated because of the law, and a further 280 for other reasons. There were 3,370 non-Aryan attorneys in Prussia as of 7.4.1933, so the number has been reduced by about one third. The percentage of non-Aryan attorneys in Prussia before "The Law Consolidation of the Legal Profession" was 28.8%; today it is still 18.4%. Of the 2,051 non-Aryan notaries in Prussia as of 7.4.1933, 1,055, or about half, have been terminated because of the Law on the Consolidation of the Legal Profession. In percentage terms, before the law 33% of notaries in Prussia were non-Aryan, today the figure is still 16.3%.

The statistics on doctors are as follows: At the start of the National Socialist revolution, there were 6,488 Jewish doctors in Germany. There were 50,000 doctors in Germany, so the Jewish percentage was 13%. Berlin alone had 3,000 Jewish doctors. Over the course of 1933, 578 emigrated. The total number of doctors who emigrated was less than 10%, so more than 90% remained in Germany. 1,667 non-Aryan doctors were excluded from health insurance plans, of whom nearly 500 emigrated. 1,199 remain in practice in Germany, and more than three times as many, 3,641, remain able to treat insured patients. The remaining 1,070 doctors are in part those who want to be approved, but the larger part are old or incompetent doctors, or doctors who for whatever reason in the past did not work with a health insurance plan.

Of the 5,900 Jewish doctors who still live in Germany today, 3,500 are general practitioners, and 2,400 are specialists. The average percentage of non-Aryan health insurance doctors, in comparison to the total number of doctors, is 11.4% today. Non-Aryan health insurance doctors are particularly represented in big cities. The average percentage there is about double that of the Reich as a whole. The big city average of 26% is significantly exceeded in a series of cities, namely Berlin with 43%, Breslau with 39.8%, Frankfurt (Main) with 38.7%, Hamburg with 28.9%, and Königsberg with 27%.

From these statistics, it is clear that even the the biggest friend of the Jews, if he is honest, has not the slightest grounds to speak of a persecution of the Jews, or even of "barbarism."

The National Socialist state has taken defensive measures to protect the German people and its race. On the other hand, if we look at the measures the Jews have taken throughout the world against the new Germany, and the way that the Jew has presented himself as a victim of persecution, depending on the stupidity, or at least the ignorance, of the world public, even the last people's comrade can see without difficulty how necessary the measures taken by the National Socialist state were.

Then there are the "concerns" that certain circles have as to whether it might not have been better, or still would be better, to give up on the Jewish Question. If the new Germany had followed this line of thinking, it would have given those who did all in their power to harm and weaken their host people over fourteen years the chance to continue their harmful activities. One does not need to discuss what would have become of the constructive activity of the new state, and what would have resulted.

A trial last winter in the Egyptian capital shows how Jewry would have conducted its subversive activity in Germany. Furthermore, the German people can see from this trial and its outcome before a so-called neutral court how just its defensive battle against the Jewish element is. This trial, which is of great significance for the new National Socialist Germany, and the National Socialist movement in particular, shows the hypocritical and criminal methods with which Jewry works to destroy its opponents. Jewry called this trial a conflict between Hitler-Germany and World Jewry from its beginning. This trial should be part of the armament of each National Socialist in his educational work about Jewry.

Some background to the trial. Shortly before the takeover of power, long before the point when Germany took its first measure that affected the Jewish population, the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service, the so-called Jewish League for the Defense against Anti-Semitism in Cairo sent the local press an open letter directed to the deputy prime minister. It called attention to "the great danger of National Socialism in Egypt." It should be noted that at this point, there were about twenty party members in all of Egypt and about 500 Germans, as opposed to 80,000 Jews. The open letter by itself showed the hypocritical manner in which Egyptian Jewry claimed that this handful of Germans was a danger.

This open letter was the signal for a full attack in the Jewish press and Jewish meetings against National Socialist Germany. Germans in Egypt, and National Socialists in particular, were slandered and abused in the crudest ways, and everything possible was done to persuade the government to take measures against the Germans. To give only one example, the Jewish press reported that one of its spies had taken part in the National Socialist birthday gathering for the Führer, and that in the refrain of the Host Wessel Song, the following words were sung: "When Jewish blood reddens the blades of our knives, our hearts are filled with pleasure and satisfaction."

Simultaneously, a boycott of Germans and German products began on 20 April 1933.

In response to this Jewish calumny, some German men published a pamphlet that laid out the reasons that the National Socialist government passed the Aryan legislation. This pamphlet was merely a collection of factual statistics that laid out Jewish foreign infiltration and the defensive measures taken against it. It was 13 1/2 pages long and written in German, so it was readable only by the very small circle of those who spoke German.

Jewry, however, believed that it could use this pamphlet to attack National Socialism in Germany. It believed that it had found in this mixed Cairo court [Egypt was still under partial British rule, and this was an international court], a place that, since it was ignorant of the true state of affairs, would have rule for the complainant, the Jew, and therefore give National Socialism a black eye in the whole world.

How was this done? First, the Jew who filed the suit had to feel injured, had to feel that his honor was wounded, by the pamphlet. With genuine Jewish cowardice, no one involved in the Jewish press campaign of libel took on the task, none of the editors or revolver-journalists of the Jewish newspapers appearing in Cairo, but rather a totally unknown Jewish moneychanger whose ancestry was anything but Egyptian. This little Jewish hoped for damages that would repair the damage to his wounded honor.

The reason that none of the leading Jews made the charge was that, following genuine Jewish methods of twisting the truth, if the case were lost, it could be presented not as a loss by World Jewry, but rather the loss of a case by some insignificant person.

That, however, did not stop Jewry in Egypt, and World Jewry in general, from using every available means to turn the trial into a Jewish victory and a defeat for National Socialism. Attorneys and legal experts were brought in from Paris. The Jewish press throughout the world focused on the trial, and all the Jewish newspapers ran big headlines about the reckoning with National Socialism that was going in in Cairo, which would finish it off. The victory dances over the assumed victory in the trial knew no limits, which made the outcome all the more terrible for them. The civil court, headed by an Italian, and with Egyptian and British judges, rejected the Jewish complaint as inadmissible. The moneychanger was ordered to pay the costs.

Jewry had at first believed that his mixed court in Cairo would be a willing tool of its agitation propaganda, which it flattered in the greatest possible way during the trial, but its attitude changed entirely after its total defeat. Now the Jewish press quickly said that it was really of no significance, that the judgment had no claim to validity.

Still, the Jews in Egypt, with the support of all of World Jewry, could not resist from appealing the civil court's decision. The decision of the appeals court, headed by a Belgian, and with panel consisting of an Englishman, an Italian, and two Egyptians, came to the same conclusion as in the first trial.

For Germany and the German people, this trial made clear how correct the Führer's actions, and his attitude toward this Asiatic-Negroid race, are. During the previous fourteen years, Germany had daily experienced within its own borders what played out in the months of the trial in Cairo: Jewish lies, slanders, distractions, insinuations, etc. The Führer's takeover of power not only cleansed the German justice system, it cleansed all of German life. The National Socialist government also provides the guarantee that such things as happened in the previous fourteen years in Germany, and in the Cairo trial, will be impossible in the future. It is important that independent and unbiased foreigners, the head and judges of the mixed court in Cairo, recognized the truth and correctness of the National Socialist battle against its oppressor, Jewry, and in its verdict came down on the side of persecuted Germandom.

Because of the education work of the Führer and the National Socialist movement, the German people has learned to recognize the role of the Jew in Germany. Over the two and a half years that National Socialism has ruled Germany, it has proven that despite the endless chicaneries, oppression, and persecutions that it endured, particularly during the System Era, it is responding not with hatred or revenge, but merely wants to guarantee its own possessions and its own future. It demands only a reduction of the influence of this foreign race to a level appropriate to its percentage relative to the German people, and that in those positions and occupations that determine the fate of the German people, only members of its own race be allowed. It would never occur to the Jew to make non-Jews judges in a Jewish national state, or to let them determine that fate of the Jews. We claim for ourselves only that same right, that the German people in Germany be ruled by German people.
