PS-2662: Hitler’s Anti-jewish aims as expressed in "mein kampf"

' MEIN KAMPF, Adolf Hitler [Pages 724-725]
And again it is the National Socialist Movement which has to fulfill its most tremendous task:
It must open the eyes of the people with regard to foreign nations and must remind them again and again of the true enemy [the Jew] of our present-day world. In the place of the hate against Aryans—from whom we may be separated by almost everything, to whom however, we are tied by common blood or the great tie of a common culture—it must dedicate to the general anger the evil enemy of mankind, as the true cause of all suffering.
It must see to it, however, that, at least in our country, he be recognized as the most mortal enemy and that the struggle against him may show, like a flaming beacon of a better era, to other nations too, the road to salvation for a struggling Aryan mankind.
