Hermann Ahlwardt: “The Semitic Versus the Teutonic Race”
Hermann Ahlwardt (1846-1914) – Anti semitic member of the Reichstag
This excerpt is a speech of his to the German chamber, trying to close Germany's borders to Jewish immigrants in 1895
Claims that they don't hate the Jews because of their religion, they the them because they are an entirely different race of people with entirely different character traits
The Jews constantly prove how they are an entirely different race of people, and it will nearly impossible to coexist with them
The Teutons are much more firmly rooted in a culture of labor than the Jews are
Putting the Jews on the same level as other people is a grave mistake
Apparently all great ideas come from the Germans and not from the Jews
German and Jewish art express completely different things
In the end, Ahlwardt didn't want all Jews killed. He just wanted “a clear and reasonable separation of jews from the Germans”
