NATIONAL POLITICAL ENLIGHTENMENT PAMPHLETS
NO. 5
The Racial Awakening of the German Nation by Dr. Rudolf Frercks
Propaganda Publishing Co. Paul Hochmuth, Berlin W 35,
Pages 24-25.
It has often been said that National Socialism is purely negative and destructive in its attitude toward the racial question and that its material substance is the rowdy anti-Semitism. This reproach does not affect the essential point and disregards entirely the success and aim of the work toward racial education. In the Jewish question, which was our most tangible one, a whole generation that only learned to see men in men has recognized the importance of the racial question for their own people as well as for the rest of the world. The whole treatment of the Jewish problem in the years prior to our seizure of power is to be regarded essentially from the point of view of the political education of the German people, who had lost to a dangerous degree all racial instinct.
In this question, which appeared in its own light in Germany, the eyes of many Germans were opened, and with the simultaneous appeal to all heroic and manly values of the German people there arose the racial selection of political fighting natures, which today represents the leadership of the 'new state.
