The Jews: As a Race and Cultural Nation - An early essay against racism. Berlin, 1921
Die Juden: Als Rasse Und Kulturvolk - The Jews: As a Race and Cultural Nation, by Fritz Kahn, published by WELT-VERLAG, Berlin 1921. An early essay against the theory of the superiority of the Aryan race, that published within Germany. An in-depth analysis of the roots of the German nation versus the roots of the Jewish nation while contradicting the lies that appeared in the books of the German thinkers in the 19th century.
The author attack and proves to contradict the racist theories that were prevalent in his time in Germany about the superiority of the Aryan race, and the inferiority of other races, proves that German theorists deliberately blur the definition between "race" and "culture", Claims that the origins of the Slavic peoples is in the ancient barbarians and not in any "upper race", and that they are in fact a Mixing of several mixed nations whose root is certainly not only, and that the cultural achievements of the German nation are an imitation of the peoples around them and not a self-product (The author cites many examples, such as the high arches in construction that are an imitation of Greek structures, etc., and also quotes from the great philosophers who argued that contemporary German culture is a poor imitation of Greek, French, and Italian culture). Furthermore the author expands to prove that the attempt to present the Aryan body structure as superior to other races and having identical characteristics is in fact a poor imitation of ancient Greek theories which argued so towards the Greek nation, and that the opposite is true, the structure of the skull typical of Aryan peoples is more reminiscent of the creature Neanderthal assumptions. In contrast, the author states, the Jews distinctly distinguished as a distinct and distinct ancient race and not mixing of races, brought into the world compassion, the great idea of a prophecy for peace among all peoples, of social justice, And values of truth and morality such as: "Do not do to your friends what is hated of you" contrary to what is claimed in the books of German antisemitic thinkers who distort the Jew as a thief and a scoundrel. The Bible and the ideas embodied in it penetrated the culture of all nations and all strata, rich and poor alike, learned and ignorant, and affect the nations of the world in daily life more than any other book ever written. And adds many detailed claims that reveal the many lies written about the Jewish people in the books of the German thinkers. The first edition of the book came out about a year earlier in 1920.
