Description
"Based on a selective reading of earlier works of philosophers, neo-pagan authors, and racial theorists such as Houston Stewart Chamberlain, the volume embodied a dichotomist world view that positioned the "Aryan" and the Jewish "races" irreconcilably against one another. All the fruits of Western culture, Rosenberg posited, had evolved solely from the Germanic tribes; yet the Roman "priestly caste" which had arisen with Christianity had combined with Freemasons, Jesuits, and "international Jewry" to erode this culture and with it German spiritual values. While Rosenberg's völkisch arguments and his emphasis on Lebensraum (German "living room" in the East) corresponded with Party ideology, many fellow Nazis found his mystical constructs and his prose hard going. Hitler himself held political reservations about Rosenberg's anti-Christian rhetoric. Until the end of his life, however, Rosenberg remained convinced his racist utopia would provide a recipe for Germany's future as the leading European power."--United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Holocaust Encyclopedia. |u https://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10007123
