Although Jews have been prohibited from voting in today’s election, all Germany was ordered to sing a hymn translated from the Dutch in 1877 by Josef Weyl, a Jewish poet.
The hymn, known as the “Dutch Prayer of Thanks,” was to be sung as soon as Fuehrer Hitler completed his election speech at Cologne.
