"The Jew always lives from the blood of other peoples, he needs such murders and such sacrifices"
About this Quote
The reference to “murders” and “sacrifices” deliberately splices together two classic antisemitic tropes: the blood libel (the medieval accusation that Jews kill Christians for ritual purposes) and the conspiracy fantasy that Jews orchestrate violence to feed their own survival. By naming the alleged crime in lurid, sacramental terms, Streicher isn’t trying to convince skeptics; he’s trying to sanctify violence for believers. The sentence implies an inverted moral universe where persecution becomes prevention and extermination can be imagined as rescue.
Context matters: Streicher, as the Nazi propagandist behind Der Sturmer, specialized in pornographic, repetitive demonization designed for mass consumption, not elite debate. This is how genocide gets socially rehearsed: through simple, sticky imagery that converts neighbors into contaminants. The intent is incitement with plausible deniability - a “description” that quietly demands a “solution.”
