Note: Similar sanctions and boycotts were later applied to Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) and South Africa, to<br />

enforce the transfer <strong>of</strong> power from white to colored rule.<br />

THE EFFECT ON THE GERMAN ECONOMY<br />

Between January and April 1933 Germany's exports dropped by 10%. As the boycott organized by<br />

world Jewry spread, German trade was hit particularly hard and during the first quarter <strong>of</strong> 1933,<br />

Germany's vital exports were less than half its 1932 trade.<br />

"When the Reich could no longer pay its obligations, Germany would go bankrupt."<br />

- Edwin Black, Jewish writer/author, <strong>The</strong> Transfer Agreement, (p.185)<br />

"... if exports fell too low, Germany as a nation would again be faced with starvation."<br />

- Edwin Black, Jewish writer/author, <strong>The</strong> Transfer Agreement<br />

"How many months could Germany survive once the boycott became global, one commerce was rerouted<br />

around Germany? <strong>The</strong> boycotters adopted a slogan, 'Germany will crack this winter.'<br />

- Edwin Black, Jewish writer/author, <strong>The</strong> Transfer Agreement, (p.188)<br />

<strong>The</strong>se declarations <strong>of</strong> war against what was undeniably a friendly state and a democratically elected<br />

government, caused the German people to react by calling for a one day boycott (April 1st 1933) <strong>of</strong><br />

Jewish businesses and goods.<br />

<strong>The</strong> power <strong>of</strong> the media to distort events is there for all to see, in every bookshop throughout the land,<br />

sixty-years on. We are all familiar with the repetitive stories and pictures <strong>of</strong> this German boycott <strong>of</strong><br />

Jewish goods; but the reasons for it are never mentioned, nor is the fact that it was a mere one day<br />

event.<br />

"<strong>The</strong> Jews, taken collectively, view this war as a holy war.' - <strong>The</strong> Daily Herald, No.7450, 1939<br />

"Even if we Jews are not physically at your side in the trenches, we are morally with you. This war is<br />

our war and you fight it with us." - Schalom Asch, Les Nouvelles Litterairres, February 10 th 1940<br />

<strong>The</strong> joke doing the rounds <strong>of</strong> the British Union <strong>of</strong> Fascists at this time was that the Jewish national<br />

anthem was, 'Onward Christian Soldiers.'<br />

"This war is our business.' - Rabbi Dr. Stephen Wise, Defence in America, June 1940<br />

"A few days after the British Declaration <strong>of</strong> War, Weizmann <strong>of</strong>fered the British Government 2,000<br />

men for use in the near East, altogether, an army <strong>of</strong> 100,000 Jewish fighters against Germany."<br />

- Dr. Scheidl, Geschicte der Verfemung Deutschlands<br />

"Jewish brothers <strong>of</strong> the whole world: Let the holy flame <strong>of</strong> vengeance burn more and more brightly in<br />

your hearts with every hour! Be ready to act at any minute! You must do everything in your power<br />

to destroy the economic resources <strong>of</strong> the fascists, no matter in what part <strong>of</strong> the world you live. Go<br />

among the most vital sections <strong>of</strong> the death-bringing industries <strong>of</strong> the Hitlerian hangmen and cripple<br />
