Nazi Attitude Towards Natives Claim That Miscegenation Means Racial Collapse

HERE is the racial philosophy of Nazi Germany. It is v, literal translation of extracts from a pamphlet by Dr. Gun ther Hecht:— There can be no doubt whatsoever that certain European people are born rulers.

They have the right, as well as the duty, to make use of their genetic superiority; and if. for the sake of humanitarian, pacifist and religious ideologies, they neglect their obligations, they are bound to perish.

One of the most important ways in which European nations must preserve their superiority and position as rulers is the avoidance of miscegenation. Racial mixing is clearly detrimental to either of the two partners, because the offspring show a tendency toward anti-social be haviour, and a lack of moral principles.

Unfortunately, the chief colonial pow ers of to-day have not always borne these facts to mind. The English, indeed, have attempted to maintain an attitude of “splendid isolation” toward the inferior races; but the French, steeped in the humanitarian liberalism of the 18th cen tury, have committed the sin of miscege nation.

Even the British, however, owing to the corrosive influence of the Jews, now show a weakening of their racial conscience toward miscegenation and racial mixing.

Nevertheless, once the Englishman be comes fully aware of the danger, he strikes, and strikes hard. Thus, in South Africa, a law has been passed prohibiting “relations” between black and white, and the prohibition of marriage itself is now under discussion. The Union of South Africa is to-day clearly evolving a native policy which is based upon the full re cognition of the natural differences be tween black and white, and the superior ity of the position of the latter. In the schools, the universities and the hospitals, there is now complete segregation.

The principles which must guide a National Socialist native policy are threefold. Firstly, it is imperative to recognise and stress the fact that our modern civilisation is almost exclusively the creation of Nordic genius, and of nobody else. From this it follows that the native must be kept in his own home and sphere. Under no circumstances must he be brought to Europe, be it as servant, labourer, or student. “The age old frontier between Europe and Africa lies in the Sahara”. Secondly, the native can never become a citizen of the Ger man Empire; and. thirdly, marriage and intercourse between Europeans and natives, and people of mixed blood, must

be prohibited.

As for educational policy, on the whole it is undesirable to introduce European subject-matter into native schools. Un usually gifted natives might be provided with an understanding of the simple forms of European civilisation, and some might even be taught one or more of the European languages, so that they could be used in the lower ranks of ad ministration. Natives, however, should definitely be barred from the higher schools and universities, on the grounds that they have no creative contribution to make in the academic field, and that the production of native pseudo-scholars will endanger European political security.

The native should be allowed access to

the social life of the white man only insofar as it does not lead to his up-root ing. He must be barred from the thea tres, picture-houses and health resorts of the white population. The religious life of the native must not be interfered with, even when we shake our heads and smile.

The will of the Creator has made the human races profoundly different. Only if we respect these differences will there be peace among the peoples of the world.
