During WWII, German 7th Day Adventist journals published anti-Semitic tropes and stereotypes



During WWII, German 7th Day Adventist journals published anti-Semitic tropes and stereotypes
In keeping with Nazi doctrine, the chief focus for ostracism in Adventist publications were Jews. In one publication [Gegenwarts-Fragen, no. 7/8 (1943), pp. 35-6], which was by no means an outlier, the author maintained the stereotypes of Jews as “bloodhounds”, “vermin”, “alien”, “intruder[s] who with unparalleled ruthlessness and characteristic slyness began to undermine the German soul.”
