The Track of the Jew through the Ages

not a single Jew. As for the day-workers, they have multiplied so
much and gained so much influence thanks to their press that they
know how to suppress every king. They are indeed, everywhere,
403
communists. If a Professor Ehrlich was extolled to the Germans
by the Jewish newspapers (and which newspapers were not that
until 1933?) as a new saviour, greater than Christ, proclaimed as
the greatest genius of the century, that is - along with an organic
incapacity to distinguish great from small - propaganda for national
404
goals. Even a Professor Jacques Loeb, who has researched with
much industry the disease of the love of the fatherland, to decipher
it as a hyper-stimulation ofthe nerves, belongs with all the others of
his race and those influenced by the Jewish mind to those who are
eternally alien to us. Even here the tendency is to make out of a
research principle (mechanics) a rigid dogma of materialism. This
goal has well-nigh been reached.
Let me not be misunderstood. I do not at all maintain that
the Jew is the only one to blame for the bestial materialisation of
our life, but I ascertain the fact that he placed his entire forces of
energy and money in the service ofa tendency that makes everything
marketable, and that he had to do this also necessarily according to
his entire centuries-old race. The German mind, left to itself, would
have soon established its own equipoise, but through the Jewish
power in the press, theatre, trade and science it was made almost
impossible for it.
We ourselves were to blame; for we should not have
emancipated the Jews but should have created insurmountable
exceptional laws for the Jew as Goethe, Fichte, Herder 405 had
demanded in vain. One does not leave poison lying round
