Jewish Role in WW I
What role did the Jewish population play in World War I?
In the wake of the First World War, some trends started to develop in the European politics. German military leadership believed that the defeat of Germany and Austria was brought about by the internal traitors who were working for foreign interests and were primarily comprised of Jews and communists. Whereas, naturally, German Jews are of the belief that they served in forces loyally and with bravery.The hatred of Zionists for Germany is proved by a statement of Theodor N. Kaufman, a Jewish writer who said that ‘Germany must perish’. Through his writing, he set out a plan for the destruction of Germany by a method he considered very simple: ‘the mass sterilization of all German men and women between the age of puberty and sixty years’.
World War I brought forward the following behavior of Jews which they regarded as prejudices and deliberated propaganda against them:
- Jews had instigated the war with the aim of ruining the financial and political condition of Europe and gaining some control over it by exposing it.
- Jews enriched themselves by exploiting the drastic situation of the war and made attempts to prolong it so much so that it led to the Bolshevik Revolution and their aim to further the world revolution.
- The Jews caused the military defeat by spreading the baleful malaise of stabbing the fighting troops in the back.
- Jews outside Germany succeeded in creating artificial borders, dividing Hungarians and Germans by dominating the peace negotiations while the Jews in Germany led the nation to believe that they should surrender, bringing a permanent enslavement upon them.
- The finances which were set for reparation system were controlled by the Jews and they kept them for their own profits.
- Jews used the constitutional democracy to weaken the will of the nation and destroyed the basis of their strong faith by promoting ideas such as intermarriages and miscegenation.

Mowrer says ‘No one who lived through the period from 1919 to 1926 is likely to forget the sexual promiscuity that prevailed.. Throughout a town like Berlin, hotels and pensions made vast fortunes by letting rooms by the hour or day to baggageless, unregistered guests. Hundreds of cabarets, pleasure resorts and the like served for purposes of getting acquainted and acquiring the proper mood..’ (pp. 153-4). Bryant describes throngs of child prostitutes outside the doors of the great Berlin hotels and restaurants. He adds ‘Most of them (the night clubs and vice-resorts) were owned and managed by Jews. And it was the Jews.. among the promoters of this trade who were remembered in after years.’ (pp. 144-5).
‘To many outside observers, the Russian revolution looked like a Jewish conspiracy, especially when it was followed by Jewish-led revolutionary outbreaks in much of central Europe. The leadership of the Bolshevik Party had a preponderance of Jews.. Of the seven members of the Politburo, the inner cabinet of the country, four, Trotsky (Bronstein), Zinoviev (Radomsky), Kamenev (Rosenfeld) and Sverdlov, were Jews.’
