The juxtaposition of many quotations from newspapers in the first part and of the reports on events in the second part of each annual chapter is designed to help the reader to form his own opinion. For that reason the author has mostly held back from providing his own comments. As regards the Title: “Anti-Semitic NS racial mania” 1. By mania I understand a completely dominant, objectively unfounded, but irrefutable fixation on one “idée fixe”. For the topic treated here that is the Nazi claim that t h e Jews - every one of them individually and all of them together – were the cause of all the problems that had arisen since 1914. They were all judged to be Jewish capitalists and Jewish Bolshevists. To reduce multiple causes in this way to a single root for all national difficulties is “pure madness”. 2. Whilst Hitler connected the concept of the “Jewish race” with “Jewish blood” he did not specify any scientifically provable racial characteristics. According to his definition a Jew was someone who descended from at least one Jewish grandfather or grandmother. The Judaism of that grandfather or grandmother was not recognised as deriving from his “blood” or any racial characteristic, but from the outward membership by at least one grandparent of a synagogue community. This was not a matter of inheriting or passing on a religious belief - that was of no consequence. It was a matter only of the fact of membership of a grandparent and the fact of descent; the personal religious belief of the individual Jew played no role. 3. Hitler thus maintained the opinion expressed in his polemic “Mein Kampf “, which he had written in 1924/27 and which was the decisive textbook of the Nazi movement. 4. Next to the racial madness was the delusionary overestimate of himself as “Führer” (leader) and the collective Hitler cult by the German people. • All soldiers and officials, as well as all pastors and all youths over the age of 14 had to swear an oath to Hitler personally – not to the rights and the wellbeing of the people, • Parliament was dissolved and the Reichstag was only summoned in order to take official note of the decisions of the Reich government without debating them or voting, • The independence of the law courts and any form of power sharing was abolished, • and the freedom of the press and of expressing one’s opinion was gradually done away with. In this manner dictatorship became the extreme opposite of democracy. 5. Individualism was rejected and the value of the individual disregarded; in its place the “people” were apparently authoritative, clearly summarised in the slogan: You are nothing, your people is everything! In this way it was attempted not only to destroy the Jews systematically to “protect” the German people, but in the end to sacrifice even the German people as a “race” which in the long run was inferior and too weak. As regards the Structure: In this book a chronology has been drawn up for each year, essentially on the basis of the reports in the local newspaper, to describe the general situation. The second part of each annual description contains a report how the laws were implemented as regards the Jews in Fritzlar, a North Hesse town near Kassel. This method clarifies the effects of general orders on actual persons and situations in a specific town. 1933 5 The years of terror 1933-1945 1st phase: Restriction of earning opportunities and pressure towards emigration In the early stages the aim of the National Socialist (NS) policy was to shatter the influence and economic power of the Jews and to expel them from Germany. Two hurdles stood in the way of this aim: one had been put up by the German side itself, i.e. the high taxes on departure; the other hurdle had been raised by the other countries, in other words their strict limits on immigration. The first NS year A chronology of the year 1933 On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Reichskanzler (Imperial Chancellor) by Hindenburg. As early as 2nd February it became clear that the Communists would be the first to be fought and persecuted.1 On 27 Feb a draft “Order against betrayal of the German People“ was submitted to the Reichspresident, stating “particularly severe damage to German interests may also be noted where someone launches detrimental news in the foreign press”. The order was adopted on 28 Feb. In the night of 27/28 February, the Reichstag (Parliament) building was set on fire, and as one of the suspected arsonists the Dutch communist Nauro Marius van der Lubbe of Leyden was arrested. The Reichstag members and officials of the Communist party, a total of 130 persons, were immediately arrested. The Osterhofen camp was installed as the first Hessian concentration camp (KZ). On 1st March, i.e. the day after the Reichstag fire, an “Order for the Protection of People and State” “for defence against Communist acts of violence imperilling the State” was passed. Right from the beginning Jews became victims of the fight against Communism. Thus we can read in the Homberger Kreisblatt of 2nd March that during “a search of a Jewish tearoom in Berlin” 30 foreigners had been arrested who were unable to produce residence permits. And on 3rd March one could read: “ The premises of the Centralverein deutscher Staatsbürger jüdischen

  • The Role of Antisemitism in the Expulsion of Non-Aryan Students, 1933-1945 Béla Bodo
    The Role of Antisemitism in the Expulsion of non-Aryan Students, 1933-1945 Béla Bodo “The goal is achieved! No more Jews at German Universities,” read the headline of the main Nazi student paper, Die Bewegung, in late 1938. The author hailed the students as the vanguard of Nazism at the institutions of higher learning. The student journalist argued that students, rather than professors and academic administrators, had pioneered antisemitism at German universities before 1933. By putting pressure on the authorities to expedite the expulsion of Jews, the journalist concluded, students made an important contribution to the creation of the Nazi university in the Third Reich.1 This contemporary assessment of the role of students and professors stands in sharp contrast to the conclusions of modern historians. The two most important articles written on the expulsion process concentrate almost exclusively on the operation of the Nazi bureaucratic machine and on the fights between various party and state organizations, each trying to aggrandize itself by realizing its own agenda. They do not discuss, however, what happened to Jewish students at the local level during the months after the Nazi takeover in January 1933. Neither do they examine the roles and motives of Gentile students and professors in the expulsion process.2 Beside these articles, there are also a number of local studies that deal in passing with the fate of Jewish students. However, they tend to limit themselves to the description of events, to the listing of administrative measures, and to providing statistical data on the decline of the Jewish student population.3 As far as motivation is concerned, the books on the 1 Die Bewegung, 47 (1938), Bundesarchiv (BA) Koblenz, ZSg 129/152.

  • Two Kingdoms in the Third Reich Transcript
    Two Kingdoms in the Third Reich Transcript Date: Thursday, 9 March 2017 - 1:00PM Location: Barnard's Inn Hall 9 March 2017 Two Kingdoms in the Third Reich Professor Alec Ryrie This is a series of lectures on ‘extreme Christianity’, and it does not get much more extreme than this. You are familiar with Godwin’s Law, also known as the reductio ad Hitlerum: the notion that every argument in the modern world eventually progresses to the point where someone invokes a Nazi comparison, and the whole thing then collapses. There is a reason for that. Thanks to the Nazis, since 1945 Western civilisation has had something which it had not had for at least two centuries before that: an all-but universally accepted reference point for evil. That is important for any attempt to understand our culture, but it is especially important from the point of view of the history of religion in the West. Because defining evil, the whole business of mapping out what morality is, is supposed to be the core business of any religious community. And in the case of Nazism, Europe’s main religious communities plainly failed to do this. The slow realisation of Nazism’s evil was an essentially secular event, and the fact that our public life is now organised around an essentially secular definition of evil seems to me to be a key fact in understanding the history of religion in modern times. Today I want to look at the sorry story of how German’s Christian communities responded to Nazism: a story of collaboration, enthusiastic enabling, and of strictly limited pushback.

    The Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People Jerusalem (CAHJP) PRIVATE COLLECTION MARION R. COHN – P 325 Xeroxed registers of birth, marriage and death Marion Rene Cohn was born in 1925 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany and raised in Germany and Romania until she immigrated to Israel (then Palestine) in 1940 and since then resided in Tel Aviv. She was among the very few women who have served with Royal British Air Forces and then the Israeli newly established Air Forces. For many years she was the editor of the Hasade magazine until she retired at the age of 60. Since then and for more than 30 years she has dedicated her life to the research of German Jews covering a period of three centuries, hundreds of locations, thousands of family trees and tens of thousands of individuals. Such endeavor wouldn’t have been able without the generous assistance of the many Registors (Standesbeamte), Mayors (Bürgermeister) and various kind people from throughout Germany. Per her request the entire collection and research was donated to the Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People in Jerusalem and the Jewish Museum in Frankfurt am Main. She passed away in 2015 and has left behind her one daughter, Maya, 4 grandchildren and a growing number of great grandchildren. 1 P 325 – Cohn This life-time collection is in memory of Marion Cohn's parents Consul Erich Mokrauer and Hetty nee Rosenblatt from Frankfurt am Main and dedicated to her daughter Maya Dick. Cohn's meticulously arranged collection is a valuable addition to our existing collections of genealogical material from Germany and will be much appreciated by genealogical researchers.

  • To a Millennial Kingdom: the Nazi Aryanization of Christianity
    TO A MILLENIAL KINGDOM: THE NAZI ARYANIZATION OF CHRISTIANITY Daniel Lucca Honors Thesis: Department of History University of Colorado Boulder Defense Date: April 5th, 2018 Defense Committee: Primary Advisor: Dr. David Shneer, Department of History Outside Advisor: Dr. Saskia Hintz, Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literatures Honors Council Representative: Dr. Matthew Gerber, Department of History Dan Lucca To a Millennial Kingdom: The Nazi Aryanization of Christianity One of the most defining characteristics of the Nazi regime was a virulent antisemitism, which manifested itself in the ideology and actions of the Nazi leaders and party. For instance, in his work Mein Kampf (My Struggle), Hitler demonstrated virulent antisemitism by portraying the Jew as a parasitic being that corrupts others. As parasites, Hitler believed that Jews are “people without any true culture, especially their own.”1 This disdain for the Jews manifested itself in many hateful laws and acts. one of the most important being the strategy of Arisierung (Aryanization), which began in 1933. The process of Aryanization, according to Roderick Stackelberg and Sally A. Winkle, largely refers to the process of confiscating and selling off of Jewish property.2 However, Aryanization also encompassed the process of the removal everything that was Jewish or perceived to have Jewish influence from Germany. Besides the confiscation of Jewish property, the process of Aryanization included, but was not limited to: the destruction of Jewish books in book burnings, the exclusion of Jews from participating in national sports teams, and the the removal from Jews from the civil service and professions, the ban on Jews performing German music, and many other laws that seeped into every aspect of German society and culture during the Third Reich.

The Orthodox Betrayal: How German Christians Embraced and Taught Nazism and Sparked a Christian Battle. An Honors Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in History. By: William D. Wilson Under the mentorship of Brian K. Feltman Abstract During the years of the Nazi regime in Germany, the government introduced a doctrine known as Gleichschaltung (coordination). Gleichschaltung attempted to force the German people to conform to Nazi ideology. As a result of Gleichschaltung the Deutsche Christens (German Christians) diminished the importance of the Old Testament, rejected the biblical Jesus, and propagated proper Nazi gender roles. This thesis will argue that Deutsche Christen movement became the driving force of Nazi ideology within the Protestant Church and quickly dissented from orthodox Christian theology becoming heretical.
