 THE JEWISH QUESTION IN THE CLASSROOM
Rare anti-Semitic teaching aid puiblished by Julius Streicher's "Der Sturmer" publishing house, Die Judenfrage im Unterricht ("The Jewish Question in the Classroom"), by Fritz Fink, (Nuremberg: Der Sturmer Verlag). 1937, 48pp. 8vo., illustrated. The text is a teaching aid intended to instruct teachers upon how to introduce the Nazis' race theories into the classroom. It stresses the usual claptrap: children have a natural instinct to avoid foreign races, Jews are not native to Germany, Jewry is a criminal enterprise, and it uses side-by-side comparative photos to illustrate the "differences" between "Aryans" and Jews. The end of the text sets forth anti-semitic quotes from Jesus, on. Very good. Fritz Fink (1893-1945) was not really known for his propaganda, and was likely commissioned to undertake this work. He had earned a degree in Protestant theology, wrote poetry and historical works, and was killed in fighting in the Kurland pocket.
