The more I study WW2 and its causes, the more I see a certain minority in Germany controlling large political, social, and financial resources. There were Jewish generals, politicians, ministers, and engineers who served Hitler earnestly. Indeed the contrl of the media is te fourth pillar of power in the modern government, yet there have been little work and thoughts on how to check and balance the media.

By the way, that newspaper ad/letter with the heading New Palestinian Party and the signature of Einstein is the first time I see it.

Regarding; "There were Jewish generals, politicians, ministers, and engineers who served Hitler earnestly" Not exactly true most Jews were purged from an positions by 1939 before the death and work camps. My mom knew some of these folks. However that was not the case in WW1 under Kaiser Wilhelm II.

My dad met some of their kids as a kid in the North of England during WW2 as he was from the South in Kent but was evacuated to the North during the Blitz.

Modern antisemitism (1897) in Austria, it was started by Karl Luger.

The aforementioned was about same time as the Birth of Jewish Zionism (1896) in Germany by Theodor Herzl. Herzl who wrote THE JEWISH STATE 1896, Hitler wrote Mein Kampf in 1926. can't help to think if Hitler drew inspiration from the 1896 document for his 1926 book;

I had a link to it in https://joecreed.substack.com/p/apartheid-what-is-it-and-what-kinds I got that link from https://ia800704.us.archive.org/5/items/AlbertEinsteinLetterToTheNewYorkTimes.December41948/Einstein_Letter_NYT_4_Dec_1948_text.pdf. I forget a lot of stuff with age, I figure everyone knew it, I guess it was most forgotten in time.
