Mister Eugene, April 22, 2002,
1 STAR FOR THIS BOOK IS ONE TOO MANY
I rate it at * because there is no provision in the rating system
for less that one, or for negative star numbers! The book is garbage, and those who praise it are anti-semitic and bigots
of the worst kind. This book and the thinking associated with
it belong on the same garbage heap as those who try to
claim that the Holocaust never happened!
If one is interested in reading distotorted history, this book is
a prime example. Otherwise, don't waste your money for this tripe.
A reviewer, I am objective, October 23, 2001,
Absurd Absolutely absurd. This book is a journey of deception
and 'head twisting'.
Adam Kohen (adamkohen@yahoo.com), a Historian., September 5, 2000,
The best book about 20th Century Europe, Israel and WWII.
I have read the very controversial and hard to 'swallow' 'Adolf Hitler - Founder of Israel: Israel in War With Jews',and despite its seemingly offensive title, I strongly recommend this book.
Foremost, I recommend this book to the Holocaust survivors
and their families who seek the peace of mind about the
horrors of the past and why they happened to them and their
loved ones.
Next, I recommend this book to all those who seek the truth (Kardel's motivating factor for writing it in the first place), and
to all others who wonder why World War II has never ended
but still 55 years later rages on in the Middle East and elsewhere.
And most importantly, why in the process so many millions of
us and even more of others have perished and continue to
perish. In other words, borrowing from the book's subtitle,
why ever since its inception thousands of years ago Israel
has been in War with Jews and the rest of Humanity.
Peter (peter.navy@rocketmail.com), INTERESTED in the
TRUTH, March 4, 1999,
HOLOCAUST DID OCCUR, BUT WHO DID IT ? This book
you MUST read, for in it you will discover that not only did the HOLOCAUST OCCUR, but that the men behind were in
FACT THEMSELVES JEWISH, as hard as this is to accept
or fathom !!! For example, NAZI propagandist JOSEPH GOEBELLS was JEWISH, as was ADOLF EICHMANN,
as was ADOLPH HILTER [Frankenberger Schicklegruber] in
part, as was HILTER's personal physician Morell, as was the rest named below of Jewish descent, or being related to
Jewish families were: his representatives the Reichsminister
Rudolf Hess; the Reichsmarshall Hermann Goreing; the
Reichsleader of the NSDAP Gregor Strasser, Dr. Josef
Goebbels, Alfred Rosenberg, Hans Frank, Heinrich Himmler;
the Reichsminister von Ribbentrop (who pledged close friendship with the famous Zionist Chaim Weizmann, the
first head of the State of Israel who died in 1952 );
von Keudell; field commanders Globocnik (the Jewish Destructor); Jordan and Wilhelm Hube; the great SS-Leaders
Reinhard Heydrich, Erich von dem Bach-Zelewski and von
Keudell II, who also were active in the destruction of Jews. Next came Hitler's bankers and before 1933 supporters:
Ritter von Strauss (Vice-President of the
NS-Parliament); von Stein; the General Field Marshall and Secretary of State Milch; the Under-Secretary of State Gauss;
the physicist and old Party members Phillip von Lenhard and Abraham Esau; the very old party-member Hanffstaengel, NSDAP's newspaper Cheif of Foreign Department (later on
an advisor to President FDR) as well as professor Haushofer.'
(Inset all of them members of the secret Thule Order/Society) This list is NOT complete, see the book.
So obviously this is NOT what most people would assume to
be the case, ALL the more reason to get this VITALLY IMPORTANT BOOK to revive the greatest victim of the 20th century, the TRUTH !!!

Johannesburg, South Africa.
September 26, 1997 Death of a nation:
The Nazis sterilised black Germans,
revoked their citizenship and sent them to
concentration camps.
Hitler's forgotten Namibian victims
NAMIBIA A television documentary reveals
for the first time how the Nazi sterilisation
programmes go back to experiments in German
South West Africa, now Namibia.
DELROY CONSTANTINE-SIMMS writes
AT a time when the fight for justice for Jewish Holocaust
victims makes front-page news, few people know that a
significant number of black people suffered, too, under
Nazi rule. Revelations about their experiences are made
in a documentary, to be screened in Britain next month,
entitled Hitler's Forgotten Victims.
It reveals that sterilisation programmes of blacks
were instituted by Germany's most senior Nazi
geneticist, Doctor Eugen Fischer,who developed
his racial theories in German South West Africa
(now Namibia) Long before World War
I. In Namibia, Fischer claimed
there were genetic dangers arising
from race mixing between German
colonists and African women.
The documentary also provides
disturbing photographic evidence of
German genocidal tendencies in Africa.
In 1904 the Herero tribe revolted against
their German colonial masters in a quest
to keep their land. It was a rebellion that
lasted four years and led to the death of
60000 Herero people - 80% of their
population.
The survivors were imprisoned
in concentration camps or used
as guinea pigs for medical
experiments, a foretaste of things
to come.
"Hitler's Forgotten Victims" shows that Germany's
24,000-strong black community were the number-one
target for Hitler's sterilisation programme.
The film makes it clear that Hitler's view on racial
superiority did not develop in a vacuum.
He was influenced by the work of
the 19th-century German zoologist
Ernst Haeckel, whose views were
based on distorted versions of
Darwinism.
He wrote of woolly-haired Negroes incapable of
higher mental development.
The film shows that the Nazis' obsession with racial
purityand eugenics was provoked and intensified in
1918, following Germany's defeat in World War I.
Under the terms of the peace treaty signed at Versailles,
Germany was stripped of its African colonies and forced
to submit to the occupation of the Rhineland.
The deployment of African troops from the French colonies
to police the territory incensed many Germans.
To many it was the final humiliation that
began with their 1918 defeat in the
World War I. The film shows Germans
complaining bitterly in newspapers and
propaganda films about African soldiers
from the French colonial army having
relations with "their" women.
As soon as Hitler reoccupied the Rhineland
in 1936, he retaliated by targeting black people
living there. At least 400 mixed-race children
were forcibly sterilised in the area by the end
of 1937, while 400 others disappeared
intocamps.
Hans Hauck, a victim of Hitler's sterilisation programme,
says: "We were lucky that we weren't victims of euthanasia;
we were only sterilised. We had no anaesthetic. Once I got
my vasectomy certificate, I had to sign an agreement that we
were not allowed to have sexual relations whatsoever with
Germans."
In 1932 in Bresau, Hitler gave a speech
in which he ordered Africans, Jews and
anyone not Aryan to leave Germany or
go into the camps.
But most blacks in Germany could not
heed Hitler's warning as they were
German citizens with German passports
and had nowhere else to go.
While a fair number escaped to France,
others tried to return to the former
German colonies, taken over by the
League of Nations in 1920.
The British colonial authorities
in the newly named South West
Africa would not allow Black
Germans refugee status on the
grounds that they had fought for
the Germans in World War I.
Hitler's Forgotten Victims does not
give enough insight into the lives of
black Germans who resisted the Nazis,
such as black activist Lari Gilges, who
founded an organisation of entertainers
that fought the Nazis in his home town
of Dusseldorf. He was murdered by the
SS in 1933, the year Hitler came to power.
More insight is given into black and
mixed-race Germans who toured in
the Hillerkus Afrikaschau circuses,
films and shows to escape
persecution.
Says interviewee Elizabeth
Morton: "My father was one
of the founders of the
There was everything: dances,
songs and acrobatics, music
breaking, tap dancing. It was
like a variety show. The
Afrikaschau actually became
the place to go for all black
people; it was something new."

children June11, 1997 CYBERSPACE
a.. The Namibian b.. The Republic of Namibia
These shows were eventually taken
over in 1940 by the SS, who considered
them racially unacceptable and used
them for racist propaganda.
But eventually Hitler's propaganda
chief, Josef Goebbels, realised that
in order to spread the Nazi gospel
of Aryan supremacy, he needed to
exploit the most popular medium
of the time- German feature films.
Propaganda films such as Kongo
Express, Quax in Africa, and Auntie
Wanda from Uganda presented
Germany as a benevolent colonial
power.
Says black actor Werner Egiomue:
"We had an agent then who had
all the addresses of black people
in Berlin.
The Reich's chamber of commerce
was in touch with him when they
were casting a film.
It was fun inside the studio.
Outside the door you could be
arrested.
But inside you were as safe as
in a bank."
Another experience is given by the Michaels
family, who were orphaned and
separated at an early age. Theodore
Michael, one of Germany's greatest
character actors of the time, gives a gripping
account of how he survived.
He says: "Black people in Germany
were aware that if the Nazis wanted to
get rid of us, they could catch us in one
swoop. I was eventually sent to a munitions
factory, where I was liberated by Russian
soldiers. They were surprised to see a
black man still alive."
Not only black Germans suffered at the
hands of the Nazis - black soldiers were
also targets. Between 1939 and 1945, an
estimated 200,000 black troops from African
colonies were serving in Europe. The
Nazis segregated black inmates for extra
special treatment of the fatal kind.
In breach of the Geneva Convention,
black prisoners were denied food,
and given dangerous jobs. In film never
seen before, black soldiers and civilians
are seen scavenging for scraps of food
in garbage heaps at the Hemer POW
camp near Dortmund in north-west
Germany. No one knows how many
black soldiers or civilians died in the
camps at the hands of the SS guards,
producer Moise Shewa says,
because where Jews were noted
as Jews, blacks were noted by
nationality.
One description of concentration camp life is
given by Johnny William, born to an African mother
and white Frenchman, who was transported by the
Gestapo to the Neugengamme concentration camp
near Hamburg. "There were five or six of us. As soon
as we arrived, we were immediately separated from
the white deportees by the SS. They considered us
to be subhuman beings like animals, chimpanzees."
"Hitler's Forgotten Victims" makes it clear that the treatment
of blacks in the Holocaust should
be acknowledged.
Most black Germans were stripped
of their nationality,so it has been difficult
for them to claim reparations. Hopefully, this film
will go some way to force the German government
to acknowledge their experience at the hands of
the Nazis and recompense black Germans in
the same manner as the Jewish community, who
suffered the same fate. -- Mail&Guardian,

Subject: Adolf Hitler's morbid obsession with
'purity Forgotten: Black victims of Hitler's Germany
New African, October 1999
Considered to be an impure race, they were
forcibly sterilised, stripped of their citizenship
and forced into labour camps. Yet today, complex
legal procedures and insensitivity by the German
government are hindering black victims of Hitler's
atrocities from claiming compensation like their
Jewish counterparts. Regina Jere-Malanda reports.
The hue and cry for compensation is
bearing fruit for Jews and other European
victims of Nazi Germany. But Adolf
But Adolf Hitler's morbid obsession with
"purity" and "superiority "
of the ( SO CALLED ) Aryan
race, also severely hit and damaged
a significant number of black people
who lived in Germany at the time.
Just like the Jews, Germany's then
25,000-strong black population was
a number one target of the Nazi
Nuremberg laws of 15 September
1935 which called for "the protection
of German blood and German honour".
But while multi-billion dollar funds
have been set up to compensate the
Jews, the plight of Hitler's black
victims has largely been ignored.
Ironically, black units of the U.S. Armed Forces
liberated several
Concentration Camps
in Germany.
Their stories are harrowing, yet are
the least written about and hardly
discussed at any forums. Even a
thorough search on the famed
World Wide Web ( Internet ) yields
no match on the subject.
Few people know that out of the almost 25,000
black people in Germany at the time, a considerable
number was sterilised under Hitler's orders. This
was to prevent them from making German women
pregnant in case they disobeyed the 1935 laws that
forbade inter-racial sex. A child born to such a couple
was considered 'impure' or not German enough.
This view was based on a misguided extension of
Darwinism borrowed from an equally disturbed 19th
century German thinker, Ernest Haeckel, who
described human evolution in racial terms. His theories
on eugenics (genetic traits) were aimed at giving racism
scientific legitimacy. This became part of the pseudo-
scientific basis and fodder for the Nazis' racial hygiene
theories.
"Some of us were lucky we were only victims of
sterilisation and not euthanasia," one victim, Hans
Hauck said in a TV documentary broadcast earlier
this year by Britain's Channel 4. The documentary
was put togetherby AfroWisdom Films, a London-
based company owned by the Cameroonian, Moise
Shewa.
Like many others who suffered the same fate, Hauck
had no anaesthetic when the "operation" was done.
Once it was over, he was given a sterilisation certificate
and made to sign an agreement "not to have sexual
relations whatsoever with Germans."
Other distressed survivors, such as Theodore Michael,
say they are lucky to be alive because life under Hitler
was "unbearable".
"It wasn't easy. Not only were we declared persona
non grata, but we were not wanted anywhere,"
Michael told New African.
A talented actor born to a Cameroonian
father and German mother, Michael was
stripped of his German citizenship. He
was orphaned and separated from the
rest of his family at a very young age.
While some of his family members
managed to escape to France, he was
sent to a Nazi labour camp where he
was freed by Russian soldiers after
the War.
"When they found me, they were
surprised to see a black man still
alive. I came out with nothing. Only
a pair of shoes and trousers are all I
possessed," he says.
Today, Michael, 74, lives in the
German city of Cologne where he
has rebuilt his life. He believes
compensation for Nazi brutality is
worth fighting for, but quickly points
out how a maze of complicated legal
procedures and demands makes it
almost impossible to claim.
Most black Germans were
stripped of their citizenship,
thus complicating further
their
Yet, Germany's restitution law was made
to "ensure the unconditional return of all
property (goods and rights) which were
taken from persons who had been
subjected to discrimination and persecution
by the Nazi regime."
Says Michael: "Most black victims
have just given up because it is very
hard for us to prove that we are entitled
to compensation. The Federal
Compensation Law is very complicated."
Indeed, the ridiculous web of
bureaucratic rules and complex
legal procedures that black
victims (most of them now well
advanced in age) have to go through
to claim compensation, is a put off.
For example, victims of sterilisation
have been asked to produce extensive
documentation to prove their suffering
(in this case, sterilisation certificates and
other medical documents to back the
physical damage). Physical evidence
alone is not enough. Why the authorities
expect victims of such indelible harm to
keep documents that remind them of their
suffering, numbs the mind.
"In Germany nothing gets off the ground
without papers," says Michael. "Most of
the victims did not keep these documents
and this is now a majorproblem. Who
would have thought he would need his
[sterilisation] certificate? After the war, all
people wanted, was to get on with their lives."
Michael, himself, suffered severe physical
damage, but he declined to describe it to
New African.
Paulette Reed-Anderson, an
American historian in Berlin,
told New African that the
indifference shown by the
German government makes
the issue of compensating
Hitler's black victims even
harder.
The restrictive compensation
laws do not even categorise
who should claim. It is like there
was only one group of victims -
the Jews.
Ironically, black units of
the U.S. Armed Forces
liberated several
Concentration Camps
in Germany.
The German Government,
to this day, refuses to
acknowledge the existence
of Hitler's black victims
and has made no comment
on the matter.
"It is utterly ridiculous,"
says Reed-Anderson who
campaigns for compensation
for the black victims.
"Some of the victims
have been blatantly
told they can't claim
because only dead
victims are real victims.
They have been asked,
'How can you say you are a
victim, if you are still here
and alive?"
[Try saying that to a
non black Holocaust
survivor... ED]
Relatives of victims also have problems in
making claims. According to Reed-Anderson,
"they cannot claim because the laws say
nothing happened to them, they were not
persecuted, so why should they be
compensated?"
[Try saying that to a
non black Holocaust
survivor... ED]
As a result, there have been very few
success stories of black victims being
compensated.
Another big hurdle put
in the way of the blacks
are Jews who find it
difficult to accept that
blacks were as much
victims of Hitler's terror
as they were.
Ironically, black
units of the U.S.
Armed Forces
liberated several
Concentration
Camps
in Germany.
Reed-Anderson tells
how she and a few
other black claimants
were forced to leave a
conference on
compensation because
the Jewish delegates
made them unwelcome.
"The message was clear," she says.
"Black people were not wanted.
The situation was very unpleasant.
We had to leave."
Although both World Wars had
considerable impact on Africa and
its people in the Diaspora, provision
for reparations, under the Treaty of
Versailles, is only given to Europeans
and Americans.
Yet, in both Wars, Africa was an essential
source of men and raw material
(particularly for the Allies). An estimated
100,000 Africans died of disease,
malnutrition and overwork in Allied
army camps.
[Try saying that to a
non black Holocaust
survivor... ED]
Villages were often burnt down while
labour was indiscriminately procured.
For example, in Egypt, British troops
requisitioned Egyptian corn, cotton,
camels and labour in its campaign
against the German allies in the region
during World War I. The Germans, too,
in East Africa, recruited their Askaris
from among Africans, while the British
recruited troops in Sierra Leone, Ghana
and Nigeria.
During the Second World War, African
colonies were once again drawn into
the conflict although many did not even
understand what it was all about.
Thousands of troops were sent from
French West Africa to defend France
from German invasion. Here they suffered
heavy casualties and many were captured
and imprisoned by the Germans. Here
they were segregated from white prisoners,
denied food and made to do the most difficult
jobs.
The Channel 4 documentary, showed
appalling pictures of black war prisoners
scavenging for food in garbage heaps at
one of German's POW camps.
[Try saying that to a
non black Holocaust
survivor... ED]
It is known that many of them died in
such camps.
One survivor, Johnny William, told the
Channel 4 programme: "There were six
of us and as soon as we were taken there,
we were separated from the white
deportees.
They considered us to be sub-human,
like animals, chimpanzees."
But Germany's appalling mistreatment of
Africans did not begin with the World Wars.

Between 1897 and 1904, Germany's racial
bigotry had already led to the massacre of
60,000 Hereros in South West Africa
(now Namibia). About 80% of the Hereros
(see story on p14)
were killed by German settlers for fighting
against their occupation.
Survivors were forced into concentration
camps where they were used as guinea
pigs in medical experiments by the German
geneticist, Eugen Fischer.
[Try saying that to a
non black Holocaust

Fischer, who settled in the country, believed
there were genetic dangers arising from
race mixing between German colonists and
African women.
In March 1998 when German
President Roman Herzog
visited Namibia, he refused
to apologise for the Herero
massacre because
(in his words)
"too much time has passed
for aformal apology to the
Hereros to make sense."

for compensation has also
been largely ignored.

refuses to acknowledge the existence of
Hitler's black victims and has made no
comment on the matter.
"It is utterly ridiculous," says Reed-Anderson
who campaigns for compensation for the
black victims. "Some of the victims have been
blatantly told they can't claim because only
dead victims are real victims. They have
been asked, 'How can you say you are a
victim, if you are still here and alive?"
Relatives of victims also have problems in
making claims. According to Reed-Anderson,
"they cannot claim because the laws say
nothing happened to them, they were not
persecuted, so why should they be
compensated?"
As a result, there have been very few
success stories of black victims being
compensated.
Another big hurdle put in
the way of the blacks are
Jews who find it difficult to
accept that blacks were as
much victims of Hitler's
terror as they were.
Reed-Anderson tells how she and a few
other black claimants were forced to leave
a conference on compensation because
the Jewish delegates made them unwelcome.
"The message was clear," she says. "Black
people were not wanted. The situation was very
unpleasant. We had to leave."
Although both World Wars had considerable
impact on Africa and its people in the Diaspora,
provision for reparations, under the Treaty of
Versailles, is only given to Europeans and
Americans. Yet, in both Wars, Africa
was an essential source of men and raw material
(particularly for the Allies). An estimated 100,000
Africans died of disease, malnutrition and overwork
in Allied army camps. Villages were often burnt
down while labour was indiscriminately procured.
For example, in Egypt, British troops
requisitioned Egyptian corn, cotton,camels
and labour in its campaign against the German
allies in the region during World War I. The
Germans, too, in East Africa, recruited their askaris
from among Africans, while the British recruited
troops in Sierra Leone, Ghana and Nigeria.
During the Second World War, African colonies
were once again drawn into the conflict although
many did not even understand what it was all about.
Thousands of troops were sent from French
West Africa to defend France from German
invasion. Here they suffered heavy casualties
and many were captured and imprisoned by
the Germans. Here they were segregated from
white prisoners, denied food and made to do the
most difficult jobs. The Channel 4 documentary,
showed appalling pictures of black war prisoners
scavenging for food in garbage heaps at one of
German's POW camps.
It is known that many of them died in such camps.
One survivor, Johnny William, told the Channel
4 programme: "There were six of us and as soon
as we were taken there, we were separated from
the white deportees. They considered us to be
sub-human, like animals, chimpanzees."
But Germany's appalling mistreatment of Africans
did not begin with the World Wars. Between 1897
and 1904, Germany's racial bigotry had already
led to the massacre
of 60,000 Hereros in South West Africa (now
Namibia). About 80% of the Hereros (see story
on p14) were killed by German settlers for fighting
against their occupation. Survivors were forced
into concentration camps where they were used
as guinea pigs in medical experiments
by the German geneticist, Eugen Fischer.
Fischer, who settled in the country, believed there
were genetic dangers arising from race mixing
between German colonists and African women.
In March 1998 when German President Roman
Herzog visited Namibia, he refused to apologise
for the Herero massacre because (in his words)
"too much time has passed for a formal apology
to the Hereros to make sense."
As a result, the Herero's quest for compensation
has also been largely ignored by the German
government. And, because of the massive aid
Namibia gets from its former colonial master,
President Sam Nujoma's government has also
been apathetic to the plight of the Hereros. The
German government argues that no international
legislation existed at that time under which ethnic
minorities could get reparations.
It is time Africa, its leaders and its children in the
Diaspora did something big about the reparations
question. One day, the perpetrators
will listen.

Some times life is so borring and so predictable that the relitivly remote semi
exocit and almost quaint " off" topic of Mixed Marrage " The Kid's"
view is a almost doomed to be predictible and as run of the mill as an MTV
" real world" but I took another looked at the picture's and looked at the blerb's
agan and got a verry differant take. She is speaking as much of socical status
and class city and subburb divorce and this is not Alis Walkers it's her kid her
little girl grown up & talking the blues, me and my mom and blab blab blah.
Thus she apeares unconmminly thoughtfull & strong in mind & sperit an

Just look at the 2 photos Don't you want to know what she thinks?
Dont you see a human being filled with fantastic potential, get

MLK A time comes when silence is betrayal
Rebecca Walker spent years forgetting
her childhood. It wasn't difficult. All she had, really,
were a series of fragments, partial memories.
Different cities, different neighborhoods, different
worlds. Titled "Black, White and Jewish:
Autobiography of a Shifting Self," the book
Walker finally produced is as much about family
as race or religion.
The book sprang from what Walker calls a "really
strong need to sit down and live with my
memories of childhood" -- memories, she says,
she had blocked out because of "the terrible
pain" they caused. In it, she unravels a childhood
in which she tries to find her place as a child of
the civil rights movement, a child whose parents
divorced when she was 8 years old and then
shuttled her back and forth between their two
worlds -- one black and urban, the other white,
Jewish, suburban -- for the rest of her childhood.
Yahoo! Will Allow Nazi Stamps, Coins
NEW YORK –– Internet powerhouse Yahoo! Inc. has removed thousands of
hate items from its online auctions, but will continue to permit sales of Nazi
coins and stamps issued by Germany. Brian Fitzgerald, Yahoo's senior
auction producer, said computer software and Yahoo staff caught most of
the items prohibited under a new ban. The procedures, he said, will be
tweaked in the coming weeks and months. "We always knew it's not going
to be 100 percent foolproof," Fitzgerald said Thursday.
Ygal El Harrar, president of the Union of Jewish Students of France,
estimated that the number of Nazi items dropped to 400 from 1,900 when
the ban took effect at 3:01 a.m. Eastern on Wednesday.

This hoakey master race stuff is becoming slicker and sicker
On the basis of a statement made by
Julius Caesar in the first century BC,
Louis Nizer offers his psychiatric
diagnosis of the German people in
the twentieth century AD:
Caesar wrote: "Their whole life is composed of hunting
expeditions and military pursuits; from early boyhood
they are zealous for toil and hardship. Those who remain
longest in chastity win greatest praise among their kindred;
some think that stature, some that strength and sinew
are fortified thereby.
Further they deem it a most disgraceful thing to have had
knowledge of a woman before the twentieth year."
Psychiatrists will find in this observation fruitful material for
their studies of the root causes of German sadism and of the
inferiority complex which seeks to express itself through
conquest and domination.
The well-known tendencies in Germany towards homosexuality
became public knowledge when Hitler justified his purge of
Roehm and his adherents on the ground that they had been
guilty of practices of degradation which corrupted the
governing circles. Hitler's and Hess' own "aestheticism,"
Goering's abnormal practices (as determined by a Swiss court),
and the evil conduct of the Streichers and other Nazi leaders,
fit well into the characteristic pattern of bestiality.
The study of psychotic behavior is still in the exploratory
stages, but Caesar's report on the training begun ages ago by
the German people to deny and invert normal instincts as part
of the tribal custom may be a significant clue to sick German
conduct. It is possible that German cruelty and blood lust is
traceable to sexual inhibitions? Is there significance in the
pornographic tendencies of the Germans fed by such official
documents as Streicher's Stuermer?

A cult of mass
murder.
|
Charlemagne's maddening refrain.
Other leaders had waged war because "from their youth up war
is their passion." Plunder and the gratification of conquest were the driving force. But Charlemagne decreed an objective.
It was not modest. He sought to conquer the world, a refrain
which has since run through German existence with maddening
and devastating persistence. He fought a war every year. His
brilliant gifts were devoted to annihilating his neighbors and
robbing them of their possessions. Germans followed him with
fanatical devotion for the same principles which inspired them
to follow the Kaiser and Hitler in our generation.
Louis Nizer, What to do with Germany, Ziff Davis Publishing
Company, Chicago and New York, 1944, pp. 23-
The Germans have developed a
philosophy which makes a religion of war and a cult of mass murder.
They consider it their mission to
subjugate all other peoples to
slavery.
They exclude the
doctrines of the
sacredness of
human life and
liberty and
substitute for
it the ideal of war.
The unique phenomenon of
Germanism is that its conspiracy
against world peace is not mere
gangsterism or nihilism.
It is an intellectual movement,
if you please. It is supported by
a philosophy carefully devised, nurtured and inculcated into
every citizen.
Louis Nizer, What to do with Germany, Ziff Davis
Publishing Company, Chicago
and New York, 1944, p. 27.

Louis Nizer teaches that Germans are
collectively responsible for the crimes
of World War II because they
collectively suffer from the disease
of Germanism:
Millions of little cogs.
|
There was the Kaiser before Hitler, and Bismarck before the
Kaiser and Frederick the Great before Bismark —
indeed, two thousand years of Germanism to account for.
Under each ruler millions of Germans fought fanatically,
heroically, sacrificially. Theirs was not conduct induced by
compulsion.
Theirs was a will to execute a program and a readiness to die
for it. The vaunted efficiency of German aggression depends
on millions of little cogs acting in perfect coordination which
involuntary compliance could not possibly produce.

Twice in one generation.
|
[N]o people can be innocent who have twice in one generation
burst forth in aggression against all their neighbors, near and far.
How is it that one spot on the surface of the earth, no larger
than Texas, should so persistently explode and ravage the world?
And what were the toasts, the slogans, the anthems, the
battle cries of this people?
"Der Tag" — when Germany will rule the world.
"Deutschland uber Alles". "Tomorrow we will rule the world."
Rule the world! Rule the world! No people who can thrill to
such a mission are innocent victims of wicked leaders.
Louis Nizer, What to do with Germany, Ziff Davis Publishing
Company, Chicago and New York, 1944, p. 17.

As I¹ve proposed in two previous installments,
any human we collectively venerate as a
"hero" is typically the product of disinformation,
historical distortion, or media hype.
