I have recently been reading the history of the interwar period in Germany and the rise of the Nazi Party.
From the year 1920 until roughly 1924 nearly all the growth of the original German Workers Party came from reaction to the loss of the War. Late in that period the organization changed its name to German Socialist Workers Party to distinguish itself from the many other socialist and communist political parties. It was anti-capitalist, anti-Jew and pro-Aryan.
After Hitler got out of prison in 1925 his organization began growing aggressively on college campuses. Hitler made it very clear that the enemy of the German state was an international Jewish conspiracy which had defeated Germany in the War. Hitler's Jew hate seemed to ring a particular bell among college and university students who had a tradition of being oriented toward anti-establishment ideas (as they still do in the U.S. and many countries).
Hitler made two points about the rising power and control of Germany by the Jews. First was that the Jews were alienated from the blood and soil of the Aryan race. They were focused on rational thought and greed not deep emotional ties. Secondly, Hitler argued the Jews formed an international conspiracy of non-German interests. These arguments rang a bell among college and university students.
When Hitler finally ascended to power in 1933 the University was the first place he banned Jews from teaching or holding office. There was absolutely no resistance at the university level because he had done the spadework over many earlier years in creating a loyal Nazi cadre of University Jew haters.
This history is alarming to me. For one reason. Jew hate on American campuses has been rising steadily at a shocking rate. I saw it first in the late 1990s at San Francisco State University where it was promoted by Muslim students. Their provocation was ignored by the faculty and administration. I visited the campus several times and saw the malevolent Jew hate with my own eyes.
Campus Jew hate is more virulent today.
In the most recent decades, colleges and universities have become homes for unbridled Jew hate in the United States. Jews on many campuses, including the Ivy League, describe an out of control academic Jew hatred. With no faculty or adminsitrative restraint.
Not all history is repeated. The source of movements that become historically powerful, do have among them a great deal of commonality. A strong Jew hate movement in the United States should be expected to start on campuses where Left-wing academics promote their global view of minority misery, environmental catastrophe, paranoia and capitalist oppression.
Parallels are not symmetry but Jew hate on American campuses is worrisome to me.
