- The relation of the Jews to prostitution and,
even more, to the white-slave traffic, could be
studied in ViennaWhen thus for the first time I
recognized the Jew as the cold-hearted,
shameless, and calculating director of this
revolting vice traffic in the scum of the big
city, a cold shudder ran down my back. (p. 59) - Hence today I believe that I am acting in
accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator
by defending myself against the Jew, I am
fighting for the work of the Lord. (p. 65)

- On this first and greatest lie, that the Jews

Night of the Long KnivesJune 30-July 2, 1934
14"If anyone reproaches me and asks why I did not
resort to the regular courts of justice, then all
I can say is this In this hour I was responsible
for the fate of the German people, and thereby I
became the supreme judge of the German people."
"It was no secret that this time the revolution
would have to be bloody when we spoke of it we
called it 'The Night of the Long Knives.'
Everyone must know for all future time that if he
raises his hand to strike the State, then certain
death is his lot."

in a ward in an unidentified asylum. The
