Title: Preconditions: Anti-Semitism, Racism,


1
Preconditions Anti-Semitism, Racism, Common
Prejudices
In order for a house to burn down, three things
are required. The timber must be dry
and combustible, there needs to be a spark that
ignites it, and external conditions have to
be favorablenot too damp, perhaps some wind. 1
  1. Antisemitism
  2. Eugenics
  3. Imperialism Racism
  4. Common Prejudices ? Slavs, Gypsies, homosexuals,
    Jehovahs Witnesses, etc
  5. The Great War (1914-1918) ? total war

In what ways did the above act as preconditions
for the Holocaust?
Hitlers Nazi regime in Germany provided the
spark that set off the destruction we now call
the Holocaust, and World War II (1939-1945)
created a setting conducive to brutality.
However, without certain preconditions . . . mass
murder on such a scale would not have been
possible. People had to be prepared to accept
the identification of other members of their
society as enemies. 1

All nature is a gigantic struggle between
strength and weakness, an eternal victory of the
strong over the weak. Adolph Hitler
Christmas (1944)

Citizens! Do not believe that the Germany of
misfortune and misery, the nation of corruption
and usury, the land of Jewish corruption, can be
saved by parties that claim to stand on a
foundation of facts. Never!"

1920)

Who is Adolf Hitler? The man from the people, for
the people! The German front soldier who risked
his life in 48 battles for Germany! What does
Adolf Hitler want? Freedom and food for every
decent working German! The gallows for
profiteers, black marketeers and exploiters,
regardless of religious faith or race! Why is
Adolf Hitler not allowed to speak? Because he is
ruthless in uncovering the rulers of the German
economy, the international bank Jews and their
lackeys, the Democrats, Marxists, Jesuits, and
Free Masons! Because he wants to free the workers
from the domination of big money! Working
Germans! Demand the lifting of the illegal ban on
his speaking!
