A special “Anti-Semitic Issue” of the “Nationalsozialist,” the Hitlerist organ, was published today. In an editorial giving an explanation of what the anti-Semites want, the paper says that technically the term anti-Semitism is not happy, because the anti-Semitic movement is directed only against the Jews and not against the entire Semitic race.
The anti-Jewish movement, it proceeds, is not a movement of hatred or of arbitrary aggression, but a movement of Nationalist defence. The anti-Aryan movement of the Jews, it says, is much more in the nature of aggression against the national life of all the Aryan peoples of Europe. The anti-Semite, it states, does not want to eat ten Jews for his breakfast and hang a Jew on every lamp post. He only wants to separate the members of the German nation and the members of the Jewish nation in all branches of German life. He is opposed to the Judaisation of Germany.
“There are over 400 Jewish writers and poets in Germany,” the paper says, “who are helped by the Jewish publishing houses and theatres, to achieve the success which they deny the poets of German blood, who are artistically a thousand times more important. The most powerful publishing houses, S. Fischer, Ullstein, Mosse, Kurt Wolff, are all Jewish. Ninety-five percent of all the daily newspapers, monthlies and humorous publications are Jewish. Ninety-eight percent of all theatres in Germany are directed by Jews.
“The number of unbaptized Jews who hold professorships and lectureships at German universities is tremendous. As for the number of baptized Jews at the German universities, it is legion. With the Jews forming less than two percent of the German population,” the paper declares, “this is a most unwholesome predominance of the Jewish spirit in German cultural life. Practically all the philosophical and literary societies, with the exception of the Shakespeare Society, are overwhelmingly Jewish. Practically all the literary prize endowment foundations are Jewish. The power of Jewish money has broken the power of the German spirit,” the paper states.
