Hermann Ahlwardt, an anti-Semitic member of Reichstag, addressed the chamber in 1895 advocating the closing of many German borders to Jewish immigrants. His speech entailed many of the conservative, German viewpoints at the time (before WWI). Here are some points in the speech:
· Jews as a whole must be considered harmful because they are of a different race than Germans
· They have entirely different traits
· The Jews do not believe in the culture of labor nor do they create values themselves
· However, they want to appropriate, without working, what others have created
· Wherever there are opportunities to make money, Jews are there – but not to work - rather make others work for them and take what these people have produced by their own labor
· Other immigrants gradually with time become German and prideful of Germany…Jews have been cheating since they originally came 700-800 years ago
· Jews are causing the death and pauperization of many hard-working Germans
· They are also causing them (Germans) to immigrate to the USA
· The German is fundamentally trusting, but a Jew feigns this trust in order to earn it from Germans and cheat the trustworthy Germans
· Wants a clean and reasonable separation of Jews and Germans by banning immigration of Jews in Germany
