The “Jewish Problem” was the subject of a great deal of research and discussion in the 1920s and 1930s in Germany. It was a worldwide problem, actually, but only the Germans had the courage to even think about it, much less discuss it openly and in a rational context.
The universal subtext to “Jewish Problem” is how to eliminate the Jews as a race. That was not the problem at all.
The problem, especially severe in Germany, was that the world had just been through a very severe depression in 1923-24. Virtually all personal wealth in Germany had been wiped out. Millions of Germans had died of starvation because they could not afford to pay the going rate for a loaf of stale bread: a million marks.
The people peddling this bread were Jewish merchants. Jews had diversified their assets to other nations or had wealth in material goods (gold, jewelry, inventory in their stores, warehouses all over Europe in their supply networks), and so they were not hit as hard by the 1923-24 depression, but actually ended up in a position to profit from it – which they did, enormously.
The Jews were a prosperous mercantile class before the 1923-24 depression. After it, they became so enormously wealthy as to be the de facto ruling class, in absolute control of all financial institutions.
The “Jewish Problem” is how fellow Germans could stand by and watch millions of other Germans die of starvation because they had only 100,000 marks to pay for a loaf of bread the Jews wanted 1,000,000 Marks for.
Did the Jewish leaders think their own good fortune was a message from God that they really were the “chosen people” and so they should make the best of it? Nobody knows, and the
Jews weren’t telling.
The German people say the German Jews, then, as more than traitors – they did more than let their German neighbors die of disease and starvation – men, women, children – they didn’t even have the decency to feel sorry for them.
The Jews just watched the Germans die by the millions, only concerned with making a profit.
Germany pulled out of the 1923-24 depression. Along with the rest of the world, the Germans waltzed through the “roaring 20s” on a wild, extravagant ride of prosperity.
Then came the Wall Street Crash of 1929. The world was in the grips of another depression; a very long and terrible one. The Germans were keen on the Jews this time. As the only people who had studied the “Jewish Problem,” they watched to see how the Jews would behave during this depression.
The Jews remained cold and aloof. They still had no empathy for their German friends and neighbors; still worked the system to make a profit; still turned a blind eye to the Germans who died by the millions from disease, starvation and the brutal cold of the German winters.
When Germany pulled itself out of the Great Depression, that’s when the anti-Semitism began in earnest. Fool me once shame on you; fool me once shame on me.
