This conception was expounded by pan-German ideologues in turn-of-the-century Vienna, where Hitler, by his own account, first became politically educated. <58> They were obsessed by envy of the Jews, of their cohesion and their claim to chosenness. The explanatory power of anti-Semitism was expanded by the diffusion of the fraudulent `Protocols of the Elders of Zion,' published by the Czar's secret police and spread by anit-Bolshevik emigres to reactionary circles in Germany after World War I. The `Protocols' depicted a worldwide conspiracy, holding Jews responsible for Bolshevism. <59> The metahistory of the `Volk' differed from the actual history of the Germans, for whose misfortunes actual Germans were not responsible. They had been betrayed, stabbed in the back, by the enemy within - the Jew. The `Volk' demanded not only equality with other nations -- the right to defend their frontiers without restriction -- but additional room to expand -- `Lebenstraum.' Other nationals of German blood (`Volksdeutsche') who could be reclaimed resided from the Rhine to the Vistula. The nations that they inhabited would become incorporated into the Reich or colonized by it during the next decade. Natives of colonized nations belonging to the inferior Slavic race would be stripped of rights, reduced to subliteracy, exploited ruthlessly, and frequently subjected to collective violence. <60>" <58> Hitler, Adolf.

"Warrant for Genocide: The Myth of the Jewish World- Conspiracy and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion," (New York: Harper Torchbooks, Harper and Row, 1969). <60> See Alexander Dallin, "German Rule in Russia, 1941-1945: A Study of Occupation Policies," (New York: Macmillan, 1957), for how these theories were acted out. [It is worth noting here that the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" is still being published today, by a publishing firm closely tied to the IHR, the source of much of the tripe being promulgated by Dan Gannon's hate machine. Coincidence? You tell me.] Excerpted from------------------------------------------------------- "Accounting for Genocide: Victims - and Survivors - of the Holocaust" (New York: Free Press, 1979) --------------------------------------------------------------------- For an extensive bibliography dealing with the Holocaust, and containing over 1100 citations, contact kmcvay@oneb.almanac.bc.ca - it will be sent to you by return email.
