Human beings are penalized for murder, aren't they? Well, Germany starts all the wars of magnitude. But how can you get peace if Germany exists? The only way to win an eternal peace is to make the punishment of waging war more horrible than war itself. And the Jews will do the most to bring about this confederation, because they have the most to gain. Slowly but surely the world will develop into a paradise. They must see to it that the nations of the world get together in one vast federation. I believe that the Jews have a mission in life.
Map showing Kaufman's proposed dismemberment of Germany (and Austria) Kaufman summarized Germany Must Perish! in advertisements in the New York Times and New York Post as: 'A dynamic volume outlining a plan for the extinction of Germany and containing a map showing possible dissection and apportionment of its territory.' In an interview carried in the September 26, 1941, issue of The Canadian Jewish Chronicle, Kaufman defended his plan for the 'sterilization of all Germans': Kaufman advocated the mass extermination through forced sterilization of the German people and the territorial dismemberment of Germany after an Allied victory in World War II. In 1945, a Jewish journalist wrote an article claiming that the book was 'little more than self-indulgence in dire vituperation by a man who sees Germany as the sole cause of the world's woes'. One blurb read: 'A Plan For Permanent Peace Among Civilized Nations! - New York Times.'
The book's dust jacket contained excerpts from reviews of the book. Inside the coffin was a card proclaiming, 'Read GERMANY MUST PERISH! Tomorrow you will receive your copy.' Kaufman also promoted the book by mailing a miniature black cardboard coffin with a hinged lid to reviewers. Īn advertisement in The New York Times stated that the book was released to the public on March 1, 1941. Kaufman's second and more moderate pamphlet, 'No More German Wars' published in 1942, was ignored both in the U.S. It is more humane to sterilize them.' Īccording to one study, reviews in the United States 'reflected an odd combination of straight reporting and skepticism'. But it is unnecessary to put the whole German nation to the sword. 'Since Germans are the perennial disturbers of the world's peace, says the book, they must be dealt with like any homicidal criminals. However, the Time essay recognized that Kaufman's work was not satirical it described the book as the 'enshrinement of a single sensational idea'. Time magazine published a review in its 24 March issue that compared the book to Jonathan Swift's 1729 satirical essay A Modest Proposal, which proposed reducing the population pressure in Ireland by the cannibalistic consumption of poor Irish infants. Though written and self-published by a non-notable author, the book received considerable attention.
The Nazi Party used the book, written by a Jewish author, to support their argument that Jews were plotting against their country. He was the sole proprietor of the Argyle Press and it is not known to have published any other works. Kaufman founded the Argyle Press in Newark, New Jersey, United States, in order to publish this book. The book advocated genocide through the sterilization of all Germans and the territorial dismemberment of Germany, believing that this would achieve world peace. Kaufman, which he self-published in 1941 in the United States. Germany Must Perish! is a 104-page book written by Theodore N.
