German men and women!We publicly appeal to every man, every woman, to all
young people in Germany. For the untruths, abuse and slander against
Jewry and Jewish people
– spread by the thousands in assembliesfrom which we are
banned, in news-papers which know no responsibility, and flyers in
incredible numbers –
can no longer be tolerated. With all the passion of our
hearts we oppose it. Despite all and everything, we trust in your
upstanding mind and your truthful conscience. We expect that you will
not just listen to one side, but also to us as the other side.
Read what is being said here! Think about it! Verify
it!
The evidence for each answer is openly accessible – to everyone.
You are being shown “the Jew” everywhere.
Wherever he is, he supposedly “rules over” you! He is supposed to be
the author
of everything that happens at the moment, even if they are contradictory
things:
capitalism and bolshevism financial
capital and Marxism.
What is the truth? Clear numbers and facts tell
you the truth!
Not one in a hundred Germans is Jewish. Would it
really
be possible for one person to compete with a hundred
of you?
“The Jews” supposedly are “rich.” Count “the rich” and you
will see that it is
always just a few who own a fortune,
few among the Jews as well as few
among
non-Jews. The majority of Jews work just like you
do,they struggle and toil for their daily bread just like you do!
Aside from these classes of people who loyally and simply go
about their
everyday lives, are we to forget the merits of all those
who have rendered
outstanding services to German culture and Germany’s
reputation in the world, such as:
to name only a
few – are we to forget
that 15 out of 25 German Nobel Prize
winnersare Jews?
Remember that 100,000 Jewish people stood with their German fellow soldiers at
the
frontline during the
their homeland.
We ask you:
Must idealism and the sacred striving for the glory of the
German people and their homeland really always be tied tothe shameful and
degrading hatred of Jews?Why do you tolerate the defilement of your pure
aspirations by lies, baseness and abuse,open and hidden professional
jealousy, by brutality and violence?
Away with lies! Away with this undignified hating!
Away with the baseness in
public life!
Reject the agitators and the haters! Their shameless lies and
threats and incitements to bloody violence threaten to effect
Germany’s
regression into barbarism and to expose it to worldwide contempt. The
German Jews want to work with all Germans for employment and
rebuilding,
for liberty and justice,
for harmony among the entire German
people!
