Hitler—Germany's New Christ
According to a New York Times cor-
respondent, "Julius Streicher, Nazi chief-
tain in Nuremberg and self-styled 'Leader
of the Franks,' delivered a violent diatribe
at a mass meeting" in Cologne. Streicher
was attacking those who assert that Christ
was a Jew and then shouted:
If I should ever stamp Christ as a Jew
I would stamp him as a criminal. Christ was
just as little Jewish as Hitler.
And just as Christ was once mocked and
disparaged, so certain haughty gentlemen used
to mock and disparage our Fuehrer, Adolf
Hitler, as a house painter and laborer. Just
as 2,000 years ago Christ began to speak in
a small circle to poor, simple people while the
rich and noble stayed away, so the same thing
has repeated itself in our time.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This article, presenting the standpoint of one individual, is published
because it presents a point of view which is of unusual significance at this juncture. Mr.
Montor's stand has the support of many leaders in this country and is as fervently opposed
by other outstanding personalities.. Joseph Brainin, who disagrees with many of the argu-
ments advanced by Henry Montor, will answer this article in our next issue. Leaders are
invited to express their reaction to this interesting debate.
