L’Allemagne en lutte pour la victoire de la culture occidentale – “Germany in the Struggle for the Victory of Western Culture”. A highly antisemitic publication demonstrating through “data” how Jews are taking over Germany from within in all areas of life. Berlin, [c. 1940, according to the WorldCat library catalog]. French. Cover design: Lawyer Karl Liebknecht inspiring the Berlin crowd towards Bolshevism, while Adolf Hitler watches from the sidelines alongside a swastika.
“The new German government found itself compelled to take legal measures to limit, within certain boundaries, the influence of the Jewish element, which had become completely intolerable in all areas of public life…” (From the introduction to the booklet).
An anti-Semitic booklet specifically designed and written to incite fear among the German public, based on “threatening” claims of Jewish dominance in all areas of life in Germany. The booklet contains data, charts, and tables derived from German censuses, illustrating numerical growth trends among Germany’s Jews, increased Jewish migration from rural areas to major cities, statistical data on the disproportionately high number of Jewish judges in Prussia, and charts depicting Jews with stereotypical facial features to demonstrate their increasing presence in cities like Berlin, Hamburg, and Breslau. For example, one chart compares the number of Jews to Germans living in major cities, portraying Jews with exaggerated stereotypical features and Germans with noble appearances. The booklet presents data on the growing Jewish presence in various industries, their alleged complete control over Berlin’s healthcare institutions and other cities, and tables listing the percentage of Jewish children in Berlin’s high schools—including a detailed breakdown of each school and the percentage of Jewish students enrolled. It also includes statistics on Jewish dominance in the legal system, claiming that nearly 100% of Berlin’s lawyers were Jewish, as well as data on Jewish criminals. A dedicated section focuses on Jews as leaders of communist propaganda in Germany, the “cheerful song of the wandering Jew, ” and more. A special chapter is devoted to Jewish control over the German press: “The main weapon of Germany’s Jews was the press. They used it ruthlessly to control public opinion, which was almost entirely at their discretion. A publisher had to summon great courage to print anything that might raise Jewish eyebrows. The Jews possessed powerful economic means to pressure their opponents, and they applied this pressure until their rival was crushed. Even newspapers that were not directly dependent on Jews could not withstand their economic influence through advertising. Local Jewish organizations agreed to boycott any publication the moment they found something in its content displeasing.”
It concludes: “In Berlin, 70% of doctors are Jews; 40% of senior health administrators are Jews; 68% of welfare doctors are Jews; 54% of lawyers are Jews; 59% of trade and commerce leaders in Prussia are Jews…”. All the data presented in the booklet is accompanied by tables and illustrations depicting Jews with exaggerated long noses in a mocking manner, contrasted with their German counterparts in a dignified and noble portrayal.
After presenting the data, the booklet creates a deceptive narrative, portraying the Nazi German government as moral and supposedly treating Jews with kindness. It claims that the exclusion of Jews from professions in Germany through the Nuremberg Laws was merely “minor adjustments” meant to maintain numerical balance. The concluding statements of the booklet were written shortly before the implementation of the “Final Solution”—the complete extermination of the Jews of Germany and the other Nazi-occupied countries: “There is no smoke without fire. This is one of history’s great axioms. After reading these pages, one will understand how, in the end, the German people’s anger erupted against Jewish domination in Germany and why the German government was compelled to reduce their influence in a just manner. The measures taken by the German government are merely slight corrections. All the rumors spread about it are inspired by a spirit of hatred and distort the truth. What is the actual situation? As before, Jews can conduct their business and live their lives. Jewish department stores and other Jewish-owned establishments, Jewish banks, and Jewish newspapers continue to operate as before. The Jewish merchant can conduct business just as any German merchant. With a few rare exceptions, not a single hair has been harmed on any Jew. If we consider the accumulated resentment in Germany against the Israelites, who never spared their sarcasm against the sacred ideals of the German people, and if we recall the bloody reactions unleashed by other revolutions, such as those in France and Russia, one can certainly say that the German revolution, which also rose against Jewry, was the least bloody in history (Has a greater lie ever been written in history? – Dynasty) . Even the restrictive measures taken by the government, for example, regarding Jewish participation in the legal profession, were, in fact, only slight adjustments and not extreme interventions. Jewish judges, lawyers, and doctors who fought on the front lines or were in service before 1914 are not subject to these measures. After the implementation of the law, the percentage of Jews in the legal profession, for instance, decreased by only 8 percent… In its policy towards the Jews, the German government has not acted according to the old Talmudic law of ‘an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, ‘ but according to the principles of Christian morality. And it intends to continue following them.”
On the last page, there is a photograph of Jews celebrating the Jewish New Year, purportedly “proving that they are not subject to any religious restrictions.” The title given to the booklet, “Germany in the Struggle for the Victory of Western Culture, ” was meant to mislead and portray Germany as a nation striving to improve the well-being of its Jewish population and as acting “for the victory of Western culture.” The booklet was originally written in German. The French edition is rare—only a few copies appear in the WorldCat global library catalog.
