The overriding question
now becomes one of determining where the Jews [the author is of Catholic/Protestant
derivation] fit into this scenario for most assuredly millions believe
their role was of primary importance and supersedes all others. If
destruction of Marxism was of far greater importance to the Nazis than
eradication of the Jews, then why did so many Jews die at the hands of
the Nazis. Why were they persecuted; what had they done to warrant
such ghastly abuse. The answer to this rational inquiry, like so
many questions involving the Nazi era, lies most readily in the writings
of the chief malefactor himself. But first some background information
is needed.
While growing up in Austria and Germany Hitler and many of his
compatriots became alienated from Marxism and socialism for a wide variety
of reasons both personal and social. As their hatred grew and they
closely observed communists and their political parties in action, one
startling revelation repeatedly came to the fore. They could not
help but notice the very high proportion of Jews leading Marxist parties
and Marxist movements throughout Europe, and even a Marxist nation, compared
to their percentage of the general population. At home in Germany
the Marxist leaders were Rosa Luxembourg and Karl Liebknecht both Jews.
The Hungarian Communist revolution was led by Bela Kun, a Jew. And
most importantly the leadership of the Soviet government contained a very
high percentage of Jews compared to their percentage of the total population
including such prominent figures as: Trotsky, Zinoviev, Kamenev, Kaganovich,
Rykov, Bukharin, Sverdlov, Uritsky, and many others. And, of course,
the Nazis were acutely attuned to the fact that Karl Marx himself was a
Jew. So what did the Nazis conclude from this electrifying realization?
They came to the rather simple deduction that the best and most effective
means by which to eradicate Marxism was to eliminate those carrying the
message. If you destroy the messenger the message will die on the
vine. Thus, they embarked upon their anti-Semitic campaign with full
vigor. The race question was quite secondary from the outset.
Had it been primarily a race issue the Jews never would have been liquidated
in numbers greatly exceeding those of all others. If race had been
the central issue, then all people of non-Aryan, non-Nordic extraction
would have been slaughtered in equal proportions. Yet, when the Nazis
conquered all of Eastern Europe and most of the Western Soviet Union they
did not exterminate tens of millions of slavs. When they conquered
Tunisia, Libya, and Algeria in North Africa, the North African Arabs inhabiting
those regions were not slaughtered in mass, despite the fact that they
were clearly non-Aryan. If race were the primary consideration, there
would have been no Anti-Comintern pact signed with the Asiatic Japanese
who were definitely non-Aryan and deemed inferior by the the Nazis.
That act was sufficient within itself to prove the race issue was clearly
of less concern than fighting Marxism by any means possible.
No, there was one factor that set the Jews apart from all the other non-Aryan
groups and that was the Nazi belief that they were the prime propagandists
for Marxism. That is what prompted the mass executions and treks
to the gas chambers. That is what prompted the deaths of millions.
The belief by the Nazis that Jews were the purveyors of Marxism is what
instigated the Holocaust. This thesis comes through all too clearly
in the writings and speeches of Hitler himself and for that reason extensive
coverage is warranted. The message that comes through repeatedly
from the writings and speeches of the 20th Century’s worst demagogue is
that he considered Jews to be the prime proponents of Marxism and for that
reason they must be liquidated. Of that there can be no doubt.
In an interview with
Mr. Baillie of the United Press Hitler was asked what were the reasons
for the Nuremberg legislation.
He replied:
Nearly
all Bolshevist agitators in Germany had been Jews: only a few miles separated
Soviet Russia from Germany, and continuous, effective measures were needed
to protect Germany from the intrigues of the agents of Bolshevism who were
for the most part Jews.
HITLER'S SPEECHES

In a dialogue with
Otto Wegener Hitler said:
Earlier,
you mentioned the situation of the Jews in Soviet Russia. You call
the Jews' participation in the Bolshevik revolution "midwifery."
Let us make no mistake! Thanks to Jews, socialist movements all over
the world have turned into mechanisms of battle against the organic development
of the peoples! Their influence on nations is not constructive but
destructive. They love the socialist idea, not for the sake of the
idea, but for the possibility of using the concept to win over the discontented
masses to the struggle against the indigenous Volk leadership.

A CONFIDANT, by Otto Wegener, 1985, page 167
In Nuremberg on 6 September
1938:

In a proclamation at

doctrine. We studied its abominable methods and warned against its

Marxism was labeled
a weapon of the Jews:
Slowly the fear of the Marxist weapon of Jewry sinks into the brains and
souls of decent people like a nightmare.
MEIN KAMPF, Adolph
Hitler, New York, Reynal & Hitchcock, 1939, page 447
Hitler repeatedly propagated
the message that the Left movement in general, Social-Democracy, is propagated
by the Jews:
They
all were Jews from the publishers downwards. I took all the Social
Democratic pamphlets I could get hold of and traced the names of their
authors: they all were Jews. I memorized the names of all the leaders;
the greater part of them were also members of the "chosen people"; no matter
if they were representatives of the Reichsrat or secretaries of the unions,
presidents of organizations or street agitators. One always found
the same uncanny picture. The names Austerlitz, David, Adler, Ellenbogen,
and so forth, will remain in my memory forever.
MEIN KAMPF, Adolph
Hitler, New York, Reynal & Hitchcock, 1939, page 80
The
scales dropped from my eyes when I found the Jew as the leader of Social
Democracy. This put an end to a long internal struggle.
MEIN KAMPF, Adolph
Hitler, New York, Reynal & Hitchcock, 1939, page 78
I
gradually realized that the Social Democratic press was headed primarily
by Jews; but I did not attach special importance to this fact, as it was
the same with the other newspapers. But one thing struck me: there
was not one paper that employed Jews which had a really national tendency,
as I understood it, based on my education and attitude.
Now, although I made an effort and tried to read these Marxian products
of the press, my aversion was intensified; I tried to get better acquainted
with the producers of this mass of knavery.
MEIN KAMPF, Adolph
Hitler, New York, Reynal & Hitchcock, 1939, page 79
Now
I began to learn again, and now for the first time I came to the understanding
of the contents and the meaning of the life-work of the Jew Karl Marx.
Only now his "Capital" became really comprehensible to me, as well as Social
Democracy's fight against the national economy, the aim of which is to
prepare the ground for its domination of the truly international finance
and stock exchange capital.
MEIN KAMPF, Adolph
Hitler, New York, Reynal & Hitchcock, 1939, page 289
In his closing speech
at the Nuremberg Parteitag of 1937 Hitler unambiguously demonstrated that
he considered Russia to be a Jew’s dominion and Jews to be the agents of
world Marxism by saying:
During
the course of last year we have shown by means of a whole series of staggering
statistical proofs that in Soviet Russia today--a proletarian State--over
98 percent of the leading positions are held by Jews: that means that it
is not the proletariat which is dictator but that race whose Star of David
has at last also become the symbol of the so-called proletarian State....
On many points at that time the Jewish World Press and also the Press of
Soviet Russia, i.e. of Soviet Judea, made its comment, but on this statistical
proof of the general Jewish leadership of the 'State of Workers and Peasants'
not a word was said. They had to keep silent. Here there was
nothing they could lie away or distort, but for other peoples there was
indeed the danger of the revelation.
HITLER'S SPEECHES
by Norman Baynes, 1942, VOLUME 1, Page 700
Hitler depicted the
Comintern as a Jewish front by saying:
Rather,
I see Jewry's determination to use Russia as a springboard from which to
direct the removal of the existing order in other nations as well!
For the organization of the Comintern is purely Jewish!
HITLER--MEMOIRS OF
A CONFIDANT, by Otto Wegener, 1985, page 167
And he portrayed the
Left in Germany as nothing more than a Jewish conspiracy.
In Nuremberg on 13 September
1937:
And incidentally, we have all experienced the same thing in Germany, too,
of course. Who were the leaders of our Bavarian soviet republic?
Who were the leaders of Spartacus? Who were the real financial backers
and leaders of our Communist Party? Now that is something even the
most well-meaning Mister World-Democrat can neither do away with nor change:
it was none other than the Jews! That is the case in Hungary, too,
and in that part of Spain which the truly Spanish people has not yet recaptured.
HITLER, [Speeches
and Proclamations], by Max Domarus, Vol. 2, page 940
In his closing speech
at the Parteitag in Nuremberg in 13 September 1936, which was devoted primarily
to an explanation of the hostility of the Third Reich to Bolshevism, the
Frankfurter Zeitung reports Hitler as having said:
...and
thus they may fall victim to that Weltanschauung [world view] which we
do certainly without any qualifications stand in deadly enmity --Bolshevism!
... we are forced to regard Bolshevism even beyond our frontiers as our
mortal enemy and to see in its advance a no less threatening danger....
[Hitler then attacked
Russia on the familiar ground that 98 percent of all its officials were
Jews and that this was the rule in Bolshevist Governments, e.g. in the
Communist Republic in Munich.]
HITLER'S SPEECHES
by Norman Baynes, 1942, VOLUME 1, Page 673
To Hitler the
Jews were devils spreading Marxism:
Influenced by the experiences of everyday life, I myself began to trace
the sources of the Marxist doctrine. Its workings had become clear
to me in detail, my observant eye daily watched its success, and with a
little imagination I was able to picture its consequences. The only
remaining question was whether its founders imagined the result of their
creation in its ultimate form, or whether they themselves were victims
of an error.
... the instigators of this
national illness must have been devils incarnate; only in the brains of
a monster--not in the brains of a human being--could the plan for an organization
take shape and meaning, an organization whose activity must lead to the
ultimate collapse of human culture and with it the devastation of the world.
MEIN KAMPF, Adolph
Hitler, New York, Reynal & Hitchcock, 1939, page 82
He both blamed and
denounced Jewish infiltrating agitators for stirring up the masses with
Marxist ideology and contended in the Reichstag on 15 September 1935:
We
are further compelled to note that here, as elsewhere, it is almost exclusively
Jewish elements which are at work as instigators of this campaign to spread
animosity and confusion among the peoples.
HITLER, [Speeches
and Proclamations], by Max Domarus, Vol. 2, page 705
At the annual Party
Congress on 11 September 1935:
Wherever
we look, we see everywhere around us the ferments of decomposition, the
elements of dissolution. Endless strikes, lockouts, street-fighting, destruction,
hatred and civil war; rootless Jewish-international wandering scholars
are infiltrating the nations, educating against all healthy common sense
and whipping up hostility among the people. Under the guise of representing
the interests of the classes, they are putting a civil war in motion which
will lead only to the utmost satisfaction of their own interests.
And we are witnessing the consequences. In a world which should actually
live in affluence, need reigns.
HITLER, [Speeches
and Proclamations], by Max Domarus, Vol. 2, page 693
Worker hatred of the
owners and bosses allegedly exists according to Hitler not because of actual
conditions but because Jewish propaganda was all persuasive.
In a speech on Race and
Economics delivered on 24 April 1923 Hitler stated:
And
so the Jewish leaders succeeded in hammering into the minds of the masses
the Marxist propaganda: "Your deadly foe is the bourgeois, if he were not
there, you would be free." If it had not been for the boundless blindness
and stupidity of our bourgeoisie the Jew would never have become the leader
of the German working-classes.
HITLER'S SPEECHES
by Norman Baynes, 1942, VOLUME 1, Page 61
Hitler spared no effort
to convince others that the Jews were spreading Marxism not in order to
improve the welfare of the working masses but merely to feather their own
nests and enhance their status. Marxism was supposedly being used
merely as a mechanism by which to take over and rule.
Hitler maintained:
He
[the Jew] approaches the worker, pretends to have pity on him, or even
to feel indignation at his lot of misery and poverty, in order more easily
to gain his confidence in this way. He takes pains to study all the
actual (or imagined) hardships of his life--and to awaken a longing for
changing such an existence. In an infinitely sly manner, he stimulates
the need for social justice, dormant in every Aryan, to the point of hatred
against those who have been better favored by fortune, and thus he gives
the fight for the abolition of social evils a definite stamp of a view
of life. He founds the Marxist theory.
MEIN KAMPF, Adolph
Hitler, New York, Reynal & Hitchcock, 1939, page 440
In a speech on 28 July
1922 in Munich:
More
and more so to influence the masses he persuaded those of the Right that
the faults of the Left were the faults of the German workmen, and similarly
he made it appear to those of the Left that the faults of the Right were
simply the faults of the so-called "Bourgeois," and neither side noticed
that on both sides the faults were the result of a scheme planned by alien
devilish agitators. And only so is it possible to explain how this
dirty joke of world history could come to be that Stock Exchange Jews should
become the leaders of a Workers Movement. It is a gigantic fraud:
world history has seldom seen its like.
MY NEW ORDER
by Adolph Hitler, Edited by de Sales, 1941, page 33
In Hitler’s proclamation
read at the Nuremberg Parteitag on 7 September 1937:
The revolution of society which has been the work of Bolshevism means nothing
else than the destruction of those intelligences which are native to a
people and their substitution by the parasitic race of the Jews....
When the Jewish-Bolshevist agitators,
calculating on the small intelligence and inadequate education of the masses
in this sphere, had declared the social question to be exclusively a question
of wages, they were in a very short time able to create that tension between
wages and prices which favored the execution of their plan for a Bolshevist
revolution in society. While through strikes and terrorism on the
one side wages appeared continuously to rise, on the other side prices
necessarily rose as a consequence of the maintenance of production on the
same level or even of its shrinkage in volume. The rise in prices
produces discontent, for "it is then easy for the Jewish-Marxist agitators
to represent any rise in wages as the work of a Bolshevism or a Marxism
inspired by social sympathies, while the consequential rise in prices is
presented as the accursed plan of a capitalism rotten to the core, i.e.
a plan of the enemies of Marxism.
HITLER'S SPEECHES
by Norman Baynes, 1942, VOLUME 1, Page 685
Hitler not only accused
the Jews of capitalizing on worker discontent but actually alleged they
manufactured the primary cause--unemployment.
In his closing speech
at the Nuremberg Parteitag of 1937 he said:
For whole decades in our land, too, this Jewry has used the Marxist parties
of the proletariat as its battering-ram, but not against the parasites
upon our national and economic life--No, on the contrary, the battering-ram
was to be used in the service of the parasites and always and only against
our national production. It attacked this national production for
so long a time that at last upon our streets there were 7 million unemployed.
And all this only in the hope that from these 7 million unemployed it might
still at last be possible to raise the army of the Bolshevist Revolution,...
HITLER'S SPEECHES
by Norman Baynes, 1942, VOLUME 1, Page 701
And he attributed the
destruction of nations to Jewish agents destroying peoples’ trust in religion
and morals.
On 20 April 1923 the Fuhrer
said:
What
then are the specifically Jewish aims? To spread their invisible
State as a supreme tyranny over all other States in the whole world.
The Jew is therefore a disintegrator of peoples. To realize his rule
over the peoples he must work in two directions: in economics he dominates
peoples when he subjugates them politically and morally: in politics he
dominates them through the propagation of the principles of democracy and
the doctrines of Marxism--the creed which makes a Proletarian a Terrorist
in the domestic sphere and a Pacifist in foreign policy. Ethically
the Jew destroys the peoples both in religion and in morals. He who
wishes to see that can see it, and him who refuses to see it no one can
help. The Jew, voluntarily or involuntarily, consciously or unconsciously,
undermines the foundation on which alone a nation can exist.
HITLER'S SPEECHES
by Norman Baynes, 1942, VOLUME 1, Page 59
Jewish intellectualism
was portrayed as the guiding hand of subversion and Hitler expounded this
premise at the annual harvest celebration on the Buckeberg on 30 September
1934:
So
long as Jewish intellectualism is poisoning our life, there is no security
for the survival of the peasant and of the working classes in Germany.
HITLER'S SPEECHES
by Norman Baynes, 1942, VOLUME 1, Page 904
Jewish intellectualism
was not only subverting the nation but supposedly destroying the native
intelligentsia like some spreading cancer. Needless to say, Hitler
almost never submitted specifics to buttress his plethora of unsubstantiated
charges, allegations, and accusations. Humanity was just supposed
to take his word for it in much the same manner humanity is supposed to
accept the word of the Bushites when it comes to the alleged all pervasive
influence, control, and infiltration of al Qaeda and its allied terrorists.
With respect to undermining
the native intelligentsia Hitler said in a speech on 28 July 1922 in Munich:
And
this fact gave the Jew his opportunity with the parties of the Left.
Here he played the part of the common demagogue. Two means enabled
him to drive away in disgust the whole intelligentsia of the nation from
the leadership of the workers.
First: his international attitude, "for the native intelligence of the
country is prepared to make sacrifices, it will do anything for the life
of the people, but it cannot believe in the mad view that through the denial
of that national life, through a refusal to defend the rights of one's
own people, through the breaking down of the national resistance to the
foreigner, it is possible to raise up the people and make it happy.
That it cannot do, and so it remained at a distance.
And the Jew's second instrument was the Marxist theory in and for itself.
For directly one went on to assert that property as such is theft, directly
one deserted the obvious formula that only the natural wealth of a country
can and should be common property, but that that which a man creates or
gains through his honest labor is his own, immediately the economic intelligentsia
with its nationalist outlook could, here too, no longer co-operate: for
this intelligentsia was bound to say to itself that this theory meant the
collapse of any human civilization whatever. Thus the Jew succeeded
in isolating this new movement of the workers from all the nationalist
elements....
MY NEW ORDER
by Adolph Hitler, Edited by de Sales, 1941, page 32
In Nuremberg on 13
September 1937:
While one part of the "Jewish fellow citizens" demobilizes democracy via
the influence of the press or even infects it with their poison by linking
up with revolutionary manifestations in the form of peoples' fronts, the
other part of Jewry has already carried the torch of the Bolshevist revolution
into the midst of the bourgeois-democratic world without even having to
fear any substantial resistance. The final goal is then the ultimate
Bolshevist revolution, i.e. not, for example, consisting of the establishment
of a leadership of the proletariat by the proletariat, but of the subjugation
of the proletariat under the leadership of its new and alien master.
Once the incited, insane masses--gone wild and supported by the asocial
elements released from the prisons and penitentiaries--have exterminated
the natural, indigenous intelligence of the peoples and brought them to
the scaffolds to bleed to death, what will remain as the last bearer of--albeit
miserable--intellectual knowledge is the Jew. For one thing should
be made clear here: this race is neither spiritually nor morally superior,
but in both cases inferior through and through. For unscrupulousness
and irresponsibility can never be equated with a truly brilliant disposition.
In terms of creativity, it is an untalented race through and through.
For this reason, if it seeks to rule anywhere for any length of time, it
is forced to undertake the extermination of the former intellectual upper
classes of the other peoples. Otherwise it would naturally be defeated
by their superior intelligence within a very short time. That is
because, in everything that has to do with true accomplishment, they have
always been bunglers, and bunglers they will remain. In the past
year, we have shown in a series of alarming statistical proofs that, in
the present Soviet Russia of the proletariat, more than 80 percent of the
leading positions are held by Jews.
HITLER, [Speeches
and Proclamations], by Max Domarus, Vol. 2, page 939
After reading one of
Hitler’s pronouncements or tirades one is nearly always inclined to pose
some simple but fundamental questions: Where are your facts for substantiation,
how do you reconcile contradictory information, and how do you answer the
following questions. The Bushites and their predecessors often spawn
the same reaction.
A common Hitlerian proposition fostering just this kind of reaction
is the assertion that Marxist or proletarian dictatorships are merely a
surreptitious cover for Jewish dictatorships in which Jews are merely serving
their own ends in the guise of serving the working masses.
In his closing speech at
the Nuremberg Parteitag of 1937 Hitler said:
It
is true that we regard the rest of the world as being in a very dangerous
position, because it consciously shuts its eyes when faced with this question
and above all refuses to see that the Dictatorship of the Proletariat is
nothing else but the Dictatorship of Jewish intellectualism.
HITLER'S SPEECHES
by Norman Baynes, 1942, VOLUME 1, Page 699
In
the political sphere, however, he [the Jew] begins to replace the idea
of democracy by that of dictatorship of the proletariat.
In the organized
mass of Marxism he has found the weapon which makes him now dispense with
democracy and which allows him, instead, to enslave and to "rule" the people
dictatorially with the brutal fist.
MEIN KAMPF, Adolph
Hitler, New York, Reynal & Hitchcock, 1939, page 449
In Berlin on 26 April
1942:
We
know the theoretical principle and cruel truth about the aims of this world
plague [Bolshevism]. It is called the "rule of the proletariat";
it is the "dictatorship of Jewry." It is the elimination of national
leadership and the people's intelligence. It is the domination of
the proletariat, deprived of its leaders and thus defenseless, by the Jewish-international
criminals alone. The things that happened in Russia on such a horrifying
scale-- the extermination of innumerable millions of leading personages--was
to continue in Germany. If this intention failed, the reasons were
our people's healthy power of resistance and the lack of courage on the
Bolshevik side--led exclusively by Jews--and lack of unanimous consent
on the part of the proletariat. Nevertheless, some parts of the Reich
experienced those conditions, during which many an idealist was killed.
The curse of this work of Satan weighed heavily upon Hungary; there, too,
it was possible to break the power of Jewish violence only by the nation
resorting to force....
HITLER'S WORDS, by
Adolph Hitler, Edited by Gordon Prange, 1944, page 83
Also Marxism had a goal, and even knows a constructive activity (although
it relates merely to the establishment of a despotism of international
world finance, Jewry!);...
MEIN KAMPF, Adolph
Hitler, New York, Reynal & Hitchcock, 1939, page 674
Another reason for
Hitler’s intense hatred of Jews was his belief that Jews not only denigrated
the role of the individual and substituted the role of the mass but ignored
the aristocratic aspect of nature by substituting mere numbers for force
and strength:
While
thoroughly studying the Marxist doctrine of and by looking at the Jewish
people's activity with calm clarity, destiny itself gave me the answer.
The Jewish doctrine of Marxism rejects the aristocratic principle in nature;
instead of the eternal privilege of force and strength, it places the mass
of numbers and its deadweight. Thus it denies the value of the individual
in man, disputes the meaning of nationality and race, depriving mankind
of the assumption for its existence and culture.
MEIN KAMPF, Adolph
Hitler, New York, Reynal & Hitchcock, 1939, page 83
And he blamed the Jews
for Germany’s defeat in WWI, a stretch in thought only Hitlerites can attain.
In a speech in Munich on
13 April 1923:
Who was it that in 1912, as in the last year of the war, infatuated the
German people with his theory that if Germany throws down her arms the
whole world will follow her example--who?--the democratic-Marxist Jew who
at the same hour incited and still today incites the others to--arm and
to subjugate "barbarous" Germany.
MY NEW ORDER

Hitler portrayed himself
as Germany’s savior from the Jewish/Bolshevist plague both economically
and socially in a manner resembling that utilized by Bush lecturing on
his protection of Americans from the al Qaeda/terrorist threat and his
amelioration of the negative financial impact of the World Trade Center’s
destruction.
In a proclamation at a party
convention on 9 September 1936 the Fuhrer stated:
But
while these Jewish-bolshevistic baiters and revolution mongers talked and
showed a preference for applying an incendiary torch to human culture,
National Socialist Germany...has striven to rehabilitate its national economy,
protect the lives of its people, and insure its economic future.

Speaking in Berlin
on 6 October 1936, at the opening of the Winter Help Appeal:
Today
Moscow can send into Germany her ridiculous phrases; the whole pack of
Bolshevist Jews can send their stale old lies. They will befool our
people no more!
HITLER'S SPEECHES
by Norman Baynes, 1942, VOLUME 1, Page 682
According to Hitler
in his New Year's Proclamation on 1 January 1938 cooperation among the
people will bring down the Jews:
It
is this new framework of true cooperation between the peoples which will
ultimately be the downfall of the Jewish-Bolshevist world revolt!
HITLER, [Speeches
and Proclamations], by Max Domarus, Vol. 2, page 996
And removal of the
Jewish element will promote community spirit according to the following
comment in his closing speech at the Nuremberg Parteitag of 12 September
1938:
When
the question is still put to us why National Socialism fights with such
fanaticism against the Jewish element in Germany, why it pressed and still
presses for its removal then the answer can only be: Because National Socialism
desires to establish a true community of the people.... Because we
are National Socialists we can never suffer an alien race which has nothing
to do with us to claim the leadership of our working people.
HITLER'S SPEECHES
by Norman Baynes, 1942, VOLUME 1, Page 735
Again no facts are
supplied, only suppositions and conjectures.
Hitler was a devoutly
religious man and, as with Bush fighting “terrorists” and al Qaeda, that
contributed mightily to his belief that his war on the Jews was doing God’s
work:
Should
the Jew with the help of his Marxist faith prevail over the peoples of
this world, his crown will be the burial wreath of humanity and this planet
will once more, as it did millions of years ago, drift through the ether,
devoid of life. Eternal Nature ruthlessly avenges the transgressions
of her laws. I believe, therefore, that I am acting today in the
spirit of the Almighty Creator. In fighting the Jews I am defending
the work of the Lord.

MEIN KAMPF, Adolph
Hitler, New York, Reynal & Hitchcock, 1939, page 84
And finally, like Bush
discounting the results of his “reasonable” overtures toward the Iraqi
government, Hitler claimed to have given up trying to reason with the Jews
years earlier and was left with no alternative. They would not listen
to sanity and:
it
was never possible to free a Jew from his convictions. At that time
I was still naive enough to try to make clear to them the madness of their
ideas; in my small circle I talked until my tongue was weary and till my
throat was hoarse, and I thought I could succeed in convincing them of
the destructiveness of their Marxist doctrine of irrationality; but the
result was only the contrary. It seemed as though the increasing
realization of the destructive influence of Social Democratic theories
would serve only to strengthen their determination.
MEIN KAMPF, Adolph
Hitler, New York, Reynal & Hitchcock, 1939, page 81
Despite all his vilification
of Jews and vituperation, Hitler was quick to note that their negative
status in his eyes would be reappraised should they refuse to support Marxism.
His message was that he would dramatically mitigate his hostility toward
any Jews willing to reject this nefarious philosophy but press for the
destruction of anyone ignoring his threat and collaborating with the communists:
We
wish to say quite frankly that if, in this struggle for the German people's
existence, the Jews ally themselves with the communists, they will be attacked.
They sense this and so they are indirectly filling our Party coffers.
Social democracy is not a class-conscious organization. Should they
form a coalition with the communists against us, they too will be mortally
wounded. We work with mathematical precision.
SECRET CONVERSATIONS
WITH HITLER, Edited by Edouard Calic, 1971. Page 52
In an interview with
the correspondent of The Times in Berlin in October 1930 Hitler stated:
Their
[National Socialists] Doctrine was "Germany for the Germans" and their
attitude toward Jews was governed by the attitude of Jews towards this
doctrine. They had nothing against decent Jews, but if Jews associated
themselves with Bolshevism, as many unfortunately did, they must be regarded
as enemies.

Hitler not only exhibited
a conciliatory attitude toward the Jews in Germany in the early years but
specifically distinguished their treatment from that meted out to those
directly aligned to Marxism. In a conversation with Wegener Hitler
stated:
Once
we have recognized it [Bolshevism] as the PRIMARY enemy, however, we must
avoid rousing the remaining Jews in the world against us until the Bolshevik
danger has been removed. That is why we may not expel the Jews who
live in Germany, we may not expropriate their goods, we may not harm a
hair on their heads; and that is why we may not go public with our social
economy and with other problems and plans, with which we would rouse liberalistic
world Jewry and the entire liberalistic world against us. Rather,
we must live peacefully with them!
We can keep liberalism in check--indeed, we must do so--but it must be
done very cautiously, sensibly, with economic expediency. And when
we arrive at systematic economic control through the state, which is the
problem everyone else is also fiddling with, we must manage it in such
a way that private property also survives for economic transactions and
that private initiative is harnessed for our program.

A CONFIDANT, by Otto Wegener, 1985, page 71
In a speech to the
Doctors' Union in April 1933 regarding the racial purification of the German
people he said:
As
a matter of fact the Jews in Germany had not had a hair of their heads
rumpled.

Hitler even went so
far as to accept Jews in some fields such as education but he definitely
excluded what he dubbed mongrels or those of mixed race from all positions
of significance.
He stated:
There
is one further requirement. Racially, he [a teacher] should be as
pure and unmixed as possible. But we should not harbor the idea,
so often advanced and incredibly narrow, that every teacher must be a blond
Germanic type. That's the most arrant nonsense! We actually
need Roman types, Celts, Slavs--and theoretically I would not even be opposed
to Jews--so that our education and instruction can be as varied as possible.
But it is inadvisable to employ people as teachers and educators who come
from mixed marriages--for example, between someone from Lower Saxony and
someone from the south of France, or between Rhinelanders and Slavs, or
between Celts and Italians. Mixtures of Aryans of any kind with Jews
or other races are, of course, completely out of the question. For
each race has its own ethical approach. And these cannot be mixed.
Among racial half-breeds, now one, now the other ethic predominates.
And such a person cannot educate.

A CONFIDANT, by Otto Wegener, 1985, page 276
And finally, to what
extent this appeasing attitude is attributable to the following jolting
admission will remain a matter of speculation:
Jews
have been ready to help me in my political struggle. At the outset
of our movement some Jews actually gave me financial assistance.
If I had but held out my little finger I should have had the whole lot
of them crowding around me. They knew well enough where there was
a new thing on, with life in it.
THE VOICE OF DESTRUCTION,
by Hermann Rauschnigg, 1940, page 237
“The ex-Chancellor's
[von Papen] reconciliation with Adolf took place at Cologne at the house
of Herr Schroeder, a rich financier of Jewish origin who was to foot the
bill of the new Nazi campaign.”
