"The vineyards
of Israel have
ceased to exist,
but the eternal
law enjoins the
children of
Israel still to
celebrate the
vintage. A race
that persist in
celebrating
their vintage,
although they
have no fruits
to gather, will
regain their
vineyards. What
sublime
inexorability in
the law! But
what indomitable
spirit in the
people!"
"Because of the hatred that surrounds him on all sides, the German Jew is determined to cast off all signs of his Jewishness and to deny his race. No reform of the Jewish religion, however extreme, is radical enough for the educated German Jews...
Reform, conversion, education, and emancipation-none of these e open the gates of society to the German Jew; hence his desire to deny his racial origin.

"The integrity of the Jews as a race depends upon the existence and survival of Judaism as a religion. When a Gentile becomes a Jew by religion, he becomes ipso facto a Jew by race; but when a Jew joins a Gentile religion he remains a Jew by race."

"Strange to say,
anti-Semitism is

"We want assimilation to

"There will be
anti-Semitism in the
sense of a
psychological
phenomenon as long
as Jews come into
contact with
non-Jews — what does
it matter? Perhaps
we owe it to
anti-Semitism that
we can maintain
ourselves as a

"The Jews are divided into two categories, those who admit they belong to a race distinguished by a history thousands of years old, and those who don’t. The latter are open to the charge of dishonesty."
"God had separated Abraham from
Chaldeans and his [Abraham's]
descendants, giving Isaac a purpose,
and God gave him the law. That is
why Jews must preserve their race,
like the gypsy who does not mix his
race. We must not allow the race to
be spoiled, and that is the reason
why I will not allow my children to
marry non-Jews. Our race is already
too mixed."
"If Israel had not come into existence after World War II then I am certain the Jewish race wouldn’t have survived… I stand before you and say you must strengthen your commitment to Israel."
"... consider doing what more than one member of our redaktzia [editorial board] has done: checking the box ‘some other race’ and writing in the word ‘Jew’.”
Günther Deckert, a german teacher, was charged to prison for calling jews a race.
