THE RACIAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE
A) Prehistory
While the German people, for example, can be traced in an unbroken line as a settled farming people back to the Nordic race of the Middle Stone Age, the Jewish people are much younger as a distinct ethnic group.
Palestine appears quite late in history.
Until about 2500 BCE, the sparsely populated land seems to have belonged to the western Mediterranean cultural sphere.
Around 2500 BCE, we can also trace the first migration of tribes of desert origin.
At that time, the majority of Palestine’s population probably already consisted of people of Near Eastern race.
Thus, we have those two races that formed, and in part still form, the basis of the population throughout the ancient Near East:
1. The Near Eastern race (according to Günther, also referred to as the Armenoid race) is of medium height, underdeveloped, short-headed with a very steep occiput and a massive, strongly protruding, crooked nose, fleshy lips, prominent lower lips, and heavy dark hair.
Mentally, people of this race are very gifted in trade, possess a flexible mind, strong empathy, cunning, and a considerable talent for acting.
A defining religious characteristic of people of this race is that they view the body and physicality as “flesh” in particularly strong opposition to the soul; this internal conflict repeatedly leads them to see “redemption” from the “sinful flesh” as the true goal of religion.
It is the race whose members created both the temple prostitution of ancient Babylon and monastic asceticism from the same fundamental religious motive.
For them, “world” and “spirit” stand in a particularly stark opposition.
The ancestral homeland of this race is assumed to be in the Caucasus.
Around 3500 BC, people of this race appear to have already settled in Syria and Palestine; short-headed individuals from this earliest period found in Palestine are Near Eastern short-headed individuals.
2. The desert (also Oriental) race, best represented today by the purebred desert Arabian, is medium-sized, distinctly long-headed, narrow-faced, with a fine, occasionally angled nose, slightly curved lips, a short mouth, a pronounced cleft lip, almond-shaped eyes, and lighter skin that appears like the most delicate ivory in the exposed areas; the eyes are dark to hazel brown, with a warm, velvety expression; the hair is dark brown to black, thin, and soft.
Psychologically, this race is thoroughly distinct from that of the Near Eastern people.
The desert-dwelling man has a strong sense of dignity, an emotional life that, incapable of sustained hard labor, can break through from prolonged reverie into sporadic activity, a vivid imagination combined with a remarkable sobriety; he is a poor soldier but a good warrior.
Religious life is shaped by life in the desert, which knows neither an ordered year nor the steady rhythm of agricultural work, such as has led peasant peoples almost everywhere to the recognition of a God of order, who, in the right course of the world, reveals himself to humankind in a pious and helpful way; in the desert’s lifelessness, constantly exposed to dangers, and as a nomadic shepherd, the desert dweller feels himself as a “grain of dust in the hand of the Eternal” (Koran), who does not stand in the same order of life as the divine being(s), but rather as a “servant of God” (Abd allah), imploring the mercy of the “wholly Other”.
God does not speak to him from the order of nature, but from visions, from voices in the desert: “Behold, the voice of the Lord came to His servant…”
All divine experience of this race is “revelation,” in which the richness of often years of religious contemplation—all prophets in this human race therefore spend some years in the desert—is projected outward and received as divine revelation.
The nature of this revelation therefore reflects the abstract image particularly clearly; if the prophet is a morally high-ranking, good-natured personality, such as Muhammad, then the revelation bestowed upon him will possess moral high ground; if, on the other hand, he is a morally lower-ranking personality from a people with questionable tendencies, then the revelation and the image of God that is revealed to him will bear these traits.
Around 2500 BC, therefore, in Palestine, essentially groups of Near Eastern race with some Western influences were overlaid by people of desert race.
Stone tombs and stone visions found in various locations in Palestine suggest that people of Nordic and especially Faelic race, the so-called Cro-Magnon type, who spread megalithic tombs throughout Western Europe and North Africa, also penetrated Palestine.
From 2500 BC onwards, a strong political influence of the Egyptians became noticeable in Palestine.
The ancient Egyptian people were not racially homogenous.
Alongside people of the desert-dwelling “Oriental” race were people of the Hamite race.
The Hamite race is very tall (1.90 to 2 meters for men), slender, long-legged, agile, distinctly long-headed and narrow-faced with a prominent back of the head, large, protruding, often very expressive eyes; their skin color ranges between a reddish light brown and a reddish dark brown.
The hair is dark brown to black, coarse, but not curly.
Psychologically, they are a warlike, intelligent race, gifted in governance and organization—the true master and aristocratic race of Africa.
This type of person was very numerous within the ancient Egyptian population.
Blacks were found in the Egyptian lower classes as slaves, and later also as warriors.
Thus, contact with Egypt throughout antiquity may have carried not only desert-dwelling but also some Hamitic and Black blood to Palestine.
Between 2000 and 1300 BC, the Hittite kingdom arose in Asia Minor.
The Hittite language is Indo-European, and the ruling class of this people was Nordic, but both the vocabulary and the mass of the population show that a Near Eastern racial type predominated.
Although the ruling class of the Hittites conspicuously belonged to the West Indo-European group of peoples (Centum peoples), the state and people of the Hittites were nevertheless predominantly of Near Eastern racial character.
Around 1600 BC, a second group of tribes appeared in the Mitanni, speaking an Indo-Germanic language and even having a very strong Nordic racial basis.
This was a population belonging to the Indo-European group (Satem group), a splinter group of the Sanskrit Indians who did not join the migration to India, but settled as a horse-loving warrior people on the upper Euphrates, and as mercenary warriors, robber knights, and small city-kings, temporarily spread as far as Palestine.
The Egyptian correspondence known as the Amarna Letters has even revealed to us the names of such Aryan city-kings, warband leaders, and field colonels.
Between 1700 and 1580 BC, migrating peoples from the north and from the desert, the so-called Hyksos, advanced through Syria and Palestine as far as Egypt.
Among them, tribes of desert races probably predominated, but some more northern groups, people from the Near East, and certainly some tribes of racially unclear origin were also swept along in this vortex.
In Palestine, we find that the Amorites, a people who undoubtedly spoke a “Semitic” language, i.e., one closely related to modern Arabic, but who were also depicted by the Egyptians as blond and light-eyed, leading Günther, in his work on the racial studies of the Jewish people, to assume a certain northern racial ancestry among them, had settled there.
Finally, from the sea, warlike Sea Peoples of Nordic-Western mix, the ‘Pelishtim’ (Philistines) of the Bible, came from Crete and settled on the coast of Palestine.
We can thus identify the following mixture as the racial history of Palestine: a Near Eastern foundation with very early influences from Cro-Magnon and Western peoples, overlaid by the first migration of desert peoples; then strong Egyptian influence, which also brought some Hamitic and Negro blood into the land, and at the same time the emergence of strong new Near Eastern groups with Nordic and other Turco-Mongolian influences.
A further overlay of desert peoples and a new emergence of Western and Nordic groups through the Philistines.
Between 1580 and 1200, Palestine was again under the rule of the Egyptian pharaohs, which may have brought with it a further certain Hamitic influence.
Linguistically, the Semitic language group became completely distinct; even those peoples with a different racial background, such as the Philistines, spoke a Semitic language.
B) The Emergence of the Jews
In this pronounced transit land of peoples, with its strong racial mixing, the Jews appeared late (between 1400 and 1200).
They arrived with a Semitic language.
They also claim a root relationship with the large desert tribal group of the Arameans.
“A nomadic Aramean was my ancestor,” the Israelite (Exodus 26:5) is to say when he offers his God the firstfruits of the land.
Nevertheless, distinctive features of Judaism appear early on, differentiating it from the other desert peoples as well as from the population of Canaan.
The population of Canaan was larger and taller than the migrating “Israelites.”
To the Hebrew scouts, some Canaanites appeared as giants; the “Children of Anak” around Hebron became synonymous with giants, as did the “Rephaim,” so that the English racial researcher Sayce (The Races of the Old Testament, 1925) described them as branches of the “blond race.”
The Canaanites were an agrarian people with a fairly highly developed urban system; the migrating “Israelite” tribes were certainly not farmers.
C) The Peculiar Jewish tradition
The tribes of Israel were separated from the other tribes of desert race, such as the Arabs, early on by their entirely different morality.
Not even the most depraved, most degenerate Arab tribe would report, let alone with approval and consent, that Abraham twice arranged marriages for his wife for profit, or that Isaac attempted the same feat.
Jacob’s life story, from the usury perpetrated against his brother Esau, through the infidelity and deception of Laban, to the renewed betrayal of old Isaac, consists solely of tales of swindling.
In the figure of Joseph, whether he was a personified tribal god, a wishful image, or a genuine personality, the archetype of the court Jew is foreshadowed.
In these figures there is little of the dignified nature of pure-blooded desert people.
Such legends do not exist among any other people of antiquity.
To other peoples, Judaism must have appeared early on as a peculiar phenomenon, different from that of any other people.
D) The Oldest Accounts of the Origin of Judaism.
The Egyptian writer Manetho, whose story is preserved for us in a lengthy quotation by the Jewish writer Flavius Josephus (who passionately polemicized against him), recounts that a king of Egypt was once instructed by a divine oracle to “free the whole country from the lepers and other tainted people.”
He rounded them up and had them work in the quarries, but ultimately assigned them a city.
“Once they had arrived in the city and thus possessed a suitable place to apostatize, they chose as their leader a priest from Heliopolis named Osarsiphus, and to him they swore to obey in all things.
His first command was to neither worship gods nor abstain from the animals considered sacred in Egypt, but rather to kill and consume them all, and furthermore to associate with no one but members of the conspiracy.
After issuing these and many other commands, which were most contrary to Egyptian customs, he summoned marauding herding tribes expelled from Egypt.
These tribes, together with the corrupted Egyptians, treated the people so outrageously that their rule appeared very evil to all who witnessed these atrocities at that time.
For they not only set fire to cities and villages and were not content with merely plundering the temples.
The priest who established their constitution and laws is said to have been from Heliopolis and to have been named Osarsiph after the god Osiris worshipped there, but then, when he joined that people, he changed his name and called himself Moses.”
The Alexandrian writer Lysimachus (around 100 AD), who wrote in Greek, says the same thing:
“Under the Egyptian king Bocchoris, the Jewish people, afflicted with alopecia, rhabdomyolysis, and other diseases, fled to the temples and begged for sustenance.
Since so many people were affected by the disease, barrenness arose in Egypt.
Bocchoris, the Egyptian king, sent people to Ammon to ask him an oracle about the barrenness.
But the god commanded that the temples be cleansed of unholy and godless people”
Particularly significant in this context is what P. Cornelius Tacitus, reports, apparently based on the study of ancient writers lost to us:
“Most historians agree that when a plague broke out in Egypt, causing bodies to rupture, King Bocchoris consulted the oracle of Ammon and, at his request for a cure, was instructed to purify the kingdom and to expel these people, hateful to the gods, to other lands.
So the rabble was gathered together, taken away, and left to lie in a desert.
To the helpless, weeping mass, Moses, one of the exiles, indicated that they should wait neither for human nor divine help, since they had been abandoned by both, but should entrust themselves to him as a heavenly guide.
To secure the people’s future trust, Moses introduced new customs among them, such as are not found among any other people.
For them, everything that is holy to us is profane.
Everything is permitted that we abhor.”
The number of such voices from classical antiquity could be increased, all of which suggest that the “people of Israel” were the criminals expelled from Egypt.
It is striking that the Bible also records similar traits.
In describing the Exodus from Egypt, it states that “many vagrants went with them” (Exodus 12:38).
Numbers 11:4 likewise refers to a “rabble” accompanying the departing tribes.
The influence of lower social groups in ancient Egypt may also help explain certain physical features that are sometimes observed among Jewish people today, such as Negro curly hair and fuller lips.
Kushi, the Cushite, the great-grandfather of Jehudi the Jew, is explicitly mentioned in Jeremiah (36:14).
However, the term “Kushites” always referred to Negroes; there is much talk of children of Hebrew fathers and Egyptian slave women – but these mothers likely often had a Negro influence.
C) Racial Composition of the “Tribes of Israel”
The composition of the Hebrew people, as they appear before us upon their immigration to Palestine, does not contradict the notion, even from a racial perspective, that they were essentially the lower class of Egypt, including the thieving class there.
The tribes of Israel represented a Near Eastern-desert-Hamitic-Negro mixture, to which one or another person of stronger Nordic blood, who had sunk into the Egyptian lower class or had fallen into these tribes in Palestine, may have been added.
Editor’s note: Sections D and E are not present in the original post.
F) Nordic Influence
The presence of blond people within the Jewish population in Palestine is undeniable.
Günther estimates it at about 15% of the total population.
These would have been primarily more or less Nordic people from the population of Canaan, as well as warriors, who, like the bodyguards of Kings David and Solomon, were “Cretans and Philistines.”
In any case, the Philistines were considerably more Nordic than the tribes of Israel.
Therefore, wherever Nordic blood is still found among Jews today, it will predominantly be due to such admixtures from Palestine.
The present-day Samaritans, who describe themselves as the only pure descendants of the ancient Hebrews, represented a Near Eastern-desert-Hamitic-Nordic mixture; however, since they were expelled from the rest of Judaism by Ezra precisely because they had consorted with foreign women, their stock cannot be considered entirely representative of the stock of the ancient people of Israel.
G) The Consensus of Classical Antiquity
What is crucial for us, in any case, is that the tradition of classical antiquity viewed Judaism not as a people among peoples, but as a late-formed people formed from the lower classes of Egypt plus some robber tribes; that the tribal legend bears entirely roguish traits; and that the attitude towards other peoples indicates that roguish traits were always inherent in the people of Israel and essentially defined them.
Even their conception of God is steeped in them.
In contrast to the “fas,” the pious right of Indo-European peoples, or the hospitality of pure-blooded desert Arabs, Jehovah commands:
“You shall not take any carrion. You may give it to the foreigner residing in your town to eat, or you may sell it to a foreigner; for you are a people holy to the Lord your God.”
Jehovah is probably the only god known to comparative religious history who is sanctified by his followers’ trade in spoiled meat!
The same God promises (Exodus 3:21-22):
“I (Yahweh) will also give this bulwark prestige among the Egyptians, so that when you go away, you will not go away empty-handed.
But every woman shall ask her neighbor and housemate to lend her articles of silver and gold and clothing; you shall put these on your sons and daughters, and thus deprive the Egyptians of their property.”
This is a promise such as no other god in the world has given in history, and such as would only make sense in the mouth of the patron god of a caste of thieves.
Criminal lineages are what formed this people, or at least a substantial part of it.
THE JEWS AS A NATION
A) Establishment in Palestine
The settlement of the tribes in Palestine apparently did not occur all at once, but rather in a fairly slow advance.
In larger and smaller groups, the “Israelite tribes” pushed their way between the cultural areas of the native population, establishing themselves in the then still heavily forested mountainous region.
Culturally, their migration to Canaan undoubtedly meant, for the Canaanites and from the Canaanite perspective, an extraordinary decline in the demands of life and the standard of living.
This can be demonstrated very simply and very vividly to any layperson by showing them, for example, shards of ceramic objects from the pre-Israelite period of Palestine: there one can see how the material is coarser and clumsier in Israelite times; it takes an extremely long time until the former quality is reached again.
Israel never produced its own fine art.
B) Short-Lived Statehood
For a time, under David and Solomon, they managed to gain dominance over the land; only a small portion turned to farming or remained shepherds.
Most established themselves as an exploitative upper class over the distressed Canaanite population.
The level of culture remained extremely low; even for the construction of Solomon’s modest Temple, not enough craftsmen could be found among them.
Time and again, the prophets railed against the adoption of cultural heritage from their more privileged neighbors and the Canaanites.
With Solomon’s death in 933, the kingdom split into two parts.
The southern kingdom of Judah must have contained the stronger element of criminals, for its history is a veritable tangle of regicide and coup.
The northern kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Assyrians in 722, and the wealthier members of the population were deported.
The southern kingdom of Judah succumbed to the Babylonians.
In 587, the late King Zedekiah (Zidkiah) and the upper class were deported to Babylon.
The vine cutters and winegrowers, as they were predominantly not members of the Israelite tribes, were allowed to remain in the land.
C) The Emergence of Modern Judaism from Ezra’s Zionism
The group deported to Babylon became the root of later Judaism, although other closely related elements may have recrystallized from it.
In 539, the Iranians (Persians) conquered Babylon and allowed the deported Judeans to return to Palestine.
The first wave of Zionism brought about a return migration of the most convinced and “Jewish” Judeans to Palestine.
The same pattern played out then as it does today.
The native population in Palestine desperately tried to prevent this return migration.
Nehemiah (governor of Jerusalem since 445), and after him the priest Ezra, who led another group of Jews to Jerusalem in 433, compiled the earlier laws as the “Torah of Moses,” but above all, they forced the Jews to expel all women of foreign descent.
Ezra’s actions had the racially significant consequence of directing Hebrewness toward the blood-based separation from other peoples.
Thus, the separation of ethnicity and faith became something like the blood-based separation of a specific racial mixture.
The prophecy of Nehemiah and Ezra brought about the unification of those descendants of the ancient Hebrews from whom the Judaism now scattered throughout the world originated.
D) The Jewish Racial Law
In this way, a new race did not emerge, but rather a distinct group of people of very specific types.
Since the time of Ezra and Nehemiah, it has been forbidden for Jews to marry women of non-Jewish blood, but they are permitted, indeed encouraged, to spread their lineage as widely as possible through illegitimacy and can even, if it is in the interest of the Jewish community, give their daughters in marriage to foreigners.
While foreign peoples were thus permeated with Jewish blood, “pure” Jewish blood repeatedly interbred with “pure” Jewish blood within the male line of the Jewish community.
In this way, a concentration of specifically Jewish characteristics arose, both physical and mental.
The fact that the diverse mix of Jewish bloodlines is so similar today that one can find characteristic Jewish features among both very blond and very dark-haired Jews is due to this close, consciously cultivated blood relationship.
Jews are more closely related to one another than other peoples.
Jewish law has simultaneously fostered a biological selection of the most roguish elements within Judaism.
E) Selection of Fraudulent Schemes Through the “law”
The interpretation of the Torah of Moses gave rise (around 500 CE) to the Talmud (of Babylon); a large collection of rabbinical sayings, debates, and interpretations; it then proved to be largely unwieldy for Judaism in the Middle Ages, so that in the “Set Table” (Shulchan Aruch) the rabbis Joseph Naro and Maushe Isserles created a summary of Jewish law.
Here, the legal distinction is very sharply emphasized: There are two beings from this world, Jews and all other beings.
Of the Jews, Yahweh says:
“You are called Adam (i.e., humans), but the nations of the world are not called humans.”
A non-Jew is explicitly considered to be like an animal.
As such, he has neither property nor a legally valid marriage, just as a fox has no ownership of his den or a stork has no legal relationship with his mate.
Consequently, the property of a non-Jew is at the mercy of every Jew.
Adultery with a non-Jewish woman is not considered adultery under Jewish law.
Therefore, a non-Jew cannot be legally cheated by a Jew, just as one cannot “cheat” an animal.
From this, it follows that under Jewish law, it is not punishable if a Jew cheats a non-Jew; however, if a Jew cheats another Jew, he is not punished for this, but must return the profit to the other Jew.
If, however, he has only cheated him up to one-sixth of the total sum, he does not have to return anything.
According to the Shulchan Aruch, a Jew may also cheat another up to one-sixth of the total sum.
It is quite obvious that, by law, the more cunning and roguish person is given a greater chance of survival; Accordingly, according to the Shulchan Aruch, anything that the victim does not immediately pursue is considered to have been given up by him through voluntary surrender (yish).
In Jewish criminal law, only the direct perpetrator is punished—accomplices, accessories, and receivers of stolen goods are exempt from punishment under Jewish law.
If two Jews, such as Shmul (Samuel) and Maushe (Moses), establish a trading company, and Shmul steals a wallet from a non-Jew, he must give half of the stolen sum to Maushe—for such activities are part of the normal operation of a Jewish trading company.
However, if the non-jew succeeds in forcing the thief to return the stolen goods, Maushe does not have to contribute his share—for why else would Shmul have allowed himself to be caught?!
Jewish law biologically favors the dishonest.
Talmudic thought trained early on in the characteristics of cunning legal evasion.
THE HISTORY OF THE JEWS UNTIL THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM
A) Judaism Under Persians and Greeks
Judaism repaid the Iranians (Persians) poorly for their magnanimous and unsuspecting return to Palestine.
The Book of Esther—whether it is a work of fiction or based on a real event—expresses the Jews’ profound hatred for this noble northern people.
The Jews outlived the Persian Empire, but after the death of Alexander the Great (323 BCE), they came under the rule of the Diadochi of Syria, Greek generals who succeeded Alexander the Great.
They resisted attempts to introduce the high Hellenic culture to Judaism during the Maccabean Wars (167–130 BCE).
These struggles are wrongly described as “national liberation struggles.”
Those hordes, who recognized nothing in the world except Yahweh and Moses’ law, had no real national values to defend.
Their narrow-minded and crude fanaticism turned with profound hatred against the radiant Greek culture; comparable to the Mahdist dervish hordes of the previous century in Sudan, they succeeded in driving the armies of King Antiochus out of Palestine in the clash of their frenzied hordes.
All Jews who embraced Hellenic culture were thereby annihilated.
B) Extermination of the Less Jewish Elements
At that time, the first step was the extermination of the less Jewish elements, all Jews who did not so hatefully distance themselves from Hellenistic thought as the strict believers zealously demanded.
Thus, a Jewish priestly state was formed (130 to 63 BC), in which the truth of the saying was once again proven: that Jews, left to themselves, consume and destroy each other in terrible mutual hatred.
Thus, yet another selection of people arose who tend toward the most tenacious religious zeal and boundless intolerance.
C) The South and the Roman Empire
When Palestine came under Roman rule, this opened up opportunities for Jews to operate as slave traders and moneylenders throughout the Roman Empire.
Early on, the Jewish philosopher Philo of Alexandria could boast that all the lands of the Roman Empire were covered with Jewish settlements, and the geographer Strabo (a contemporary of Christ) likewise stated that the Jews had gone everywhere and that there was hardly a place in the world where they could not be found.
The Jews quickly became associated with the criminality of various peoples; Tacitus reports:
“Depraved people who have fallen away from the faith of their nations pay tribute wherever the Jews have become powerful.
Firmly united, with a fervent hatred for all non-Jews”
Convinced that Jehovah had given them all other nations, and fundamentally roguish, Judaism formed a pervasive foreign element in the Roman Empire.
In the years 66 to 70, the Jews attempted to overthrow Roman rule in Palestine by force.
After committing terrible atrocities, they succumbed to the emperor, Titus, who destroyed Jerusalem and rightly earned his epithet “Joy and Bliss of Mankind” through this act alone.
Further Jewish uprisings, mobilizing the slave masses in Cyprus and Cyrene in North Africa, and finally an uprising in 135 AD under Bar Kochba (“Son of the Star”), in which the rural population of Palestine was swept up and which caused the Romans considerable trouble, remained unsuccessful for the Jews.
It appears that the more violence-prone type perished in this process.
The heavy fighting meant a selection process again in the direction of the particularly cunning type in trade and business, without, however, completely eradicating the tendency towards lawless violence in Judaism.
D) Significance of the Christianization of Antiquity for the Racial Fate of Judaism
The adoption of the doctrine of Christianity meant, firstly, that the Jewish tradition of the Old Testament was also brought to peoples who had previously known nothing of it.
Jewish ways of thinking and experiencing thus entered the spiritual lives of peoples who had previously had nothing to do with them.
Through the equation of the world god with the Jewish Yahweh, this tribal god of the Jews was raised to the throne wherever Jupiter Optimus Maximus, Zeus, Wodan, Swantewit, or whatever the various national manifestations of the ancient sky and law god were called, had stood.
Racially, the adoption of the Christian faith meant, firstly, a certain racial barrier towards the unbaptized Jew; Early on, the Christian Church forbade marriage with Jews and early on opposed Christians performing service in the homes of Jews.
Conversely, the adoption of the Christian faith meant the opening of racial barriers.
While not prevalent in the Roman Empire with its strong racial mixing, it was among the Germanic peoples that the principle had previously been that one did not marry people of foreign blood, and that free men married only free women.
This blood barrier was now overcome.
Early Christianity initially combated the racial barrier as contrary to God: “There is neither Gentile nor Greek here, nor is there slave nor free,” as Paul states in Galatians 2:28.
Furthermore, the question of slavery and the question of social classes could not gain significance in an eschatological belief in the afterlife, i.e., a belief in an imminent end of the world and the arrival of the Kingdom of God.
However, when this end of the world did not occur, an earthly conclusion was drawn from such statements as those made by Paul.
The abolition of barriers between peoples and races, the barriers between free and unfree.
JEWS IN GERMANY
A) Earliest Appearance
On German soil, the Jewish colonies of the Roman era were apparently destroyed during the Migration Period.
Rather, we see Jews playing a greater role only from 500 AD onwards in the Frankish Empire, when the great upheaval of the existing social order took place there.
The formerly free peasant was forced on his deathbed to divide his hitherto indivisible farm and to give a share to the church.
Viable, formerly free farms were thus replaced by uneconomical parceled estates, which soon had to borrow land from secular and ecclesiastical magnates in exchange for corvée labor and forced labor.
Overly stubborn peasantry were conscripted for military service on distant frontiers until they submitted to dependency.
From the Frankish Empire, the enslavement of the peasantry spread to the other continental Germanic tribes; in 718, the Alemannic Swabians were forced to make a donation to the church on their deathbeds, as were the Bavarians in 729.
The result of Emperor Charlemagne’s campaigns against the Saxons was also that large parts of the Saxon peasantry became enslaved.
Sons of serfs who had become free peasants were concentrated on the manor farms of that time.
A flourishing slave trade developed.
B) Jews as Slave Traders
The Jews were the driving force behind this slave trade, as Bishop Agobard of Lyon described it in detail.
The Arab writer Ibn Khordadbeh, a contemporary of the Carolingian period, provides a comprehensive account of the methods and routes of this Jewish slave trade.
Under Emperor Charlemagne’s son, Louis the Pious, the influence of the Jewish slave traders was so strong that the emperor and his court were considered to have been bribed by them, and some influential members of the Frankish court converted to Judaism.
C) Jews as Moneylenders and Receivers of Stolen Goods
The Jewish slave trade came to a standstill on German soil with the decline of the Carolingians and ended completely around the year 1000, while it continued for a longer time in Eastern Europe.
There was no restriction on the economic activity of Jews; Jews could acquire land and were firmly established in larger and smaller cities.
They initially focused on wholesale trade.
However, the more the money economy spread, and the moral sensibilities of the European peoples turned against usury, the more favorable the situation of the Jews became.
The European Middle Ages rejected usury, firstly because it guaranteed the creditor an effortless income at the debtor’s expense, but also because, within the context of the needs-based economy of the medieval city, where craft guilds sought to ensure the honest livelihood of every skilled master, the indebted craftsman had to work not only for himself and his family but also for his creditor, thus necessarily competing with other masters for their livelihood.
The Church followed this popular vote and forbade usury for pastoral reasons.
However, the Jews, as bearers of the promise of salvation, the tradition of the Old Testament, and as examples of their role in the crucifixion of Christ, were the only non-Christians tolerated in the Christian states of the Middle Ages.
Since the Church forbade every Christian from lending money at interest, the Jews, as the only class not affected by this prohibition, were granted a privilege to engage in usury.
Princes and authorities facilitated their lending activities, often in exchange for high fees.
In 1090, Bishop Rüdiger Huozman of Speyer even granted the Jews of his community—and almost all authorities followed suit—the right, if stolen goods were found in a Jew’s shop, to swear that the Jew had received these goods as collateral.
He was not obligated to say who had pawned them.
The rightful owner could thus not reclaim the goods unless he paid the sum of the collateral specified by the Jew.
This privilege of receiving stolen goods led to a situation in the Middle Ages where all thieves and robbers brought their stolen goods to the Jews.
Since it spread throughout Europe, the technical terms of thieves’ slang in almost all European languages still originate from Hebrew.
The privilege of charging interest and receiving stolen goods made the Jews rich.
In expulsions of Jews, the craftsmen (who were undercut and harmed by the Jews with spoiled pawned goods and stolen goods), but also peasants and the minor knights, resisted the Jews.
The largest expulsions of Jews occurred in 1096, then 1146, and were particularly intense from 1336 to 1338 and 1348 to 1349.
Numerous Jews from Germany emigrated to Poland.
There they joined with the remnants of the Khazars, a Finnish-Turkic people who had converted to Judaism in the 8th century, and with Jews from Asia Minor who had been drawn from the Black Sea region.
This gave rise to the very large Eastern European Jewish population, which still carries medieval German elements with it in its “Yiddish” language.
D) Infiltration of Jewish blood in the Middle Ages.
The number of Jewish baptisms in the Middle Ages was not very high; where Jews were forcibly converted, they almost always returned to Judaism.
In the entire Margraviate of Brandenburg, only eight Jewish baptisms took place in the 15th and 16th centuries.
Extramarital relations between Jews and Christians were forbidden and severely punished.
The infiltration of Jewish blood into our people cannot therefore have been significant, especially since the craft guilds required their apprentices to prove legitimate and German birth, and the knighthood likewise demanded proof of “birth to helmet and shield” from their members, and the marriage customs of the peasantry were very strict.
Where Jewish blood did enter, it could only occur illegitimately and generally among the lowest classes.
Even entering the houses of “beautiful wild maidens” was forbidden to Jews in places like old Frankfurt am Main.
E) Court Jews and the First Eastern European Jewish Immigration
Through usury and fencing, the Jews rose in status and in the 15th century, when the previous feudal armies were replaced by the much more costly mercenary armies, they first became court Jews of individual princes.
When the Thirty Years’ War ended on German soil in 1648, a terrible Cossack uprising broke out in the neighboring Republic of Poland, directed particularly against the Jews under the great Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky.
This was followed by similarly anti-Jewish uprisings among the Polish peasantry.
Approximately a quarter of a million Jews in Poland were killed.
At least as many perished in the German lands.
From the late 17th century onward, we find that the number of Jews in Germany had almost everywhere doubled, even tripled.
From buying stolen goods, the Jews moved on to organizing thefts, and finally to forming large armed Jewish robber bands, which reached their peak in the Rhineland between 1790 and 1810.
F) The Error of “Emancipation”
The Enlightenment made a fateful error regarding the Jewish question.
Inwardly free from the poisonous conflicts of the confessions, seeking a natural religiosity, and full of confidence in the good qualities of humankind, the spiritual minds of the German Enlightenment, unaware of the laws of race and heredity, believed it was possible to lift the Jews out of their despised position and their socially harmful atmosphere of usury, haggling, and theft by granting them equality with other citizens and improving their taxation.
Toward the end of the 18th century, marriages with baptized Jews became more frequent.
The French Revolution then granted Jews full civic equality in 1791; this was extended to the territories of Germany under direct French rule by Napoleon I and to the states of the Confederation of the Rhine by the princes allied with Napoleon.
In Prussia, Hardenberg granted Jews equal rights under state law in 1812, after wealthy Jews had already achieved extensive social equality.
This movement toward complete legal equality for Jews experienced only a temporary setback to the Congress of Vienna, until finally, in the Second Reich, all remaining “civil restrictions” on Judaism as a “religion” were abolished.
The racial question was not even considered during that period.
JUDAISM ON GERMAN SOIL IN THE 19TH AND 20TH CENTURIES.
A) The Increase
The Jewish population on German soil increased through immigration from the east.
An inept school policy, which practically forced German education on Jews, further fueled this movement in the provinces of Posen and West Prussia.
Finally, ever-larger numbers of Jews also streamed in from the Austrian and Russian parts of Poland.
In Berlin, the Jewish population rose from 3,373 in 1816 to 92,013 by 1910.
Greater Berlin already counted 150,000 Jews by faith in 1913.
The Jews abandoned their Yiddish dialect, deserted Jewish dress and customs, and outwardly assimilated into the local population.
Intermarriage increased.
In 1905 of every hundred Jewish marriages, 44% were with a partner of German blood.
Judaism became wealthy, it conquered the education system; as early as 1904, 80% of Jewish children in Berlin (compared to only 25% of non-Jewish children) attended better educational institutions.
B) The Jewish Baptisms
Irresponsible Jewish missions facilitated the acquisition of Jewish identity cards as a means of disguise for infiltrating German society.
It is noteworthy that Jewish baptisms increased whenever anti-Jewish sentiment was palpable among the population, as during the time of Stöcker’s and later the National Socialist struggle, the wave of Jewish baptisms swelled, while conversely, it also swelled in the years 1848 to 1889, when they felt secure under the protection of a government system favorable to them.
In total, we can expect approximately 45,000 statistically recorded Jewish baptisms in Germany between 1800 and 1933, almost always involving racial mixing.
C) The Illegitimate Infidelity
Even more alarming than this widespread influx of Jewish blood into our nation through legitimate marriage was the significant illegitimate infiltration with Jewish blood.
The last police prohibitions against extramarital relations with Jews had fallen at the end of the 18th century, and Judaism, now utilizing its greater wealth, was able to promote the large-scale extramarital infiltration of the German people with Jewish blood.
D) The Judaization of the Mind
Most sinister of all was the intrusion of the Jewish spirit into the thinking of our people.
The baptized Jew Friedrich Julius Stahl (actually Iolson), the descendant of notorious fences from the old Jewish community of Heidingsfeld near Würzburg, became the recognized professor of Prussian constitutional and canon law and the intellectual founder of the Prussian Conservative Party.
He created an anti-nationalist doctrine of the state that derived the state not from the people, but from the authorities appointed by Yahweh.
He denied the idea of national unity and preached not the preservation of living national and racial values, but the protection of “throne and altar.”
This doctrine denied the existence of bonds.
The son of the baptized Jew, Councilor of Justice Marx (actually Mordechai) in Trier, the writer Karl Marx, seized intellectual leadership of the working class, to whom he offered as his goal the destruction of all existing states and the takeover of all power by the (Jew-led) proletariat, the dissolution of the Aryan fundamental values of property and national solidarity.
Meir Anschel Rothschild and his five sons, followed by a whole series of Jewish financiers, however, desired to replace the former position of the court Jew with the power of the Jewish bank that issued government bonds.
The court Jew could still fall out of favor and have his claims revoked; the bank did not deal with a single prince, but with the anonymous state, and if the state wanted to reduce the high burdens, their self-interest led the numerous small savers, who had also bought government bonds, to support the bank against such attempts by the state.
In the fields of art, theater, music, medicine, and, most dangerously, the administration of justice, Judaism seized decisive positions.
In criminal law, under the banner of “humanization,” the Jewish legal system fought to portray criminals as “born” criminals, who therefore could not be held accountable for their actions.
It then sought to depict criminals as victims of their environment, thereby excusing them and promoting social upheaval.
Finally, it aimed to portray their actions as the effect of repressed compulsions in the subconscious….
All with the goal of reducing punishment and fostering the growth of professional criminals as the core force of the planned Jewish revolution, as had once been the case in the Roman Empire.
For the same reason, all findings concerning race and heredity were systematically and deliberately attacked by the Jewish press, public opinion, and academia.
The 19th and early 20th centuries in Europe, and also among the German people, were a time of extensive intellectual and spiritual Judaization, beginning with the deeds of the patriarchs in the Old Testament glorified in schools and ending with the teachings of Marx, Ricardo, and Stahl, coupled with an influx of Jewish blood into the national body on an unprecedented scale.
