An address of Chancellor Adolf Hitler was censored in the German press today for the first time since the Nazis came to power when anti-Jewish remarks he made addressing Nazi Party comrades in Munich were eliminated from newspaper accounts.
It was recalled that references to the Jews have been eliminated from belligerent speeches made recently by Air Minister Hermann Goering and Paul Joseph Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda and Enlightenment.
Chancellor Hitler, speaking in the Buergerbrau Keller, Munich, to commemorate the unsuccessful Nazi putsch of Nov. 9, 1923, recalled how the Nazis initiated their revolution and said that “today I am sure that a handful of Jews will not throw the Nazis from power in Germany regardless of what political changes they can make in Europe.
He described the Jews as “a stupid and insufferable nation.” He said there were three kinds of nations–the intelligent, the super-intelligent and the unintelligent. He classed the Germans in the second and the Jews in the third category.
