STREICHER'S SPEECH IN THE HERCULES HALL IN NÜRNBERG 21 April 1932,
Taken from "Kampf dem Weltfeind," p. 134
. "For 13 years I have fought against Jewry.
"But I know that the German worker can only be won back if these words are continually hammered into him: the Jews are our misfortune.
"All Jews have one common aim: World dominion."
"We know that the Jew whether he is baptized as a' Protestant' or as a Catholic, remains a Jew. Why cannot you realize, you . Protestant clergymen, you Catholic priests, you who have scales before your eyes and serve the god of the Jews who is not the God of Love but the God of Hate? Why do you not listen tö Christ who said to the Jews: 'You are children of the devil.' "
