A book called “Paradise Discovered” was recently published in Germany. the London Jewish Chronicle reports. The volume points out that paradise was situated in Pomerania, East Prussia. The author, Franz von Wendrin, declares that the Jews were “kept there as hunted and domestic animals” by the “gods,” Goths and old Germans. When the Jews tried to rebel they were expelled. Von Wendrin also states that the apple eaten by Adam and Eve was a German fruit, “they did not eat a banana or a date as they would have done in an Oriental paradise,” he says.
Herr von Wendrin also has discovered that Troy and the Odyssey were “glorious events in Prussian history,” but Homer, a Jew, “falsified the stories.”
The book has been officially recommended by the Prussian Minister of Education for school libraries.
