Hitler's Table Talk

THE SICK COMMUNITIES OF EUROPE 117
From a social point of view, the sickest communities of the
New Europe are: first, Hungary, then Italy. In England, the
masses are unaware of the state of servitude in which they live.
But it's a class that ought to be ruled, for it's racially inferior.
And England couldn't live if its ruling class were to disappear.
Things would go utterly wrong for the common people. They
can't even feed themselves. Where would one try to find a
peasantry? In the working class?
The English are engaged in the most idiotic war they could
wage! If it turns out badly, anti-Semitism will break out
amongst them—at present it's dormant. It'll break out with
unimaginable violence.
The end of the war will see the final ruin of the Jew. The
Jew is the incarnation of egoism. And their egoism goes so far
that they're not even capable of risking their lives for the defence
of their most vital interests.
The Jew totally lacks any interest in things of the spirit. If
he has pretended in Germany to have a bent for literature and
the arts, that's only out of snobbery, or from a liking for speculation.
He has no feeling for art, and no sensibility. Except in
the regions where they live in groups, the Jews are said to have
reached a very high cultural level! Take Nuremberg, for
example: for four hundred years—that is to say, until 1838—
it hadn't a single Jew in its population. Result: a situation in
the first rank of German cultural life. Put the Jews all together:
by the end of three hundred years, they'll have devoured one
another. Where we have a philosopher, they have a Talmudistic
pettifogger. What for us is an attempt to get to the
bottom of things and express the inexpressible, becomes for the
Jew a pretext for verbal juggleries. His only talent is for
masticating ideas so as to disguise his thought. He has observed
that the Aryan is stupid to the point of accepting anything in
matters of religion, as soon as the idea of God is recognised.
With the Aryan, the belief in the Beyond often takes a quite
childish form ; but this belief does represent an effort towards a
deepening of things. The man who doesn't believe in the Beyond
has no understanding of religion. The great trick of
Jewry was to insinuate itself fraudulently amongst the religions
