Israel's Ritual Murder of Nations - Antisemitic Publication in Munich on the Eve of the outbreak of World War II
Israelis Ritualmord an den Völkern - Israel's Ritual Murder of nations, an anti-Semitic publication by the Jew-hating Bavarian German writer Wilhelm Matthiessen, published by Ludendorffs Verlag G.m.b.H. Munich, 1939 - First Edition. German.
Anti-Semitic publication on the eve of the outbreak of World War II claiming that the imperial ambitions of the Jews, which it calls "enemies of humanity", to take over the world politically and financially is enshrined in the Bible. By distorting many passages from the Bible, the author tries to make it seem as if God's decree instructs Jews to take over the world and the economy of nations. The author distorts many verses that deal with the wars of Israel at the time of the prophets and tries to present them as being directed as a decree for generations towards the peoples and countries in which the Jews reside. On the cover is an anti-Semitic illustration showing the Binding of Isaac
with a cruel and twisted interpretation.
In the 1920s, the author became known as an independent writer in Munich and was mainly involved in writing children's books. Over the years he became a radical anti-Semite and even an enemy of Christianity, and in 1937 he published "Israel's Secret Plan for the Destruction of Nations". After the war he lived in lower Bavaria and did not renounce his extremist views, although he stopped publishing anti-Semitic books and returned to children's literature. In the Soviet region, his books were announced on the "Prohibited Books' list".
On the title page is a handwritten note referring to the painting on the cover.
80 p. 21cm. Very Good Condition.
