 GERMANY'S FIGHT FOR WESTERN CIVILIZATION
Extraordinary anti-Semitic english language propaganda magazine produced in Germany for foreign consumption, (Berlin: Buchdruckwerkstatte GmbH), ca. 1936, 36pp. 4to., illustrated. This issue attempts to present the Nazi rationale for the persecution of Jews using political and labor statistics, much toned-down when compared to the vitriolic attacks made by "Der Sturmer" and other "attack" publications. The cover bears an image of "half breed lawyer Karl Liebnecht…inciting Bolshevism" as Hitler looks down from a glowing swastika. Within, chapters examine the growth of the Jewish population in Germany, particularly in cities, their vocations, particularly their involvement in industry, law and medicine, their political involvement as "apostles of communism", and so on. There appear the usual caricatures of Jews, with the final photo showing Jews celebrating Rosh Hashanah in 1933 with "no restrictions". What is especially interesting is the writer's indignation over the following facts he had illustrated: In Berlin, 70% of the doctors were Jews; 40% of the top health administrators were Jews; 68% of the welfare doctors were Jews; 54% of the lawyers were Jews; 59% of trade and commerce leaders in Prussia were Jews…etc. The anger seemed to rise from the fact that not enough Jews participated in farming and manual labor…
