Anti-Semitic Genealogy Poster |
The German scientific community got on the bandwagon with pseudo-scientific presentations. The theory was that Jewish features could be scientifically determined. Many Germans were measured to absolve themselves of the "taint" of Jewish genes. Store windows displayed a device that could be placed on a person’s head. Twirl the dials, and it was guaranteed to tell whether the person was an Aryan or a Jew. Apparently, Jewish heads are round and fat, and Aryan heads are narrow and thin. A person could buy it for a few marks.

Up to this time, especially in Germany, Jews had seemingly been making tremendous gains in liberty and rights.

Device For Measuring Jewish Traits |
Germany was on the cutting edge of everything at the turn of the century. Education, science, technology, you name it – Germany was there. And Jews were in the forefront.
From 1901 until 1933 there were 37 German Nobel Prize winners - 11 of them were Jewish. The first three atomic bombs were built by Jewish scientists. Two of them - Teller and Einstein - were people that Hitler threw out.
Germany never built the bomb, but during the war this was a big worry. They were years ahead of anyone else in research, and they had Heisenberg. It was said that if anyone could build an atomic bomb, Heisenberg was the man. After the war, it came out why the Nazis never built the bomb. Speer, the Nazi armaments minister, said that Hitler referred to atomic physics as "Jewish physics," "Jewish science." They never actually developed a nuclear program because they considered the field tainted by Jews.

Unlearning Antisemetism
My family came from Pommerania in the 1830s. They settled in Wisconsin, and kept the language and custome in their Homes. The common knowledge was that you had to 'be careful' around Jews, although no adult would tell a child exactly why. My parents moved to Skokie, IL, where my father worked. I was often on my own after school and on the weekends. After school I would bicycle downtown and see older men sitting outside Coffee Shops, drinking coffee and eating sweet baked goods. Being a child (and hungry) I would greet them in my best "German" as i thought that was what they were speaking. They would respond and then ignore me. I finally asked to bit with them, and ovet time they began to accept me. They would laugh at some of the things I said (probably from pronunciation) but, the Cubs were playing well, and discussions became liveley. My vocabulary grew, and then one Sunday I asked a question that silenced all of then - "Whydo you have a tattoo of numbers on your arm? My Uncle has the Marine Shield." 'Uncle Phillip' told me that the numbers came from a bad time, and I should ask my father.
Monday he accompinedme to the Coffeee SHop and was humble and apologetic for his 'foolish' son (I was offended by being sallce foolish.) The men went into a High German rapid discussion that I could not follow and then Dad said "I'll expalin the numbers tonight, at home."
Years later, this insight and an Uncle's story of liberating a Death camp, I had some respect for what happened. The entire experience enlightened me, and made more open to the desires of others and a willingness to permit, if not accept them.
Continue the story, tell the truth, and none may call you liar before the Lord.
