I just found this 1936 book, The Yellow Spot, which documents in detail the beginnings of Nazi persecution of Jews in Germany, with lots of photos and facsimiles from Nazi media.
The terror in reading this book is in the knowledge that the horrific facts recounted here in mind-numbing detail - the pogroms, the arrests, the anti-Jewish laws, the ordinary Germans enthusiastically joining the hate - were only the opening act to what was to come. All of the events in this book occurred from 1933-35, more than three years prior to Kristallnacht.
The echoes to today's modern antisemitism are striking.
Just like BDS, the Nazi media had their own "cancel culture," taking photos of Germans - especially women - shopping in Jewish-owned stores and publishing them to shame them.
The German call to boycott Jewish businesses sounds a lot like the "BDS call" to boycott Israel:
We ask you, German men and women,
to fall in with this boycott. Do not buy in Jewish shops and
department stores ! Do not go to Jewish lawyers ! Avoid Jewish
physicians ! Show the Jews that they cannot drag Germany’s
honour into the mire without being punished for it ! Whoever
does not comply with this demand proves himself thereby on
the side of Germany’s enemies !
There are hundreds of examples of official and semi-official antisemitism. Just like the UN today says that everything Israel does is a war crime, the trade journal of the National Socialist hairdressers wrote: “A German hairdresser who enjoys ridding Jews of their bristles commits a crime against the community.”
Like the Arabs who find Jews acting like normal people are being "provocative" and saying that their attacks on Jews are the Jews' fault, we see Goebbels in 1934 saying that Jews who aren't "provocative" won't be hurt but those who insist on acting like German citizens will be justifiably attacked:
We have been very lenient with the Jews. But if they think
that therefore they can still be allowed on German stages, offering
art to the German people; if they think that they can still sneak
into editorial offices, writing for German newspapers ; if they still
strut across the Kurfiirstendamm as though nothing had happened,
they might take these words as a final warning. Jewry can rest
assured that we will leave them alone as long as they retire quietly
and modestly behind their four walls, as long as they are not provocative, and do not affront the German people with the claim
to be treated as equals. If the Jews do not listen to this warning,
they will have themselves to blame for anything that happens to
them.
The Nazis' propaganda wasn't only against Jews, but against "Judah"as a nation. Again, the parallels between them and the anti-Israel propaganda in Arab media are obvious.
Judah has striven to harm the German people but has given
it a blessing. On Saturday, 1st April, at 10 a.m., there begins
the German people’s defence against the universal criminal, the
Jew. There starts a fight such as has never been dared before
throughout all the centuries. Judah has asked for the fight, it
shall have it ! It shall have it until it recognises that the Germany
of the Brown battalions is no Germany of cowardice and surrender. Judah shall have the fight until the victory is ours! (Volkischer Beobachter, March 31, 1933)
Iranian media sounds exactly like this today.
Compare the Nazi mistranslations of the Talmud with that of celebrated poet Alice Walker:
Der Sturmer:
This Jew (his name and address follow) belongs to the alien
race that believes itself able to carry on its race defilement with
impunity just as before. He is acting according to the Talmudic
principles of his race. Jewesses are too good for his vileness.
Accordingly he runs after non-Jewesses. Non-Jewesses are,
according to the Talmud, to be regarded as cattle ; the Jew
can, therefore, defile and ruin them with an easy conscience...“ A non-Jewish girl may be defiled as soon as she is three years and one day old.”
Alice Walker, in her
poem, "It Is Our (Frightful) Duty To Study The Talmud:"
Are Goyim (us) meant to be slaves of Jews, and not only
That, but to enjoy it?
Are three year old (and a day) girls eligible for marriage and intercourse?
Are young boys fair game for rape?
Must even the best of the Goyim (us, again) be killed?
Pause a moment and think what this could mean
Or already has meant
In our own lifetime.
You may find that as the cattle
We have begun to feel we are
We have an ancient history of oppression
Of which most of us have not been even vaguely
Aware. You will find that we, Goyim, sub-humans, animals
-The Palestinians of Gaza
The most obvious representatives of us
At the present time – are a cruel example of what may be done
With impunity, and without conscience,
By a Chosen people,
To the vast majority of the people
On the planet
Who were not Chosen.
Antisemitic poems in Der Sturmer sound a lot like the hypnotizing anti-Israel "from the river to the sea" rhymes we hear at anti-Israel rallies:
Jewish hands are red with Christian gore,
We demand Jewish blood and more !
The people hope one day to see a time
When shooting the last Jew will be no crime !
The Nazis carefully prepared things so that Jews literally cannot defend themselves. And that is exactly what the modern antisemites are doing with Israel, accusing it of false war crimes and false apartheid, changing international law itself to put the Jewish state in a corner, twisting anything Israeli Jews to be immoral or to be covering up for immorality, setting up UN commissions whose only purpose is to justify the eventual ethnic cleansing of Jews from the Middle East and to call it a moral imperative. They know Jews can defend themselves militarily now, so they are using other means to try to destroy it, but the goal is the same.
Both the Nazis in this book and the modern antisemites are preparing the world to celebrate a future genocide.
Here is the entire book. It is the most frightening thing you will read this year.
