Speaking at a Nazi rally in the Templehoff Airport here last night, Alfred Rosenberg, spiritual head of the Third Reich, declared that Jews represent a menace to the whole world.
“By relaxing its treatment of the Jews,” he stated, “Germany will earn not gratitude, but the condemnation of the whole world.”
In a speech preceding Rosenberg’s, Paul Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda and Enlightenment, said that “bourgeois Jewry is again too much in evidence.”
“We don’t want the Jew,” he declared. “He has nothing to look for in the community of German people. We request him to adapt himself to the rules of hospitality and not to conduct himself as though he were an equal.
“If the Jew seeks to intimidate us through the medium of the foreign press,” he went on to say, “our answer is: ‘We know that little game and won’t be fooled. Our extended contacts with the Jews of the German press has made us wise’.”
