Alfred Rosenberg

In
the years of Germany's deepest powerlessness Alfred Rosenberg
published a translation of the French work: The Jew, Jewry, and the
Judafication of the Christian Peoples, which had already appeared in
the year 1869 and had as its author a Chevalier Gougenot des
Mousseaux, yet it soon disappeared, having been bought out by Jewry
while the author himself fell victim to a Jewish assault.

He was
eliminated not only because he had realized the mentality of the Jew with
razor sharpness, but primarily in consequence of the publicizing of
Jewish ritual-murders. With that, des Mousseaux had touched
upon the deepest secret of Jewry and uncovered the crimes which had
repeatedly been inflicted upon Gentile humanity as blood-tax by the Jews
and which, due to all the economic, political and intellectual means of
power at its command under masterful direction, in the overwhelming
majority of cases had eluded earthly justice .

In the past century
"of light," the century of the great Jewish "liberation" and then in an
absolutely consistent progression in our time, the phrase of the
philosopher Seneca seemed to find its final and fruitful
confirmation: "The conquered have imprinted their laws upon the
conquerors!" The governments of the individual nations of Europe had
become the compliant tools of Judah. During his own day, one of those
German scholars was already able to discover this from his own bitter
experience, whose life's work had likewise fallen victim to Jewish
intrigues -- the old Johann Andreas Eisenmenger, who died in 1704
as Professor of Oriental Languages in Heidelberg; he cited in his
Entdecktes Judentum [Judaism Discovered] the following
passage from the words of the Jewish convert Dietrich Schwab (307):
(XX) "If the Jews get a government which favors
and is well-disposed toward them, then they say: What a decent government
this is! It accepts gifts gladly, therefore it's like the Jews, but
there's a distinction! With this word they want to imply that they are
better still than such a government, of however high a class it ever might
be. . ."

Hand-in-hand with the "worldly authority," church
circles -- by no means insignificant and uninfluential -- were working for
the protection of Jewry, church circles of which a considerable portion
was composed of those who -- to use the expression of the Jewish Professor
Graetz -- "took up the armament and flag of the enemy in order to
annihilate him all the more forcefully" -- with them, too, we shall have
to inevitably concern ourselves more closely.

"On the other
hand, even devout Christian theologians adopt the expression by which the
Jews are the Chosen People of God and moreover play the role of prison
chaplains for whom every convict is an innocent man; since for one
thing he of course protests his innocence, and secondly he hasn't set down
in writing any notes about his alleged crime. . .The noble simplicity of
these gentlemen is worthy of admiration. . ." wrote the Hamburg University
Professor Siegfried Passarge in the year 1928 in the foreword to
the 2nd volume of the Brafmann Das Buch vom Kahal [The Book of
the Kahal]. -- The "noble simplicity of these gentlemen" is not only
admirable, it is unscrupulous! They are the "unscrupulous brokers of the
stock exchange of religion," the "incurable cancer," as the Jew
Bogrow pointed out among his own people in his Memoiren eines
Juden [Memoirs of a Jew] which appeared in 1880. Joining with
the representatives of the theological faculty are renowned individuals of
the remaining disciplines. When the Jew Beilis was standing trial
in Kiev because of a ritual-murder committed against a 13-year-old
schoolboy, a Werner Sombart wrote thusly in 1912 in his Zukunft
der Juden [Future of the Jews] (Leipzig, 1912, page 57): It is
the Jewish people who, since the time of the Prophets, have brought the
great ethical tone into the Concert of Humanity and continue to bring it
through their best sons even today. The great tragic pathos which the
natural world wishes to demoralize, comes in the end, indeed, from Judah
and has merged from there into Christianity. . ." (XXI) "We never want to lose the deep, sad Jewish
eyes. . ."

The common bond of both -- of state and church
representatives -- was formed, moreover (or better: simultaneously -- with
that strange attitude of mind which still sees representatives of a
"Chosen People" even in the active "citizens of the Mosaic persuasion,")
by the subterranean (and all the more dangerous for that!) threads of
Freemasonry, that "illegitimate daughter of the synagogue," which
confuses the heads of a certain European "intelligentsia," as we will get
to know them in their dozens by signature.

England, the
classic nation of World Freemasonry -- in 1717 the first free masonic
lodge was already founded in London -- and of World Jewry -- as the
infamous Jewish governess of Europe, naturally gave protection and help to
Jewish ritual-murderers! That is shown very noticeably by the omission of
the otherwise usual diplomatic "caution" in the ritual-murder trial of
Damascus (1840) and Tisza-Eszlár (1882) just as during the events
on Corfu (1891). "Thrice fortunate Britain, how much more worthy of
envy than thy powerful fleets do thy citizens, thy parliament, and thy
(judeo-"Christian") meetings make thee! Happy people, who have these
things," exclaimed Jew Loewenstein with enthusiasm in the years of
the beginning Jewish emancipation -- but these connections shall also be
more closely illuminated in what is to follow!

Jewry itself now
first brought to bear its "intellectual leader class" when it saw the time
was ripe; that is, when there was fear that the situation for the
ritual-murderers and their task-masters was turning critical. But still
years later, after absolutely "satisfying" successes, the lay of the land
was being "sounded." Each more recent circumstance shows quite clearly
with what shrewdness Judah takes into account the chronically poor memory
of certain responsible circles of Gentile humanity: before one proceeds to
a new ritual-crime, the last slumbering suspicion of Jewish perpetration
must be brought to the vanishing point -- or is it merely accidental that
ten (!) years after the blood-murder of (XXII) Tisza-Eszlár and a year after
Xanten and Corfu, a Paul Nathan, Doctor of
Philosophy, performed his clever and unscrupulous diversionary maneuver
(der Prozeß von Tisza-Eszlár -- Ein Antisemitisches Kulturbild and
Xanten/Kleve; Betrachtungen zum Prozeß Buschhoff, both
appeared in Berlin in 1892) [The Trial of Tisza-Eszlár -- An
Anti-Semitic Cultural Form and Xanten/Cleves; Reflections upon the
Buschhoff Trial], and a few years later new, horrible crimes
already followed?

For the Polna blood-murder (1898/99) another
young Talmudist, the Jewish Berliner "counselor," Arthur Nußbaum
(Der Polnaer Ritualmord-prozeß -- Eine kriminal- psychologische
Untersuchung, Berlin 1906)[The Polna Ritual-Murder Trial -- A
Criminal-Psychological Examination] took over this role seven
years after it and six (!) years after the the Konitz crime,
supported by the Berlin University Professor of the Law, Dr. Franz
v. Liszt, privy-councilor; already, in 1911, the ritual-murder of
little Andrei Yustschinsky in Kiev followed, after an
entire series of "puzzling" murders which remained unsolved had
also occurred on German soil.

Those "uneducated" persons, however,
who did not tire of calling attention to this monstrous Jewish peril
despite these Jewish tactics of muddying the waters -- Theodor
Fritsch, Liebermann von Sonnenberg, Otto Glagau, Dr.
Ernst Henrici, the Förster brothers, and as was said of all
the best, were showered with a deluge of slanders, insinuations and
insults, and according to the "judgment" of Paul Nathan, they
formed "the morally and intellectually backward elements of the nation,"
"a troop of unscrupulous men without any intellectual prestige and without
moral respect," according to the "opinion" of the Jew Loewenstein
(Damascia, page 247) "the scholarly rabble in Germany" -- to give
only a modest sampling.

But the Gentile peoples, who knew on the
basis of centuries-long gruesome experience exactly where the satanic
murderers of their children were to be sought, and who, after each newly
occurring crime, were able to recall earlier crimes carried out similarly
in every way, comprised those very "classes of the people, in whom that
kind of suspicion still lives; among the well-dressed rabble it has
followers, and these mentally low-level classes, who are open to
fanaticism and superstition, were goaded so long by
political unscrupulousness (XXIII) until for
them, the trial against one Jew seemed like a trial against Jewry. .
."(Nathan). The "colleague" of Nathan, Arthur Nußbaum, speaks of a
"backward, religious rural population" and concerning it, that it is
noteworthy "that all modern 'ritual-murder cases' have occurred in
villages or small cities. . .," while for the theological faculty of the
University of Leiden ("Christian witnesses against the
blood-accusation against the Jews, etc.") it is merely a matter of "a
superstition of deeply ignorant and disregardable people"!

The
opposition to the Jews as such, however, and the appearance of reaction of
any one people which has still not totally submitted itself to the Jewish
blood-monstrosity, must "be extirpated, root and branch," and "the fight
against them is for Jews and free-thinking Christians an act of
enlightened patriotism" (Nathan).

A Christian theologian --
he stresses at the time that he is not of Jewish origin -- the Berlin
Theology Professor, privy councilor of the Consistory, D. Dr. H.L.
Strack wrote accordingly in the year 1920, when his Fatherland was
lying bled-out on the ground, the malicious sentence: "The Germans are
also called Huns because they are considered to be anti-Semites. . ." For
this he cites, referring to himself, Ephesians 6:14:
"Therefore stand, girt round thy loins with truth and put on the armor of
righteousness!" (Jüdische Geheimgesetze?, 1920, page 29) [Jewish
Secret Laws?]! -- We shall have to discover during the course of the
investigations which lie before us, that a man like Strack was by
no means a singular phenomenon. . .

One could have let this matter
stay buried, if these very circles, which formerly were aptly described as
German "Jewish defense troops," had not contributed to a considerable
degree to the fact that Judah even then emerged as the victor, when once
the case really should have been made against it.

The expenditures
by which threatening trials were nipped in the bud by the Jews, or when
(in what were very rare instances) it was no longer possible to redirect
the course of a court hearing, were enormous. At any rate, these
machinations allow the consciousness of guilt of Jewry to be all
the more clearly recognized and are, for this reason, (XXIV) represented with especial thoroughness. "A
magically powerful bond is irrefutably wound about us from pole to pole,
Israel lifts its voice as if with one throat and defends the purity of
the Mosaic Law. . ." wrote the old Jew Mendelssohn with a smile
after the Jewish triumph in Damascus in 1840 in a "public letter"
from Paris, and Crémieux, one of the leaders of World Jewry and a
high-degree Freemason, as he looked back, could claim for the same reason
in Vienna that "sympathy for our maliciously persecuted brothers
was awakened as if by electric shocks upon all points of the earth. .
."

Characteristically, two politicians from that land which had
become a downright Dorado of Jewish murder-plague -- Hungary -- had
very keenly recognized this indirect confession of the World-guilt of
Judah. As the Hungarian magnate Géza von Ónody wrote in his
well-known publication about the ritual-murder of Tisza-Eszlár in
1882: "It is likewise an undeniable fact that the whole of Israel
identified itself with the accused schächter [German has two
words for those who butcher animals: der Schlächter and der
Schächter; the former has the same meaning as the English word
"butcher," but the latter refers to Jewish ritual-slaughterers.] and their
accomplices in the goal of misdirecting the administration of
justice and thereby sanctioned, so to speak, the mentioned fact
of a barbaric fanaticism." His companion in this struggle, the Knight
Georg v. Marcziányi, asked in the same year: "Now who pays these
sums, since the majority of the accused are beggar-poor Polish Jews? What
other reason can Jewry have, therefore, for identifying itself with
the Tisza-Eszlár monsters, than that of common awareness of guilt,
and is this not nearly equivalent to the recognition of the
existence of a blood-sacrifice ritual being practiced in secret in
the Mosaic racial religion, the general knowledge of which is supposed to
be suppressed at any price?" The motto of that Jewish
world-alliance, founded by Crémieux in the year 1860, the
Alliance Israélite Universelle (AIU), which also had "to protest"
[the innocence of] Jewish ritual-murderers and their followers in times to
come, reads, with real meaning: "All Jews vouch for one another" -- from
the least Galician Jewish beggar up to the Jewish Lord, the last and
greatest Jewish secret was defended.

Certainly for this reason it
is totally absurd when historians, (XXV) though
they have recognized the existence of ritual murder, wish to ascribe it
merely to a special "sect," Hassidim, to some sort of
"blood-alliance," to a secret organization, or to the "Odists" ("Haters")
in the sense of Siegfried Passarges. Every Jew knows all
about these matters and is, as the investigations to come show, even
actually prepared at any time to at least provide support! [The translator
takes strong exception to this claim while acknowledging that it contains
a grain of truth.]

If some of the ancient peoples -- for
example the Scythians, Cathaginians, Phoenicians, Aztecs, etc., practiced
human sacrifice, this was based upon, first and foremost, sacrifice for
religious goals (worship, prayer and thanksgiving), and not a
lawfully dictated desire for the destruction of anything of a
different kind from itself -- quite apart from the fact that those peoples
have long vanished, while the Jewish people still exists and is
active.

This desire for destruction is by no means to be understood
in the narrow framework of a "denominational" standpoint. The Middle Ages
saw the Jewish blood-murders as the outflowing not of racial, but of
religious hatred. A certain inner justification of this conception might
perhaps be acknowledged, insofar as the various Gentile -- in this case
Christian -- classes in the population instinctively, because not yet
undermined, saw in the Jew its natural enemy; but this latent or open
hostility was immediately warded off when the Jew decided for some reason
or other, either voluntarily or by coercion, to be baptized. This
already becomes manifest in the early centuries. That Christianity ceased
thereby to be a danger for Jewry, history has of course demonstrated: from
that baptized Jewry arose the most zealous defenders of Jewish interests!
In the 20th century, then, the Jew Cheskel Zwi Klötzel was able to
maintain entirely with logic that the Christianity of today no
longer meant danger, while Jewish hatred toward it was hotter than
ever!

This hatred becomes simply infernal when Jewry senses
anywhere a beginning opposition to Jews, a beginning realization of this
natural enemy of human society and human culture. It is very interesting
to discover that that suspicion, which in the course of the centuries
escalated to a desire to destroy, again and again circulated about
Germany -- Judah has ever had a fine sensitivity for where the
(XXVI) actual danger was waiting for it
-- an instinct of the desert. In the framework of the investigations to be
examined here, we must nevertheless maintain that the Jewish world power
in increasing measure from century to century had remained the victor for
reasons which will become clearer. Once a high Milan Catholic
cleric, Athanasius Fern, made this assessment: "Jews were and still
are well accused and even condemned (Damascus, Lutscha), but no longer
executed in the Century of Light. . ." "Never was Jewish money as
powerful, never has the blindness of formalistically trained judges been
as great as it is today; Israel triumphs in every trial. But is it truly
victorious? I say: No! These bloody acts cry to Heaven, they shall one day
be terribly avenged. In the long run, the consciousness of the people
will not be mocked. Then shall the eyes and the ears of those, who, out of
the arrogance of education or for the sake of the ringing of Jewish
gold-pieces, do not now wish to see or hear, be horribly opened. . ."
(A. Fern).

And Theodor Fritsch, the old master of the
movement in opposition to the Jews, wrote in his foreword: "Jewry may
slither its way from under the weight of the accusations: just as little
as it once was able to weaken or refute them, even as little will it
succeed against the proof of the evidence of this writing: the
blood-witnesses of a religion tangled in murderous and blood-thirsty
fanaticism arise as accusers and demand atonement and safety."

We
have become aware of the difficulties of our own work; yet it is valid to
present what is in parts very difficult and dry material in a manner that
will be generally understood. For this treatise has fulfilled its goal of
supplying a further useful weapon for the final struggle with the Jewish
world-octopus which is before us, if it can be put in the hands of every
comrade of the people: this has obliged me to the most exacting scientific
detailed work and doing without anything superfluous. Only a superficial
or malicious judgment can impute to my work "prejudiced" attacks upon a
certain circle of our people; this would be contradictory to the National
Socialist attitude and to the sense and goal of the work! Thus far,
however, let it be unsparingly emphasized that a category of persons
already closely defined above represented Jewish interests (XXVII) and has been consciously acting completely
contrary to the natural demands of the people.

The exact
designation of this variety of Jewish murder would be, of itself,
"ritual blood-murder"; in the interests of brevity and in favor of past
customary designations we will however speak in the following pages of
ritual- or blood-murder; the description "Christian" we adopt only where
it is found in the original text.

To thank I have my loyal mentor,
Herr University-Professor Dr. Joh. v. Leers, Jena, for the selfless
and generous interest which he dedicated to this work, my publisher, Herr
Theodor Fritsch, Berlin, for his resolve to bring out the book in a
solid edition despite circumstances aggravated by the conditions of war,
the Institute for Research of the Jewish Question in Frankfurt-am-Main for
repeated examination of the manuscript, the Herren Dr. Denner and W.
Freund, Berlin, for comradely assistance and important suggestions, and
also the Information Bureau of the German Library in Berlin and the Saxony
State Library at Dresden, to whose exacting work I mainly owe the
arrangement of the most valuable material.

The time has come for
the thousand-year Jewish secret to be exposed to the light, as the old
Ghillany prophesized over a hundred years ago; may this work, which has
been many years in the making, be called upon to keep coming generations
alert!
