'The Light' - two anti-Semitic magazines blaming the Jews for Germany's defeat in the First World War. Berlin, 1920
Das Licht die juden in den kriegsgesells chaften - 'The Light' - two issues of the German anti-Semitic newspaper 'The Light' accusing the Jews of creating the pretext for the First World War, and of getting rich at the expense of Germany's loss in the war, by Hanns Falk. Berlin, April 1920, and June 1920.
The result of the peace conferences in Paris in June 1919 at the end of the war, was the Treaty of Versailles - the official end of the war. Among its 440 sections, the contract demanded that Germany accept responsibility for starting the war and pay heavy reparations. As a result of the agreement, the Germans had to give up almost 13 percent of the territory of their empire to various countries. The feeling of frustration in Germany as a whole knew no bounds, and soon nests emerged looking for a victim to blame for their defeat and they found it - the Jews! According to the author, the Jews are the ones who created the reason for the outbreak of the war, and of being directly and indirectly responsible for the economic defeat of Germany by what he calls "war companies" that got rich as a result of it. At the beginning of the 1920s, many publications of this type were distributed in Germany and they were the background that prepared the ground for the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party that came to uplift the German people from humiliation by marking the Jewish people as Germany's number one enemy. Hitler himself used this claim of the international Jewish conspiracy in some of his famous venomous speeches.
