Default Theodor Fritsch's Foreword to his last Edition of the Protocols of Zion

Theodor Fritsch's Foreword to his last Edition of the Protocols of Zion


Theodor Fritsch was in many ways the greatest and most prolific of any anti-Semite who has every lived and has not been unjustly labelled the 'godfather' of German anti-Semitism. However his large corpus of work; that spanned some fifty years worth of writing, research and correspondence, has unfortunately remained untranslated into English and since 1945 has received little attention in spite of Fritsch's massive importance to the intellectual acceptance of anti-Semitism in the German-speaking world as well as being a major inspiration to the fledgling NSDAP of which he quickly became a member. Indeed one may remember that it was Fritsch who largely inspired Goebbels' anti-Semitism when the two met at the very beginning of Goebbels' and very end of Fritsch's respective careers as significant historical figures.

Fritsch's best-known contribution to the anti-Semitic corpus however is his central involvement in the transmission and propagation of the Protocols of Zion in Germany and Austria. Without Fritsch's campaign on behalf of the Protocols; a subject on which he and those associated with him wrote a great deal, it is unlikely that the Protocols would have been able to have had the influence they did, because it was Fritsch's 'Hammer Verlag' that kept them alive and fought back against the time of jewish abuse that was hurled against them.

Many of his arguments are now dated, but I think it is still important to lay before the world what Fritsch actually said and to this end I have translated his foreword to the 1933 edition of the 'Zionist Protocols'. (1)

To wit:

'Foreword to the 12th to 14th Edition

In the past few years: the policy of the "Elders of Zion" has been revealed for many unbelievers with awful clarity. The mask is falling! The Jew looks back at us from all around betraying themselves. In forging their strategic plans Judah has forgotten that; due to the nature of those plans, there will be a reaction and a resistance from the oppressed people: who have now openly joined in battle with them. This moment of natural reaction against Judah is now and the fighting has broken out across the world.

This resistance is now beginning to apply the new racial aspect of all the weapons at its disposal: the most powerful of these are education and enlightenment about the true reasons for the problems we face today. Part of this educational work is to be found in the dissemination of the "Zionist Protocols".

In 1931 the controversy was still unsettled: could the Protocols true? This was discussed in the Introduction and Afterword of that edition. Today we have confirmation of their authenticity.

The Swedish newspaper "Nation" has reprinted the speech made by the Chief Rabbi Dr. Marcus Ehrenpreis on 1st May 1932 in the synagogue in Stockholm and which was originally published in the "Judisk Tidsskrift". (2) We have reprinted the notorized translation from “Nation” below. (3)

It is important to say that the very honourable Chief Rabbi Dr. Marcus Ehrenpreis brings no dishonour to his name and does not tell his parishioners things that are not true. He has also given us the proof that is in your hands which establishes that the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" are true: for he speaks of Herzl's work as the "pre-established goal." As according to his own statement the goal of the Jews from Biblical times down to the present is to rule the world and it should be recorded here. Some may still doubt the “Protocols”, but the words of the Chief Rabbi establish their authenticity without doubt to all reasonable people.

The defensive method of the Jews; to attack the Protocols as a forgery and a lie, no longer works. Now these claims only help us and harm the Jews themselves in the long run.

In this new edition of the “Protocols” no changes have been made and the Introduction and Afterword have remained unchanged due to their intrinsic value. For clarity only the individual Protocols have been divided thematically as they frequently treat several areas at the same time.

Theodor Fritsch,
Leipzig 1933,

“An Enlightening Statement from the Jewish Times:

The program for Jewish world conquest; which Theodor Herzl the Founder of Zionism, brought forth at the Zionist Congress of Basel in 1897, that was compiled as "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" happened to come at a very appropriate time for the non-Jewish eyes of the world, which had come to a growing realisation of the importance of the Jewish Question.

For the plans; laid out in the program, have been shown to be extremely reflective of reality and to date practically all of the predictions they have made have come to pass. Of special interest to us Swedes is a statement regarding the decision by the Chief Rabbi of the Jewish community in Stockholm; Dr Marcus Ehrenpreis, who in-front of the Jewish Academic Club gave a speech destined to be reprinted in the Jewish Times. According to the aforementioned newspaper Dr Ehrenpreis said among other things: (4)

"We have during the past three to four decades become emancipated, but yet not fully free. They gave us liberty, but we did not have the courage to accept it in full. We should state that this applies for Eastern and Western Jews alike. Many could not stomach the freedom given to us and have to this day kept the fear of god's vengeance inside them. (5) There is unmotivated anxiety to be yourself and to use the freedom we've been given.

I participated along with Herzl in the First Zionist Congress in Basel in 1897. This congress is the most memorable of my all my life's experiences. Herzl held us together in a previously unfathomable way at this first Jewish World Conference. His work led to an agreed common goal.

As it was for the Prophets of Israel who saw the victory of the Persians before any others and decades before the events. So it is with Herzl that twenty years before we saw the first signs of the World War, (6) he warned us what would come. He had foreseen the destruction of Turkey as he had foreseen that England would take Palestine when Turkey fell. We stand in the presence of living history: as he said twenty years before the World War and saw how these events would open up new possibilities for the Jewish people. When he closed his eyes: he could die with knowledge that his work would live on.

Today; twenty-five years after his death, we can look at the consequences of his work. Fifty countries have given England the mission of sovereignty of Palestine and have admitted the historical connections of the Jewish people to that land. (7)

"This day we have removed the shame of Egypt from you".

And now the most important thing of all is now coming to pass. Now every faithful [Jewish] citizen can live and suffer in their homeland with our ancestors from whom we are descendants having the obvious right as well as the clear duty to participate in the work on behalf of Israel. (8) We now finally have clarity and it seems like a miracle. Happy is our generation who can experience this joyful event and whose consequences this moment alone can not encompass: the unification of the entire Jewish nation above religious and political differences.

In the book of our ancient history we are starting a new leaf."

(1) I have frequently altered Fritsch's literal text in order to preserve his meaning for an English speaking audience as I feel this is the best way to read him and also prevent the reader becoming hung up on oddities of expression.
(2) Best translated as 'Jewish Times'.
(3) Rather than translate the German translation of the original Swedish: Hans Blackthorne has translated the original Swedish text of the report into English.
(4) Compare to the not dissimilar reflections of the Baseler Rav who was instrumental to the conference in Arthur Cohn, 1972, 'Of Israel's Teachings and Destiny: Sermons, Studies and Essays', 1st Edition, Ahron Press: New York, pp. 111-119
(5) Ehrenpreis is talking about the fear of becoming too 'goyische' (like gentiles and therefore unjewish) by leaving the segregated life of many jewish communities and possibly destroying the jews by too much integration.
(6) World War One.
(7) This is a reference to the Treaty of Versailles and the agreements on the division of territory that were agreed before it and then ratified in large part by it.
(8) Ehrenpreis here does not mean 'Israel' as in the state, but 'Israel' in terms of Judaism or put more simply: the jewish nation. So he is basically calling his listeners to arms as members of the jewish nation to work for the creation of a jewish state in Palestine.
