“It is forbidden for our people to intermingle with Jewish blood” - instructional sheets for organizing evening activities in the Hitler Youth - Berlin – 12 February 1936 - Die Kameradschaft. Blätter für Heimabendgestaltung in der Hitlerjugend - “The Comradeship” - instructional sheets for organizing evening activities in the Hitler Youth - Berlin – 12 February 1936. Issue no. 3 - titled: “Heroes and Merchants” teaching the youth about the character of the “thieving Jewish merchant” and the content of the clauses of the Nuremberg Laws, which had been established shortly beforehand and deprived Jews of their German citizenship, and prohibited marriages and sexual relations between Jews and those of “German blood” (“Blutschande”). Extremely rare. The series Die Kameradschaft was distributed as instructional material for leaders and units of the Hitler Youth, in order to provide content for ideological evening activities known as Heimabende - educational and propaganda gatherings. This booklet provides the instructor with “rich” anti-Semitic material on the subject of the “thieving Jewish merchant, ” the Jewish character, and the racial laws that in practice mandate separation from the Jew. This was the educational material to which German youth were exposed in the 1930s as part of social activities within the Hitler Youth. The booklet’s cover is designed in an anti-Semitic style, depicting Jews with stereotypical facial features within a Star of David, and on the other side German Wehrmacht soldiers. The booklet opens with an anti-Semitic quotation from the words of Adolf Hitler under the heading: “The Leader says, ” describing the Jewish way of commerce and the manner of Jewish control over the economy (alongside an image of German Wehrmacht soldiers in a salute ceremony to Adolf Hitler): “With the emergence of the first permanent settlements, the Jew is suddenly ‘there.’ He arrives as a trader and at first attaches little importance to concealing his ethnic origin. He is still a Jew, perhaps also because the external racial difference between him and the host people is too great, his language skills are still too limited, and the isolation of the host people is too pronounced for him to dare appear as anything other than a foreign trader. Gradually, he begins to become involved in the economy, not as a producer (worker), but solely as an intermediary. A thousand years of his experience in trade make him far superior to the still clumsy Aryans, and especially to the unguarded Christians. He begins to lend money, as usual, at excessive interest. In fact, he introduces interest into the lending process itself. The danger inherent in this new practice is not recognized at first; on the contrary, it is even welcomed because of its immediate advantages. The Jew becomes completely settled, that is, he settles in specific quarters within cities and towns, and increasingly creates a state within a state. He regards commerce and all financial transactions as his exclusive right, which he exploits ruthlessly... The Jewish people is most sharply distinct from the German people. The German people possesses a heroic character. Each of us knows that people who care only for their own personal benefit tend toward deceit, betrayal, and treachery. Laden with these characteristics, the Jew has lived and sown destruction within the German people. Lacking any heroic spirit, the Jew knows only the pleasures of life. He despises work and regards it as a curse. The merchant character of the Jew is as ancient as the Jewish people itself... Our people must not enter into community with the Jew, for wherever Jewish blood mixes with German blood, a mongrel is created who is lost to our people because he has been defiled by Jewish blood. On September 15, 1935, the laws were published in Nuremberg that will protect the German people from the mixing of blood with Jews in the future.” Further on, under the heading: “Impure Merchants” quotations are presented from the Jewish press and from the words of various Jewish figures claiming that the Jewish mode of commerce operates through the exploitation of non-Jewish property, offered as supposed real evidence for Hitler’s statements cited above. This is followed by an article denouncing Jewish art and poetry, the story “The Death of Shmuel Freudenstein”, about a Jewish merchant punished for his deeds, a passage praising the German army: “Germany, Germany Above All, ” a quotation of clauses from the Nuremberg Laws concerning the “Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honor of September 15, 1935,” in which it is determined, among other things: “Marriages between Jews and German citizens of German or kindred blood are forbidden. Marriages are also invalid even if they were conducted abroad..., Jews are not permitted to employ in their households female citizens of German or kindred blood under the age of 45,
