Document Summary

Herder/fichter: there was a belief in both of these men that the jewish race was barbaric and inhuman. If they insist on staying, all jews should be baptized into christianity (then they would be allowed to stay): 225 000 people signed this petition (in the berlin area alone). He attempts carry a fair bit of weight. Nazi: under the nazi regime, the jews of austria were the most distasteful, because they should know better they are the most dishonourable in nazi eyes. They should be destroyed. (austrian jews were worse than german jews): secret plans against germany revealed (1933) A nazi document proclaiming that there was going to be a jewish world conference with all of the world"s important jews would gather and discuss plans. It said that they were going to determine the history of the world. They would then dominate the world so that anyone who wasn"t a jew would be destroyed.
