Extracts from a pamphlet on racial education, emphasizing instruction on the "dangerousness" of Jews and the need to instill hatred of them

Pamphlet "The Jewish question and school instruction" by Municipal School Inspector [Stadtschulrat] Fritz Fink, published and printed by "Der Stuermer," 1937 with a preface by Streicher
Preface -The National Socialist state brought fundamental changes into all spheres of life of the German People.
It has also presented the German teacher with some new tasks. The national socialist state demands that its teachers instruct German children in social questions. As far as the German people is concerned the racial question is a Jewish question. Those who want to teach the child all about the Jew must themselves have a thorough knowledge of the subject. School Inspector Fritz Fink, with his publication "The Jewish Question and schools instruction," will help the teacher in acquiring some knowledge of the subject. He can and is entitled to do this, for he himself has been called upon by circumstances to take part in a struggle which enabled him to gain experience and knowledge concerning Jewish blood and its influence on the German People. Those who take to heart all that has been written with such feeling by Fritz Fink who for many years has been greatly

Introduction
"Racial and Jewish questions are the fundamental problems of the national socialist ideology. The solution of these problems will secure the existence of National Socialism and with this the existence of our nation for all time. The enormous significance of the racial question is recognized almost without exception today by all the German people. In order to attain this recognition, our people had to travel through a long road of suffering. In order that the coming generation be spared this suffering, let us, the German educators of our youth, instill in their hearts, from their early childhood, all there is to know about the Jews. No one should be allowed to grow up in the midst of our people without this knowledge of the monstrous character and dangerousness of the Jew." * * *
Knowledge of racial and Jewish questions must grow organically out of our general system of school education. The racial doctrine and the Jewish question must be like a red thread marking the education of all age groups in our school education. There is no subject from which cannot be drawn an unsuspected full measure of valuable knowledge of the Jewish question.
The attached pamphlet, "The Jewish question and School Instruction," was brought out in an urgent desire to show up some of these possibilities.

- "From the ranks of the teachers comes now the question: 'How should we represent the Jew to our pupils?' Only one answer can be given to this question: 'In all his monstrosity, horror and dangerousness.' Such as he is."
*******
A teacher who has come to a thorough understanding of the Jewish question will make use in his work of the "Stuermer." He reads to the class extracts from an Article which describes how a Jew deceived a peasant etc.
Thus we glide from the purely outward appearance of the Jew to his inner nature. Our fight against the Jew is not for the

reason that he is different in body to ourselves. The bodily difference is not the dangerous part of the Jew. We must make it clear to a child that in the strange appearance of a Jew, which is immediately conspicuous to us, lies a soul, which is fundamentally different in all its emotions and manifestations, from our souls. We must point out that the Jew thinks, feels, and behaves in a different manner from ourselves. That his way of thinking, of feeling and of behaviour is diametrically opposed to our morals and our laws."
Jewry is Criminality
" * * * «But the fact, that in deceit, usury; murder, etc.
Jews see no crime, but consider them as acts pleasing to their God when they are directed against non-Jews—will appear most monstrous to our children. At first it will frighten the children and they will shake their heads incredulously. In the same way as millions of people in Germany scornfully shook their heads when the national socialists' and foremost of all the "Stuermer" exposed the criminal methods and criminal laws of the Jews. "But deceit, usury, falsehood are sins." A boy in the class will cry out,'"We are forbidden to commit them!" The teacher will ask: "Who forbade you to commit them?" "Our conscience. The laws of the State, God."
But if deceit, usury, falsehood, etc. are not crimes, not sin in the eyes of the Jews, then a Jew must have a different conscience, different laws, and a different God than we have, and thus the teacher and his pupils will suddenly find themselves thoroughly involved in the Jewish question and in its most serious aspect.
The manner in which he (the teacher) pursues the question with the children should make clear to them the fundamental reason for all Jewish acts. ,
One who has reached this stage of understanding, will inevitably remain an enemy of the Jews all his life and will instill this hatred into his own children.
