LETTER FROM "DER STUERMER", No. 14, April 1937.
Der Reichsfuehrer-SS. Berlin, S.W.ll, 19 Jan. 1937.
Prinz Albrecht Strasse 8. If in later years the history of the re-awakening of the German people is written and if already the next generation will be unable to understand that the German people was once friendly to the Jews, it will be stated that Julius Streicher and his weekly paper "Der Stuermer" have contributed a great deal towards the enlightenment regarding the enemy of humanity.
