Page 21 - The Track Of The Jew Through The Ages - Alfred Rosenberg

Alexander Jacob

One crucially important step in this direction was suggested
th
already by Fichte in the 18 century:
They must have human rights, even ifthese do not belong
to them as to us . . . but to give them civil rights 1 see no
means of doing so, at least, other than cutting off one
night all their heads and placing on them others in which
there is not a single Jewish idea. In order to protect
ourselves from them I see no other means than to conquer
their extolled land for them and to send them all there,
(p. 188)

Following Fichte, Rosenberg suggests his own plan for the
curtailment of Jewish power in Germany which would ensure that

1 .The Jews are recognised as a nation living in Germany.
Religious faith or the lack of it play no role.
2. A Jew is one whose parents, father or mother, are Jews according
to this nationality; a Jew is from henceforth one who has a Jewish
spouse.
3 . Jews do not have the right to engage in German politics in
words, writing or actions.
4. Jews do not have the right to occupy state offices and to serve
in the army either as soldiers or as officers. Their work
performance here comes into question.
5. Jews do not have the right to be leaders in state and communal
cultural institutions (theatres, galleries, etc.) and to occupy
professorial and teaching positions in German schools and
universities.
6. Jews do not have the right to work in state or communal test-,
control-, censorship, etc. commissions; they also do not have the
right to be represented in the directorships of state banks and
communal credit institutions.
7. Foreign Jews do not have the right to settle permanently in
Germany. Acceptance into the German state federation should be
forbidden to them under all circumstances.
