[3] Otto Glaglau: Kulturkämpfer [Culture-Fighters], Berlin, 1880. -- The Hungarian press, for the most part, held back the speeches of Istóczy, heaped abuse and insinuations upon him and sought to portray him as "mentally disturbed," according to their time-tested pattern. [This was before Freud, of course -- whose work was the pure distillation of the ad hominem tactic, super-charged with the scatological preoccupations of the shtetl, and sifted through the devious and tortuous capillaries of Talmudic argumentation.] In the Hungarian parliament, Istóczy was seen as the "enfant terrible, who blabbed out the most dreadful and dangerous things." All possible effort was expended to block his speeches or, if this did not succeed, to make his speeches unintelligible by means of tumultuously loud interruptions.

[5] Compare this with the case of Marie Pernicek (p. 273), who was in service with the Polna Rabbi Goldberger.

[6] Paul Nathan (1857/1937) came from a many-branched prolific Jewish banking family, whose unbelievable climb represents the epitomizing example of Jewish emancipation politics. Nathan's father, "a merchant with artistic inclinations and with strong speculative interests," was the type of Jewish stock exchange swindler who, however, had speculated so strongly, that he -- if one is to believe the Jewish biographer -- deprived himself of "his" fortune.
His son Paul was born in Berlin, at 18 Unter den Linden, in the same house from which -- genius loci! -- 21 years later the Jew Nobiling shot at Kaiser Wilhem I. Paul's life as "historian, politician, journalist" was that of the eternal Jew. To his intimate circle belonged (besides the entire group of "leading" Jewish politicians) the German scholar Mommsen, in more recent times the Jewish "poet" Ernst Toller. After the collapse of Germany in 1918, P. Nathan was offered the post of envoy in Vienna. Nathan declined, however, "since in Vienna the anti-Semitism would be too strong!"
The Jew Feder dedicated in 1929 a biography of Nathan to him, which bears the title: Politik und Humanität -- Paul Nathan, ein Lebensbild [Politics and Humanitarianism -- Paul Nathan, a Life Portrait]. We will still have opportunity to get to know the "humanitarianism" of this "Sage of Judah"!

[7] Budapest "possessed," according to the statement of Ónody, 7721 Jews in the year 1840, and in 1848 it already had 16,512 Jews, an increase of over 100% in just a few years! Concerning the present Judafication of Hungary, the Weltkampf [World Struggle], issues (Nr. 173 and 188) gives revealing details. According to this, the main press is 80% Jewish, all branches of trade are 80-90% in possession of Jews, by which the percentage figures given relate only to the Jewish race! In fact, one can no longer speak of a Hungarian economy or press. As for the latter, the new Hungarian press law of 1939 seems to want to effect a change -- if the government is in a position to do so.

[9] Another ritual-murder victim, the 18 year-old high school student Winter, of Konitz, was also slandered -- as a pervert. (see p. 296). In the further course of this trial, the 14 year-old Esther was described as a prostitute!

[10] In fact, Hungarian girls disappeared without a trace -- if one recalls the cases mentioned above [this case].

[46] Ónody made these discoveries. -- Paul Nathan wisely ends [his writing] without a word about them.

[47] Otto Glagau, "Kulturkämpfer", Volume X, 1885, p. 1. -- In the Jewish Berliner Zeitung (Nr. 149 from 1893) Virchow was slavishly flattered as the "Prince of Science" in the most nauseating manner. It reads; "Virchow alone embodies the scholarly figure in its most complete form. In these transparent features is reflected the work of wakeful nights of research. And how gentle and expansively the words flow from the wisdom-filled lips, the sarcastic smile which constantly plays about them clearly says that from here, too, the sharply-pointed arrow meets the [target of] the opponent, however great and strong he might be." -- "Prince" Virchow, together with his "enlightened" party colleague Rickert, to whom we will still have to return in another connection, founded in the year of Judah's Grace 1893 the high-political "Verein zur Abwehr des Antisemitismus" [literally: Union for the warding-off of anti-Semitism].
