1941 Joseph Goebbels "10 Commandments" vs. Jews...
Item # 727757
·
NEW YORK POST, November 14, 1941
* Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels
* Speech with "10 Commandments" against Jews
* Important step in the Jewish Holocaust disaster
* Includes "Star of David" yellow badge rules
* The "Final Solution" is introduced
Page 2 has a one column heading: "Goebbel's Anti-Jewish Decalogue" This report contains the "Ten Commandments" against the Jews in Nazi Germany. (see images)
And the top of this page has a banner heading: "52,000 Jews Massacred in Kiev, and It's All Done in the Systematic, Efficient Nazi Way" with subhead.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because there was really no reason to save it at the time.
Complete with 30 pages, light toning at the margins, small binding holes and some wear along the spine, generally in very nice condition.
Background: The alignment of these two articles in a single American newspaper on November 14, 1941, captures a precise, chilling pivot point in human history: the exact moment the Nazi regime transitioned from localized persecution to the industrialized, continental mass murder known as the Final Solution. Goebbels’ "Anti-Jewish Decalogue" represented the ideological and social preparation of the German public, using the newly mandated yellow Star of David to legally and psychologically isolate Jewish people as subhuman targets. Simultaneously, the banner headline detailing the massacre of tens of thousands of Jews in Kiev—the horrific reality of the Babi Yar massacres—proved that this dehumanizing rhetoric was already being translated into systematic, assembly-line slaughter by mobile killing squads (Einsatzgruppen). Published nearly a month before the United States entered World War II and before the death camps like Auschwitz-Birkenau were fully operationalized, this newspaper stands as a devastating historical artifact; it shatters the post-war myth that the West "did not know" about the unfolding Holocaust, proving that the terrifying blueprint and execution of the genocide were already breaking into the American public consciousness in real-time.
