In this obscure volume, MT. Kauf- mann revealed himself to be a des- picable mental case, afflicted by a psychopathic disease removed exact- ly no stages at ell from Nazism if only the terms "Jew' and Ger man" were exchanged for one ar- other. He recommended the whole- sale sterilization of Germans. No man has ever done so irresponsible & disservice to the cause his nation is fighting and suffering for than Nathan Kaufmann. His halfbaked brochure provided the Nazis with one of the best light artillery pieces they have.
 BOOK GIVEN
 UTMOST PUBLICITY
 And did the NaAs use 1t! Dis- covering 1t in moment of deepen ing despair, the Propaganda Minis try ordered every newspaper In Ger many to publish long, belated, pow- Crful reviews of Germany Must Per- lsh. Its contents became better known than those of any Nad book that has appeared since Mein IKampf. The VOeIZlsCher Be0bach- ter gave its review the front-page banner-line:
 Views want complete annlhilation of German people"
 The inspiration, Goebbels discov. cred by dubious logic and on evi- dence still unrevealed, was right in the White House.
 "In the Jewish literary circles of New York, 1t is an open secret" his official organ wrote, 'that RooSe- welt himself inspired and personal ly dictated the most important parts of this work of shame"
 Striking while the iron was hot, the Nazi printing houses in Berlin published several million pamph- lets, titled with white-hot words on Q flaming red cover: "The War; Aims of World Plutocracy!'
 The pamphlet closed with the re- vealing words:
 German Peoplel You know now what your eternal enemy has pre- pared for you. There is but one means of frustrating these plans for our annihilation: Winl The reading of this Jewish murder-plan will steel your strength and make mighty your will to win. Now, go back to the gun, to the plough, and the lathe and the desk. The parole is: Fight, Work. Winl"
 KAUFMANN PAMPHLETS WENT OVER BIG AT FIRST
 Thank Wotan for Nathan Kauf- mann! If he had not existed, the Nazis would have had to create him! The pamphlets went on sale at news stands for fifteen pfennigs a piece. Sales were good at first, but much of the interest was withdrawn from them when Dr. Dietrich came to Berlin the following week. The fol- lowing month, November, 1941, the Nazis began giving the pamphlets away, one to each family in Ger many along with monthly ration cards.
 In the outside world the Kauf- mann episode was hardly noticed; those who did take notice regarded 1t as just one more inanity of Ger man propaganda, disgusting and amusing at once. But to the help- less Jewish derelicts in Germany, 1t was storm cloud, real, all too real, and horrifying. The Berlin paper. BOersen Zeitung, published an edi- torial reinforcing their fears, frankly stating that. in these times of dis- tress, the German people must na- turally expect their leaders to take further measures against the death- enemy of the German people with in Germany's borders" (Copyright, 1e42, by Howard K.
