Judar som vill förinta yttrandefriheten

Mal wirft die Anwältin dem Richter vor, sich als „Feind der Deutschen“ erwiesen zu haben, mal hält sie ihm „unbändigen Hass gegen alles Deutsche“ vor. Im Wesentlichen aber spricht sie dem Gericht die Legitimation ab, den Prozess überhaupt führen zu dürfen. Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland, argumentiert sie, sei nur die „Organisationsform einer Modalität der Fremdherrschaft“, das Deutsche Reich existiere weiter. Es ist eine Formulierung Carlo Schmidts, auf die sie sich beruft. Das Anliegen von Sylvia Stolz ist es, „die Handlungsfähigkeit des Deutschen Reichs wieder herzustellen“.

"---"German Jewry, which found its temporary end during the Nazi period, was one of the most interesting and for modern Jewish history most influential centers of European Jewry. During the era of emancipation, i.e. in the second half of the nineteenth and in the early twentieth century, it had experienced a meteoric rise.... It had fully participated in the rapid industrial rise of Imperial Germany, made a substantial contribution to it and acquired a renowned position in German economic life. Seen from the economic point of view, no Jewish minority in any other country, not even that in America could possibly compete with the German Jews. They were involved in large scale banking, a situation unparallelled elsewhere, and, by way of high finance, they had also penetrated German industry. A considerable portion of the wholesale trade was Jewish.

They controlled even such branches of industry which is in general not in Jewish hands. Examples are shipping or the electrical industry, and names such as Ballin and Rathenau do confirm this statement. I hardly know of any other branch of emancipated Jewry in Europe or the American continent that was as deeply rooted in the general economy as was German Jewry. American Jews of today are absolutely as well as relatively richer than the German Jews were at the time, it is true, but even in America with its unlimited possibilities the Jews have not succeeded in penetrating into the central spheres of industry (steel, iron, heavy industry, high finance, shipping), as was the case in Germany.

Their position in the intellectual life of the country was equally unique. In literature, they were represented by illustrious names. The theatre was largely in their hands. The daily press, above all its internationally influential sector, was essentually owned by Jews or controlled by them. As paradoxical as this may sound today, after the Hitler era, I have no hesitation to say that hardly any section of the Jewish people has made such extensive use of the emancipation offered to them in the nineteenth century as the German Jews! In short, the history of the Jews in Germany from 1870 to 1933 is probably the most glorious rise that has ever been achieved by any branch of the Jewish people". (p. 116)

"The majority of the German Jews were never fully assimilated and were much more Jewish than the Jews in other West European countries". (p.120)---"

Nu vet jag inte precis vad som kan räknas som 'contempt of court' i England eller i olika rättssystem i USA, men jag tror att hon skulle även där riskera fängelse om hon betedde sig så.
