The film entitled “The House of Rothschild,” now being shown here, is but another attempt on the part of the Jews to strengthen their position in the eyes of a world becoming more and more hostile to them, says Walter Ewald in the Westdeutsche Beobachter, prominent Nazi newspaper, in a recent issue.

“The solution of the Jewish question in Germany has found an echo throughout the world. In every country one now finds political groups discussing the Jewish question,” the writer says. He points to the Mosleyite Fascists here as the most apt students of Germany.

The Rothschild film, which “is being shown in London to the accompaniment of the shouts of the whole Jewish-influenced press” attempts to picture the banking family as “noble persons” who came upon their wealth “only indirectly.” says Ewald, but as a matter of fact, he “reveals,” they obtained their power through a series of swindles.

Naturally, the Nazi writer says, the Rothschilds saw to it that none of these exploits were mentioned in the annals of history, which is why a film such as the one in question could have been made and distributed in the hope that the ignorance of the spectators would protect the subjects of the picture.

The facts of the case differ from those presented in the film, Ewald declares, and proceeds to explain that the Rothschild family could only have gained a foothold at a time when Germany was ensnared in long drawn out wars and her ruling princes were unscrupulous money wasters.

“Had the Rothschilds lived in a healthy time, under a good government, they could never have established their family power; at the first swindle they would have wandered into jail,” asserts Ewald. He then goes into a lengthy “true history” of the family.

“The ‘Rothschild Case’ gives us much to think about,” he says in conclusion. “The time of the wars of liberation was a time of terrible need for the nation. The Jews profited by it…. Was it not exactly, the same a hundred years later, at the time of the World War?… The Rothschilds, so celebrated today, were the forerunners of the Kutiskers and the Barmats…. Perhaps Jewish impudence will bring to the astonished world of the future a Sklarek-film a hundred years from now.”
