Der Stuermer of Nuremburg, notorious anti-Semitic weekly, yesterday appeared with alleged “details” of what it called “the Jewish plot to murder Adolf Hitler.” Twelve pages were devoted to discussion of “Jewish ritual murder,” climaxed with the assertion that the Jews are planning the biggest and most gruesome ritual murder against Hitler and his followers ever witnessed by the world.
The rest of the paper was devoted to the usual fulminations against the Jews and assurances that the “dastardly Jewish plot would not succeed.” Streicher asserted that the Czar of Russia was the victim of a plot similar to the one being planned against Hitler. He advocated “tireless anti-Semitism” as the best means of guarding against “Jewish plots.”
