Jewish rites, the whole world will be thus slaughtered at the same time. The French people are being shaped by its rulers into an instrument for those people who destroyed the Russians. Now they are arming, arming to possess an army to re-establish domination, a Jewish domination not only over Germany, but the final Jewish domination over the whole world. You see, my dear compatriots, anyone knowing the racial question, anyone knowing the Jewish question realizes all Jewry is the universal enemy.

As you have drummed morning and evening prayers into your children's heads, so now drum this into their heads, so that the German people may gain the spiritual power to convince the rest of the world which the Jews desire to lead against us."

ADOLF HITLER "MEIN KAMPF",

Unexpurgated edition in English published by Hutchinson, Page 440.

"Certainly in the years 1918-1919 the founding of a multitude of new groups, parties, etc., calling themselves 'Patriotic', was a natural phenomenon of the time, for which the founders were not at all responsible. By 1920 the National Socialist German Labour Party had slowly crystallized from all these parties and had become supreme. There could be no better proof of the sterling honesty of certain individual founders than the fact that many of them decided, in a really admirable manner, to sacrifice their manifestly less successful movements to the stronger movement, by joining it unconditionally and dissolving their own."

"This is specially true in regard to Julius Streicher, who was at that time the protagonist of the German Socialist Party in Nurnberg. The National Socialist German Labour Party had been founded with similar aims in view, but quite independently of the other. I have already said that Streicher, then a teacher in Nurnberg, was the chief protagonist of the German Socialist Party. He had a sacred conviction of the mission and future of his own movement. As soon, however, as the superior strength and stronger growth of the National Socialist Party became clear and unquestionable to his mind he gave up his work in the German Socialist Party and called upon his followers to fall into line with the National Socialist German Labour Party, which had come out victorious from the mutual contest, and carry on the fight within its ranks for the common cause. The decision was personally a difficult one for him, but it showed a profound sense of honesty."

needs such murder and such victims. For us who know, the murder of Wilhelm Gustloff is the same as ritual murder.

We must tell our children!

It is our duty to tell the children at school and the bigger ones what this memorial means. And to the many who today still do not know what it is all about we must explain: The security which we have now created for ourselves will only last for centuries if we never more lose the knowledge which we have made clear to the people.

The Jew no longer shows himself among us openly as he used to. But it would be wrong to say that victory is ours. Full and final victory will have been achieved only when the whole world has been rid of Jews.

Every man or woman should be taken in to see the Anti-Bolshevist exhibition which has now been opened here, and then in front of this memorial. Then perhaps many would understand why we always say: The Jew is our misfortune.

We are here doing honour to a man who died bravely. You know that a Jew came into his house and shot him treacherously. When a German kills a German he has the whole nation against him. But when a Jew kills a non-Jew the whole Jewish people is on his side. All the Jews stood together and collected money for the defence of this murderer. This shows what sort of a people the Jews are and what we can still expect from this people.

We must leave this place with a sacred vow to be hard of heart. Peace has not come for us yet. Those who come after us may perhaps live to see it, if what we preached, hammered into people's heads, and planted in their hearts is never forgotten, if we who know plant hatred against the Jews in the hearts of youth, if we do not get soft any more but remain strong. Then we will overcome the dragon and crush beneath our heel the head of the serpent which has wound itself round the globe for many thousands of years.

We want to stand together.

We have dedicated our lives to the fight against the murderers of Christ and we are proud that we did not spend the last years in idleness, but by hard fighting carried enlightenment into the German people and furthermore into the other nations. From this town enlightenment was carried into the world. In this place

let us say to ourselves: We want to stand side by side in the towns with the men, under whose care it is, and we want to take it for granted that they are doing their job as it should be done; and we want to stand together in the Gau because we have to fulfil a task. This task is not yet completed but we will continue working in this spirit and belief to the last gasp. And if we always think of Adolf Hitler, then we cannot fail to receive strength and benediction from heaven.

Adolf Hitler also made this man, Wilhelm Gustloff, a follower of his, and Wilhelm Gustloff remained faithful to the Fuehrer unto death. We salute Adolf Hitler, the creator of the Third Reich, the Saviour of the German people."

At the end of the discussion Berkert was severely admonished (apparently by Schoeller). An extract from today's paper concerning this matter is attached.

6. Former prime minister Held.-According to a DNB message, the former Bavarian prime minister Held has died. Editors are expected to use their tact in that they, if they are to publish this information at all, do not feature it or allot it space on the front page.

7. Foreign journalists-The presence and activities of foreign journalists may only be reported on with the permission of the Reich office for propaganda. The value of these foreigners may be gauged for instance on the reporting of the Reuter representative who is at present at Hesselberg. He reported inter alia that every year on the Day of Franconia the 12 prettiest and the 12 ugliest maidens of Franconia were selected. The 12 prettiest maidens belonged to the Gau leader and his staff and the ugliest were burned at the stake.

Leading Article by Julius Streicher from "Der Stuermer" of September 1936 (No. 39)

To everybody! The "Stuermer" was right.

The battle against the devil.

When in 1933 National Socialism came to power in Germany, many people thought that they could say that the "Stuermer's" task was now finished. During the ensuing period striking events brought about by Jews made it clear to these know-alls that they had been talking nonsense. When the Nurnberg decrees for the protection of German blood and the German people were decided upon at the Reich Party Rally in 1935, there were again people who believed that with the creation of these laws the Jewish question was solved. Those who thought and talked along these lines were again given a lesson within the year by world events. Only those who had but a superficial knowledge. of what the Jewish question means to those who know, could speak of a solution of this question. At the Reich Party Rally in Nurnberg which has just ended, it must have become clear even to the most simple-minded that the Jewish question is a
