"The Jews were responsible for bringing negroes into the Rhineland with the ultimate idea of bastardising the white race which they hate and thus lowering its cultural and political level so that the Jew might dominate." "The longer I lived in Vienna, the stronger became my hatred for the promiscuous swarm of foreign peoples which began to batten on that old nursery ground of German culture." "Only an adequate large space on this earth assures a nation freedom of existence." Jewish peoples intended to taint or damage the white race, so that they could dominate the world Eastern Europeans are to blame for ruining the pristine land of Germany Lebensraum, or living space, was something that Hitler thought Germans should have more of.
