HITLER ANNOUNCES HIS THREAT TO
THE JEWISH COMMUNITY.
"In the course of my life I have very often been a prophet, and
have usually been ridiculed for it. During the time of my struggle
for power it was in the first instance only the Jewish race that
received my prophecies with laughter when I said that I would
one day take over the leadership of the State, and with it that of
the whole nation, and that I would then among other things settle
the Jewish problem. Their laughter was uproarious, but I think
that for some time now they have been laughing on the other side
of their face. Today I will once more be a prophet: if the
international Jewish financiers in and outside Europe should
succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war, then
the result will not be the Bolshevizing of the earth, and thus the
victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in
Europe!" Adolf Hitler - January 30, 1939
