Jeremy Maddux’s Reviews > Julius Streicher: Nazi Editor of the Notorious Anti-Semitic Newspaper Der Stürmer > Status Update

'At various times in American history large numbers of people believed in conspiracies of Masons, Catholics, water fluoridators, Communists, anarchists, socialists, new and old rights and lefts; the list could go on.'

And they believed those things with good reason. His tone is condescending here.

'Repeatedly Marx or the court were forced to silence him. The defense made two principle arguments. First, Marx argued that before 1933 Streicher was a local figure of limited national significance, and after 1933 only one of many Nazi Jew-baiters.'

It figures the man sentencing him would be named Marx.

'The crime of Streicher is that he made these crimes possible, which they never would have been had it not been for him and for those like him. Without his propaganda, the Kaltenbrunners, the Himmlers, the Stroops would have had nobody to do their orders.'

Sorry, Mr. Bytwerk. That doesn't compute. Not when people who carried out extermination were in some cases allowed to return to normal lives

'Although Streicher’s collection of riding whips had been looted by GI’s looking for mementos, much of his collection of allegedly Jewish pornography remained, enough “to make a shady bookseller’s fortune.”'
