Officially there were 550 000 Jews in Germany at the time Hitler became
Chancellor of Germany. Until the out-break of WW II, 300 000 Jews were
able to leave Germany with immigration visas to other countries. When
hostilities started in September 1939, belligerent countries closed their
borders to Jews. Jews were now stuck in Germany due to the war they
declared on Germany. Thousands died in the relentless Allied bombing
raids on Germany, shortage of food, ensuing diseases, sabotage plots
and old age. The safest place for Jews from bombing and public outrage
(due to the bombing), was a concentration camp, up to the time of total
break-down of the infrastructure, when thousands of Germans and Jews
died in need of bare essentials. There were no gaschambers in Germany!
It is alleged that millions [?] have died in Auschwitz, a camp run by the
Soviets for more than ten years after the war.
It is important to read the full account in this book, to have a good understanding of the problems at that time.

CHAPTER II (p.20-31) The Jewish "Declaration of War" March 24, 1933
Hardly had President von Hindenburg appointed Adolf Hitler Chancellor of the German Reich, when loud lamentations, principally in Jewish circles, went up abroad. The first uproar of international scope arose on 24 March 1933 with the proclamation, in a huge headline on the front page of the London Daily Express: "Judea Declares War on Germany!" Here are some passages from the "declaration of war" that, as an appeal for a boycott, called for economic warfare against Germany.
» A strange and unforseen sequel has emerged from the stories of German Jew-baiting. The whole of Israel throughout the world is uniting in declaring an economic and financial war on German. Hitherto the cry has gone up: "Germany is persecuting the Jews." If the present plans are carried out, the Hitlerite cry will be: "The Jews are persecuting Germany."
All Israel is rising in wrath against the Nazi onslaught on the Jews. Adolf Hitler, swept into power by an appeal to elemental patriotism, is making history of a kind he least expected. Thinking to unite only the German nation to race consciousness, he has roused the whole Jewish people to a national renascence.
The appearance of the Swastika symbol of a new Germany has called forth the Lion of Judah, the old battle emblem of Jewish defiance. Four teen million Jews, dispersed throughout the world, have banded together as one man to declare war on the German persecutors of their co-religionists.. Sectional differences and antagonisms have been submerged in one common aim – to stand by the 600,000 Jews of Germany who are terrorized by Hitlerite anti-Semitism, and to compel Fascist Germany to end its campaign of violence and suppression against its Jewish minority.
Plans for action maturing in Europe and America. World Jewry has made up its mind not to rest quiescent in face of this revival of medieval Jew-baiting. Germany may be called on to pay a heavy price for Hitler’s antagonism to the Jews. She is faced with an international boycott, in commerce, finance, and industry. ( … )
Plans for concerted Jewish action are being matured in Europe and America to strike back in reprisal at Hitlerite Germany. ( … ) Resolutions are being taken throughout the Jewish business world to sever trade relations with Germany. ( … )
Germany is a heavy borrower in foreign money markets, where Jewish influence is considerable. ( … ) A move is on foot on the part of Jewish financiers to exert pressure to force anti-Jewish action to stop. ( … )
A concerted boycott by Jewish buyers is likely to involve great damage to the German export trade. Jewish merchants all over the world are large buyers of German manufactured goods, ( … ) In Poland, the trade embargo of Germany is already in operation. ( … )
{021}Representative Jewish organizations in the European capitals are understood to be making representations to their various Governments to use influence with the Hitler cabinet to induce it to call a halt in the oppression of the German Jews. The old and reunited people of Israel are rising with new and modern weapons to fight their age-old battle with their persecutors.«
This Jewish "declaration of war" needs precise analysis. As far as I know, that has not yet been undertaken by anyone. Its text is simply repeated, verbatim; there is no interpretation or commentary.
I shall present a few sentences from this declaration that provide a key to an understanding of what took place thereafter – and, essentially, is going on still.
»The whole of Israel throughout the world is uniting to declare an economic and financial war on Germany … Fourteen million Jews have banded together as one man … Sectional differences and antagonisms have been submerged in one common aim …«
It is a characteristic of the Jewish people that has provoked much comment, in Israel and elsewhere, that, faced by a common threat, they really do come together and rise as one man, overcoming all internal differences, and presenting a united front to the outside. Before the State of Israel was founded, it was the ghetto-enclosure, sealed against the exterior world, that represented this unity. Hardly ever did a non-Jew have an insight into what went on behind the ghetto walls. The Jews themselves saw to it that there was no contact with the world outside. The Christian world beyond was "the enemy," a hostile environment. Just to have contact – not to mention, integrate – with it was a damnable crime for any Jew. Not only marriage to a non-Jew was – and still is! – forbidden (and, to a pious Jew, unthinkable, as well), merely living among Christians, or in secular surroundings, even study at a "worldly" university, meets with deepest suspicion in devout Jewish circles, and is often regarded as a first sign of defection from Jewry. Those values hold good today.
I knew a rabbi, in a large German city, an extraordinarily charming person, who told me much about the difficulties made for him by his rabbinical colleagues because he had studied the humanities, and even lectured, at a "Christian" university, one of the most famous in Germany. Despite his completion of Talmudic studies in Jewish colleges in Israel, where he had sought to gain a foothold after the war, he was refused recognition as a rabbi – and that only because of his incidental engagement with "worldly" universities. He then returned to Germany, where he had an inordinately troublesome time with his congregation, which consisted mainly of Polish Jews, who set their own norms.
A rabbi who acknowledged the existence of the Christian world, and even had contact, however sparse, with Christian theologians, could not be a real rabbi! This cohesion against the outside misleads many, who do not know the essence of Jewishness, or of the Jew, to the assumption that it is a matter of inner unity, in brief – to use the popular expression – "A Jew is a Jew!" The generalizing Jewish legisla-{022}tion of the Third Reich was based on this misconception; it was the root cause of the countless tragedies that were acted out in the Jewish communities.
There is a saying in Israel that when three Jews come together, there are four different opinions. A vocal example thereof is the number of political parties admitted to the Israeli parliament.
In 1948, when the state was founded, Israel had 656,000 inhabitants, according to official documentation. These 656,000 people separated themselves into ten political parties. In the course of years, the groupings split, joined with others, separated again, came together once more, and so on, so that, twenty years later, without political directions having changed in the slightest, there were eighteen political parties in Israel.
The Israelis are proud of being "individuals," as they put it, and about having their own opinions about anything and everything. I have experienced that personally in discussions too numerous to be counted; discussions that degenerated into scuffles and brawls, and in one case provoked a murder that for Europeans would have been unthinkable. But then again, there is an astonishing unity when it comes to standing up to an enemy, real or imagined. In time of war, itis true that "A Jew is a Jew," or that "all Jews are alike"; there is infrangible compactness in the face of the foe. The opponent, in his policy and in his conduct, does well to assume that he is confronted by all Jewry as though it were a single body.
