I was searching Google under “racists 1933” and found an interview in the German newspaper Berliner Krautzeitung for that year. And who do you suppose was explaining Nazi attitudes towards Jews but a man by the name of Ashur Bet-Shlimon. A little more probing into things and I found that such a fellow migrated from Syria in 1929, settling in Munich and then Berlin where he worked as a scoutmaster for a Hitler Youth organization. I was struck by how consistent the Bet-Shlimon family has been....although there’s a good chance that wasn’t their real name, even back then. It seems the Bet-Shlimons have been “hiding out” ever since anyone can remember. Anyway I thought an excerpt might be useful.

This copy has been translated already, even down to the screwy way Grandpa Bet-Shlimon spoke German.

Krautzeitung: Herr Shlimon, can you tell us what your organization thinks of the Jews?

Shlimon: I be happy to you. Jews are dirty people. They have dirty religion and dirty childrens.

Kraut: Why do you say that?

Gramps: because it true.

Kraut: What evidence can you give for such statements?

Gramps: I already did. I SAID; they are dirty people with dirty religion and dirty childrens.

Kraut: Is this your opinion or is it based on facts?

Gramps: What’s the difference?

Kraut: Well, for an opinion you can say whatever you please. But if you are stating an objective truth, you need some facts.

Gramps: I gave you facts. Fact is my opinion is correct.

Kraut: Very good. What do you base this opinion on?

Gramps: On facts.

Kraut: I see. And just what are those facts?

Gramps: I told you three times already! They have dirty religion, they are dirty people and their children are dirty.

Kraut: But sir, this is your opinion.

Gramps: That’s what I keep telling you...the fact is that this is my opinion. That is a fact. Get it?

Kraut: Let us move on. What does your party plan to do about the Jews.

Gramps: Round them up and kill them all...after we work them and starve them. It is dangerous to let them live.

Kraut: Why is it dangerous?

Gramps: because they are dirty people with dirt....

Krauts: Yes, we heard you already. Thank you for your time.

Gramps: Is okay. Are you Jew? You got big nose.

Some things stay the same in certain families. Grandpa hated Jews....his grandson hates Muslims. Get rid of Jews and Muslims and this family still has plenty of hatred left over for Christians. It may be that hatred of others begins with self-hatred. That’s why there’s never an end to people for this family to hate...because their self-hatred never ends.
