Imagine handing out copies of the childrens book “The Poisonous Mushroom” by Ernst Hiemer 1938
Example: Part 1 A mother and her young boy are gathering mushrooms in the forest. The boy finds some poisonous ones. The mother explains that there are good mushrooms and poisonous ones, and, as they go home, says: "Look, Muhammad, human beings in this world are like the mushrooms in the forest. There are good mushrooms and there are good people. There are poisonous, bad mushrooms and there are bad people. And we have to be on our guard against bad people just as we have to be on guard against poisonous mushrooms. Do you understand that?" "Yes, mother." Muhammad replies. "I understand that in dealing with bad people trouble may arise, just as when one eats a poisonous mushroom. One may even die!" "And do you know, too, who these bad men are, these poisonous mushrooms of mankind?" the mother continued. Muhammad slaps his chest in pride: "Of course I know, mother! They are the Jews! Our teacher has often told us about them. The mother praises her boy for his intelligence, and goes on to explain the different kinds of "poisonous" Jews: the Jewish pedlar, the Jewish cattle-dealer, the Kosher butcher, the Jewish doctor, the baptised Jew, and so on."However they disguise themselves, or however friendly they try to be, affirming a thousand times their good intentions to us, one must not believe them. Jews they are and Jews they remain. For mankind they are poison. "Like the poisonous mushroom!" says Muhammad. "Yes, my child! Just as a single poisonous mushrooms can kill a whole family, so a solitary Jew can destroy a whole village, a whole city, even all of mankind" Muhammad has understood. "Tell me, mother, do all non-Jews know that the Jew is as dangerous as a poisonous mushroom? "Mother shakes her head. "Unfortunately not, my child. There are millions of non-Jews who do not yet know the Jews. So we have to enlighten people and warn them against the Jews. Our young people, too, must be warned. Our boys and girls must learn to know the Jew. They must learn that the Jew is the most dangerous poison-mushroom in existence. Just as poisonous mushrooms spring up everywhere, so the Jew is found in every country in the world. Just as poisonous mushrooms often lead to the most dreadful calamity, so the Jew is the cause of misery and distress, illness and death." All youth must learn to recognise the Jewish poison-mushroom. They must learn what a danger the Jew is for mankind and for the whole world. They must learn that the Jewish problem involves the destiny of us all "The following tales tell the truth about the Jewish poison-mushroom. They show the many shapes the Jew assumes. They show the depravity and baseness of the Jews. They show the Jew for what he really is: The Devil in human form.
Part 2 Things are lively in Mr.Brown’s 7th grade boys' class today. The teacher is talking about the Jews. Mr. Brown has drawn pictures of Jews on the blackboard. The boys are fascinated. Even the laziest of them, "Adil the Snorer," is paying attention, not sleeping, as he so often does during other subjects. Mr. Brown is a good teacher. All the children like him. They are happiest when he talks about the Jews. Mr. Brown can do that well. He learned about the Jews from life. He knows how to put it in gripping terms such that the favorite hour of the day is the "Jewish hour." Mr. Brown looks at the clock. "It is noon," he says. "We should summarize what we have learned in the past hour. What have we talked about?' All the children raise their hands. The teacher calls on Carlos, a small lad in the front row. "We have talked about how to recognize the Jews. "Good. Say more!" Little Carlos reaches for the pointer, steps up to the board and points at the drawings. "One can most easily tell a Jew by his nose. The Jewish nose is bent at its point. It looks like the number six. We call it the Jewish six. Many non-Jews also have bent noses. But their noses bend upwards, not downwards. Such a nose is a hook nose or an eagle nose. It is not at all like a Jewish nose. "Right!" says the teacher. "But the nose is not the only way to recognize a Jew... The boy goes on. "One can also recognize a Jew by his lips. His lips are usually puffy. The lower lip often protrudes. The eyes are different too. The eyelids are mostly thicker and more fleshy than ours. The Jewish look is wary and piercing. One can tell from his eyes that he is a deceitful person. The teacher calls on another lad. He is Devon Miller, and is the best in the class. He goes to the board and says: "Jews are usually small to mid-sized. They have short legs. Their arms are often very short too. Many Jews are bow-legged and flat-footed. They often have a low, slanting forehead, a receding forehead. Many criminals have such a receding forehead. The Jews are criminals too. Their hair is usually dark and often curly. Their ears are very large, and they look like the handles of a coffee cup." The teacher turns to the students. "Pay attention, children. Why does Devon always say 'many Jews have bow legs', Or "they often have receding foreheads,' or "their hair is usually dark??' Kobe Smith, a large, strong boy in the last row speaks. "Every Jew does not have these characteristics. Some do not have a proper Jewish nose, but real Jewish ears. Some do not have flat feet, but real Jewish eyes. Some Jews cannot be recognized at first glance. There are even some Jews with blond hair. If we want to be sure to recognize Jews, we must look carefully. But when one looks carefully, one can always tell it is a Jew. "Very good," the teacher says. "And now tell me about other ways to tell Jews from non-Jews. Kobe, come up here!' Kobe Smith, a smiling boy, goes to the board. He says: "One can recognize a Jew from his movements and behavior. The Jew moves his head back and forth. His gait is shuffling and unsteady. The Jew moves his hands when he talks. He "jabbers." His voice is often odd. He talks through his nose. Jews often have an unpleasant sweetish odor. If you have a good nose, you can smell the Jews. The teacher is satisfied. "That how it is, kids. You have paid attention! If you pay attention outside school and keep your eyes open, you won't be fooled by the Jews. The teacher goes to the lectern and turns the board. On the other side a poem is written. The children read it out loud: "From the face of the Jew, The wicked Devil speaks to you, The Devil who, in every land, As an evil plague is brand. Would we from the Jew be free, Again be cheerful and happy, Then with youth must us seek, To be free from the Jewish devilish grip."
Part 3 The scene of the next story is a small town. School-children stop in the street to observe and comment on three "Eastern Jews." "Look at those creatures! cries Muhammad "Those sinister Jewish noses! Those lousy beards! Those dirty, standing-out ears! Those bent legs! Those flat feet! Those stained, fatty clothes! Look how they move their hands about! How they haggle! And those are supposed to be men!" "And what sort of men?" replies Carlos. "They are criminals of the worst sort."He describes their trafficking in wares and how, when they have money enough they "Get rid of their dirty clothes, cut their beards off, de-louse themselves, put on up-to-date clothes and go about as if they were not Jews. In every country they speak the local language and behave as though they were locals. In France they speak French and act as Frenchmen. In Russia they want to be Russians; in China, Chinese; in America, Americans; and so on. So they carry on throughout the whole world." Muhammad laughs at this and says anyhow they can always be recognized as Jews. Carlos nods: "Naturally, one can tell them if one uses one's eyes. But unfortunately, there are still many who fall for the Jewish swindle." "Not me! I know the Jews! I know, too, a verse about them: "Once they came from the East, Dirty, lousy, and ready to fleece; And in a few years Then were aff enriched. Today they Dress very fancy; And no longer want as Jews to be seen So keep your eyes open and note it good: Once a Jew, always a Jew!"
Part 4 Barry is thirteen years old. He is the son of the livestock-Jew from Greenberg. There is no Jewish school there. Barry therefore has to go to the public school. His schoolmates don't like him. Barry is loud and narcissistic. There are always fights. And Barry is always responsible for them. Today Barry doesn't have to go to school. He has to visit a rabbi in the city. A rabbi is a Jewish preacher. And this Jewish preacher wants to see if Barry has diligently studied the teachings of the Jewish religion. Barry has gone to the synagogue. A synagogue is the church of the Jews. The rabbi is waiting for him. He is an old Jew with a long beard and a genuine devil's face. Barry bows. The rabbi leads him to a reading table where there is a large, thick book. It is the Talmud. The Talmud is the secret law book of the Jews. The rabbi begins the examination: "Barry, you have a non-Jewish teacher in school. And every day you hear what the Gentiles say, what they believe, and the laws by which they live Barry interrupts the rabbi: "Yes, rabbi, I hear that every day. But that doesn't concern me. I am a Jew. I have laws to follow that are entirely different from those of the non-Jews. Our laws are written down in the Talmud."The rabbi nods: "Right! And now I want to hear what you know about them. Give me a few sayings or proverbs that you have heard in the Gentile school!'Barry thinks. Then he says: "A proverb of the Gentiles is: 'Work is no disgrace.' What do the Gentiles mean by that?' "They mean to say that it is no disgrace when one has to work. "Do we Jews believe that?' "No, we don't believe that! In our law book the Talmud it is written: Work is for our slaves the gentiles and not to be done. Therefore we Jews don't work, but mostly engage in commerce. Gentiles are created to work. In the Talmud it also says: The rabbi teaches: There is no lower occupation than farming. A Jew should neither plow the field nor plant grain. Commerce is easier than tilling the soil." The rabbi laughs: "You've learned very well. But I know another Talmud passage that you must learn." He opens the Talmud. Solly must read: The Gentiles are created to serve the Jews. They must plow, sow, weed, dig, reap, bundle, soft, and grind. The Jews are created to find everything ready. The rabbi continues his examination: "Tell me several more principles or proverbs of the Gentiles!" Barry answers: "The Gentiles say: 'Be ever loyal and honest. Honor is the surest defense.' What do the Gentiles mean by that?" "They mean that one should always be honest in life. One should not lie and cheat. That's what the Gentiles say. "And what do we Jews do? "We may lie and cheat Gentiles. In the Talmud it says: It is permitted for Jews to cheat Gentiles. All lies are good. And furthermore it is written: It is forbidden for a Jew to cheat his brother. To cheat a Gentile is permitted. When we loan the Gentiles money, we must demand usurious interest. For in the Talmud it is written. Concerning robbery it is taught: Gentiles may not rob each other. The Gentile may not rob the Jews. But the Jews may at any time rob the Gentiles. It further says: If a Jew has stolen something from a Gentile and the Gentile discovers it and demands it back, the Jew should simply deny it all. The Jewish court will stand by the Jew. It is also permitted for us Jews to buy stolen goods from a thief, when they come from Gentiles. We Jews may also be fences without sinning before our God. Smuggling and tax evasion are also permitted for us Jews. In the Talmud it is written that we may cheat Gentile authorities of customs and taxes. It says: Smuggling is permitted, for it is written: You need not pay what you owe. Also thievery is permitted for Jews. But we may steal only from the Gentiles. The Talmud says: "The words 'Thou shalt not steal' in the text refer only to thievery from Jews. Stealing from Gentiles is not meant." What does that mean?" the rabbi asked. "That means that we cannot steal from or cheat Jews. But we can cheat Gentiles at any time. That is permitted for us." The rabbi is satisfied: "Excellent! In conclusion, give me several more laws from the Talmud." Barry is delighted with the rabbi's praise. Barry says: "In the Talmud it is written: Only the Jew is human. The Gentile peoples are not called people, rather they are named animals. And because we see Gentiles as animals, we call them goy, it is also permitted for us at any time to perjure ourselves before a Gentile court. In the Talmud it is written: The Jew is permitted to swear falsely before a Gentile court. Such an oath is always to be seen as compelled. Even when a Jew swears by the name of God, he is allowed to tell a lie, and in his heart to reject the oath he has made. Furthermore, in the Book of Sirach it says: "Terrify all the nations, O Judah! Lift up your hands against the Gentiles! Incite the wrath of the Gentiles against each other and pour out anger! Shatter the princes who are enemies to the Jews. "Enough!" interrupts the rabbi. He comes up to Barry and shakes his hand. Then he says: "You are a fine Talmud student. You will become a real Jew. Always think about what the Talmud demands of you. The teachings and laws of the Talmud are far more important and more to be obeyed than the laws of the Old Testament. The teachings of the Talmud are the words of the living Jewish god. He who breaks the laws of the Talmud deserves death. You should think about that throughout your whole life. If you always follow the Talmud laws diligently, you will join our biblical fathers in the Jewish heaven. Amen!" Murder, lies, and thievery, Robbery, cheating, and perjury These are for the Jews all permitted, As every Jewish child is well-witted. In the Talmud it is written, What Jews love and what they bitter, What Jews think and how they behave All by the Talmud is ordained.
