Jewry," he cries. "Let me speak to you of my Fuhrer with love. He who answered our German need. He who res cued us from the depths . . . His power lay in the love he won from the people . . . Do I see you begin to raise your hands? Do I hear you stamp your feet. He gave us our history. He gave us our news. He gave us our art. He gave us our holidays, he gave us our leisure, and he gave our newly-married a copy of Mein Kampf. At the end we loved him . . . With the killers...
