90 years ago this man, Naz! Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels, successfully got the most educated and most advanced country in the world, Germany, to believe one simple thing: ALL of their troubles were because of the Jewish people. Like “free Palestine”, his campaign slogan was very simple: “Juden sind unser Unglück” or in English: “The Jews are our misfortune”.

The slogan appeared on every street corner bulletin on every radio broadcast, and every political speech And guess what? the most educated, advanced, science based society IN THE WORLD at the time, Germany, believed it. It led to the worst crime against humanity in history and the Holocaust. Many Germans didn’t believe what Goebbels said, or with what was done to the Jews, but they figured it didn’t impact them. I often wonder if on April 30th 1945 when Goebbels and his wife took the lives of their own 8 children and then of one another, with Germany laying in rubble, 50 million deaths later, and Stalin taking Berlin perhaps Goebbels had any regrets about the hate he spewed. I do know that the German people strongly regretted not speaking out against hate. A young generation of Americans, Canadians and Europeans now believe that a large amount of the world’s troubles are all because of one nation: Israel. Most adults are looking on in silence. The consequences for this blind hate have yet to be told, but if those adults know anything about history they should know that this hate never ends well for anyone. Speak out against antisemitism today.
