Background: This 1942 article from Julius Streicher’s anti-Semitic
newspaper Der Stürmer claims that Germany will be secure only
when Jews have been eliminated from the entire world. Its writer, Ernst
Hiemer, was a top editor for the Stürmer. For more information
on the Stürmer and its editor, see my book on Julius

beseitigt?,” Der Stürmer, #19/1942.
When Will the Jewish Danger
by Ernst Hiemer
Anti-Semitism is as old as Jewry itself. The Jew was a liar, a swindler,
an exploiter, a troublemaker, a poisoner of the blood, and a murderer from
the beginning. The Gentile peoples thus responded to this people of
criminals throughout history with contempt and rejection.
Over the centuries, repeated attempts were made to eliminate the Jewish
danger. Under the assumption that the Jewish question was a religious
matter, one attempted to render Jews harmless by forcing them to be baptized.
It did not take long for people to realize that this was an entirely false
solution. The conversion of Jews to Christianity was only on the surface.
Jews became “Christian” only to carry on as Jews.
Another way to solve the Jewish question was for the numerically superior
Gentile population to absorb the Jewish minority. People believed that
close contact between the Jews and the host peoples would, through equality,
intermarriage and the mixing of blood, gradually “water down”
the Jewish race and lead to its disappearance. The results of this mistake
were catastrophic. The Jewish race was not “watered down” and
rendered harmless, but rather the opposite: the blood of the Gentile peoples
was poisoned in a grave way.
Experience showed Gentile peoples that incorporating the foreign Jewish
element into their community not only did no good, but caused positive
harm. Gradually people realized that there was only one effective method
of dealing with Jewry: consistent separation from their own racial body.
Even during the Middle Ages numerous governments required Jews to distinguish
themselves from their Gentile host peoples by wearing special clothing
such as pointed Jewish hats, yellow symbols, rings, etc. As well-intentioned
as these measures were, they had only limited success. Sometimes the Jews
wore these symbols with pride. They were pleased that the “stupid
Goy” themselves saw to it that only the “chosen people”
wore such outward symbols. But other Jews whose business interests were
not advanced by making the fact that they were Jews plain continued to
go about the country as “Gentiles.”
Another way of separating the Jews from the Gentile peoples was to
force them to live in certain areas. The Jewish quarter became known as
But this method also failed to achieve its goal. Some Jews welcomed the
creation of the ghetto. Once again they had their “community abroad!”
In the ghetto, Jewry’s secret plans were forged! In the ghetto the Jews
had their “staff.” Those Jews who carried on their mischief
among the Gentiles received their commands from the ghetto. The Jewish
danger was greater than ever before.
Realizing that separating the Jews into their own quarter was not sufficient
led various peoples to go still further. They expelled the Jews from their
countries. This for the first time aroused the Jews. Now they saw a real
danger! Now they had to act before it was too late!
Jewry is thousands of years old. Thanks to its devilish cleverness, it
has often found a way out of nearly hopeless situations. Here, too! The
Jews let themselves be expelled without much fuss. They gathered on the
other side of the border and waited and waited and waited. They waited
for years and decades. They waited for the moment in which the knowledge
of the Jewish danger gradually disappeared from people’s minds. Then the
Jews came back. Then they laid waste to the land more terribly than before.
Today Europe is ready to solve the Jewish question once and for all.
It is thus good to learn from past mistakes and remember what history
teaches. And what does history teach us? It teaches:
The Jewish question is not only a German matter!
It is also not only a European problem! The Jewish question is a
world question! Just as Germany is not safe from the Jews as long as
even one Jew remains in Europe, so Europe cannot solve the Jewish question
as long as Jews live in the rest of the world.
Jewry is organized world criminality. The Jewish danger will be
eliminated only when Jewry thoughout the world has ceased to exist.
