Professor Johannes Stark, president of the Physiological – Technical Institute, former Nobel prize winner in physics, went on record today as being an opponent of "the Jewish way in science" which he described in terms of "dogmatic egoism".

The Germanic spirit, according to the speaker, "seeks objective truth". The Jewish spirit seeks to identify the self of the investigator with the object of the scientific research, he said.

"The days are past when a scientific worker who does not belong to a group led by Jews stands no chance of a professorship," he said.
