Comparing who qualifies as a Jew
under Israeli law and
under the Nazis' Nuremberg Laws,
you notice similarities
"According to Israeli law a person
is considered 'Jewish' if either
their
were Jewesses by religion... "
Two months after
Hitler became chancellor the Law
for the Restoration of the
Professional Civil
Service was
passed. Civil Servants with just
one Jewish grandparent, were
considered to be Jews.
The Nuremberg Laws were
introduced in September 15,
1935, but they did not
define who exactly qualified as
a Jew, and it was not until the First
Supplementary
Decree to
the Nuremberg Laws on
November 14, 1935, that the
Nazis attempted to
define how broad the definition
of "Jew" was. And it's pretty complicated.
"Holocaust survivor" Rabbi Leo Baeck
(1873-1956) Zionist Grand Master of
the German B'nai
B'rith.
In 1933 after the Nazis gained
power, Baeck became head of the
newly formed
Association of German Jews, which
dealt daily with the German
authorities,
particularly the Gestapo. In 1938,
membership became compulsory for
Jews.

Baeck in Nazi death concentration
camp Theresienstadt
Supposedly Baeck was arrested, and
then released by the Nazis five
times. But was allowed
to visit family in Britain in 1939,
and was teaching classes on the the
Talmud in Berlin until
the summer of 1942. But he was
eventually deported by
the Nazis to their most luxurious
concentration camp; Theresienstadt
in 1943. Where he finishing writing
his book This People.
Leo Baeck, it is claimed only
assisted the Gestapo with
"resettlement" (Nazi code
for "killing" apparently) against
his will. And although he knew that
Jews were
being gassed at Auschwitz, he
admitted to telling no one about it. source
Adolf Eichmann stated in a 1955
interview, and he been caught &
prosecuted
in 1945, he would have called Leo
Baeck as a defence witness. source
Ginsburg claimed it was the Zionists
who requested that Jews be forced to
wear the Yellow Star, and that Jews
should wear them with pride. Jewish
author Edwin Black promulgator of
Holocaust mythology, corroborates
that Zionists thought the Yellow
Star should be worn with pride. An
article entitled "Wear It with
Pride,
the Yellow Spot!" written
by Robert Weltsch, appeared in the
German Zionist weekly magazine
Juedische Rundschau (Jewish
Review) on April 4, 1933. It states: "Pick
it up ... and carry it with pride."
Jews, take it up, the Shield of
David, and wear it with pride!
Josef Ginsburg at the second trial
of Ernst Zündel in
1988, testified
under oath that: "Several
days
after Hitler had been
named Chancellor, Rabbi Leo Baeck, a
leader of the Zionist organizations
in Germany, announced
publicly that the interests of Jewry
were identical with the interests
of National Socialism. Burg
testified that Baeck meant
'Zionism,' not 'Jewry.'"
Ginsburg was interviewed by Eric
Thompson in 1988
Thompson: "You
mentioned earlier that the
Zionists and the Nazis
collaborated on the drafting
of the so-called Nuremberg
Race Laws,"
Ginsburg: "Yes,
one of the Zionist
collaborators was Rabbi Leo
Baeck, who now lives in
London, England."
Thompson: "What
did Baeck do?"
Ginsburg: "He
helped the Nazis define who
was a Jew and who was a
German and he suggested the
adoption of the yellow,
six-pointed star as the
symbol of the Jewish
nation."
