Germany must be vaccinated with National Socialism against alien race influence, Cornelius Berntz, president of the Federation of Thuringian Traders, told a conference of the organization at Grunstadt.
“The economic policy of our leader is based on the race problem and on the concept of blood and soil,” Herr Berntz declared. “The task of the day is to cleanse the well, to remove the racial influence of the Jews from the German nation.
“It is essential to bear in mind,” he said, “that the Jewish problem cannot be solved in one year. It has not arisen because of opposition to the Jewish religion. It is the race that we fight because it strives to impose upon us false Jewish conceptions of life. For that reason it must be eliminated from German life. We have nothing against the Jewish concepts, if only this alien race would leave us alone and practice its own beliefs in another country.
“Reproaches levelled against us that we have become tolerant toward the Jews is without foundation,” Herr Berntz said.
“Our goal is a pure national body without any traces of alien race blood.”
