This doing over the Bible into an anti-Jewish treatise is perhaps suitable for Nazi adults, but what about Nazi children? They too were taken care of last week, when Der Stürmer, Germany's most virulent anti-Semitic paper, controlled by that great Jew-baiting Nazi Julius Streicher, published a new Nazi Mother Goose Book from the pen of Elvira Bauer, a young Nazi kindergarten teacher. German nursery tales have always been full of bloody ogres and vicious monsters, and no exception are these latest. Only difference is that now every monster, witch and bogeyman is a leering Jew. The fairy prince who does battle with these Jewish monsters is, of course, a blond, beautiful German. Writes the Nazi Mother Goose:
"The German is proud. He can work and fight. Because he is so beautiful and full of courage, the Jew has always hated him."
On the day that the Negro Biblical extravaganza Green Pastures opened in Berlin last week. Das Schwarze Korps, official newsorgan of Adolf Hitler's personal guard, declared: "This play is an instrument of Jewish propaganda. It is directed against Nazis. . . . Negroes were shoved into the foreground in order to veil the real tendency of the play. The play is calculated to twist the Jewish question into a Negro question." Das Schwarze Korps mistranslated the play's title as Green Pastor.
