Introductory Note

Theodore N. Kaufman, the author of
Germany Must Perish,
was a Manhattan-born Jewish businessman who wasalso chairman of a group that called itself the "American Federation for Peace." The first edition of this slim volumewas published in 1940 or early 1941. A second, 96-page edition, which sold for 25 cents, was published in 1941 byArgyle Press of Newark, New Jersey. Both editions were issued when the United States was still officially neutral,that is, before the Pearl Harbor attack of December 7, 1941, that brought the U.S. openly into World War II.Kaufman's fervent proposal for the systematic sterilization of the entire German population was given respectfulattention in the American press, including reviews in a number of newspapers. A review in the weekly
Time
magazine, March 24, 1941, called Kaufman's plan a "sensational idea."Germany's propaganda chief, Joseph Goebbels, seized with delight on the book. "This Jew [Kaufman] has done adisservice to the enemy," Goebbels privately commented. "If he had composed the book at my behest he couldn'thave done a better job."At his direction the German press played up Kaufman's call for genocide. A front page article about the book in theBerlin daily
Der Angriff,
July 23, 1941, appeared under headlines that called it a "Diabolical Plan for theExtermination of the German People" and a work of "Old Testament Hatred." Extracts also appeared, for example,in the nationally-circulated weekly paper
Das Reich,
August 3, 1941.A plan similar to Kaufman's was issued during the war years by a prominent American anthropologist. In an articleheadlined "Breed War Strain Out of Germans" in the New York daily newspaper
P.M.,
January 4, 1943, ErnestHooton laid out an "outbreeding" plan that would "destroy German nationalism and aggressive ideology whileretaining and perpetuating desirable German biological and sociological capacities." (See also: Benjamin Colby,‘Twas a Famous Victory, 1974, p. 131.)The Harvard University professor's proposal called for genetically transforming the German nation by encouragingmating of German women with non-German men, who would be brought into the country in large numbers, and of German men, forcibly held outside of Germany, with non-German women. Ten to twelve million German menwould be assigned to forced labor under Allied supervision in countries outside of Germany to rebuild their economies. "The objects of this measure," wrote Dr. Hooton, "include reduction of the birthrate of 'pure' Germans,neutralization of German aggressiveness by outbreeding and denationalization of indoctrinated individuals."This plan, Hooton estimated, would require at least 20 years to be implemented. "During this period," he went on,"encourage also the immigration and settlement in the German states of non-German nationals, especially males."In the decades since the end of World War II, something of the spirit of the genocidal Kaufman and Hooton plansseems manifest in Germany's population and immigration policies. Since the nation's defeat in 1945, the German birth rate has fallen to below the replacement level, millions of racially and culturally alien migrants have beenwelcomed as settlers in Germany, the number of children of mixed ethnicity has sharply increased, and the ethnic-cultural character of much of the country has been drastically altered, especially in the larger cities.This dynamic volume outlines a comprehensive plan for the extinction of the German nation and the totaleradication from the earth, of all her people. Also contained herein is a map illustrating the possible territorialdissection of Germany and the apportionment of her lands.To all those men and women who would rather die fighting for freedom, than remain alive as slaves;To all those men and women who, unafraid, speak out the truth as they conceive it to be the truth;
To all those men and women who, inspired by the efforts, hopes and aspirations of mankind place its needs beforetheir own;This book is humbly dedicated.
Special Note to Reader
Germany Must Perish presents a plan for the structure of a permanent and lasting peace among civilized nations. It bases its thesis on the eventual defeat of Germany by the British Empire and its Allies, without the assistance of theUnited States.However, should circumstances decree that the American public cast its ballot in favor of war as a measure of self-defense (and it is the fervent prayer of the author that this may never happen) it would become paramount that thelives of our native sons not be sacrificed in vain as were their fathers' lives a generation ago.If our soldiers must go forth to kill or die in battle, at least let them be given not alone a Slogan but a SolemnPurpose and a Sacred Promise.Let that Purpose be an Enduring Peace!And, this time, that Promise must be kept!
