Chickens Lay Eggs at Jews' Feet!

From The NSP News Service:  Now, isn't this a cute story.  For ages, Jewish economic interests have made a massive broo-hah-hah in defensive of minority rights, privileges and perks of all kinds. Yet here we show a bird of a different chirp, for certain. The Jews, as exemplified by the flap over the cover of Bloomberg Business Week,  get a bit of their own medicine, in the form of being called "racist" themselves. Well, how does that feel, Jewish fat-cats? Now, the "beast to which you have given birth" is starting to turn on YOU! Perhaps this comes as no serious threat to Jewish ZOG interests, but just give it time! Blacks and other minorities will not continuously serve as your lap-dog lackeys, to be helped when convenient in accord with your own interests.

     No, the NSP does not see a serious rift here -- yet. Nor do we suggest that American society is on the brink of a race war. BUT let's ALL remember that the true source of cultural discontent of whatever type lies squarely at the feet of Jewish special interests. Sometimes, we tend to concentrate on "deflective issues" such as "Black discontent," "illegal immigration," and so forth, while losing track of the poorly hidden fact -- to anyone who is thinking perhaps --  that the basic source of ALL American and European ills is, as was said in The Third Reich, "The Jew."  Take away the Jewish equation, and a great deal of cultural ills will rapidly diminish! Let's remember, then, where the TRUE PROBLEM LIES: AT THE FEET OF JEWISH WORLD PROVOCATEURS!

Bloomberg Businessweek under fire for 'racist' cover

The magazine depicts minorities in a house filled with cash. Sadly, the mortgage crisis disproportionally affected minority homebuyers.

 

•  

 

Bloomberg Businessweek has caused an uproar for using offensive stereotypes of minorities to illustrate a story on the housing rebound.

The magazine has expressed regret over the cover of last week's issue, which featured images of minorities, including a barefoot black man with exaggerated features, grabbing wads of cash in a house overflowing with money.

An African-American woman with large lips is shown feeding a dog. In other rooms of the house, Latino women are grabbing and holding cash. The cover features this headline: "The Great American Housing Rebound. Flips. No-look bids. 300 percent returns. What could possibly go wrong?"

Reaction on Twitter was scathing. Matt Yglesias of Slate wrote: "If you like your business news spiced up with racism, turn to the latest @businesweek cover." Forbes' Jeff Bercovici added: "What can everyone who had anything to do with this Businessweek cover have been thinking?"

The Huffington Post described the cover as "racist chic."

Writing on the website of the Columbia Journalism Review, Ryan Chittum noted that minorities were targeted by predatory lenders responsible for part of the housing bubble. Many who qualified for conventional mortgages were pushed into risky, high-cost, subprime loans, a fact that the Businessweek cover fails to point out.

"In other words, minority borrowers were disproportionately victimized in the bubble," he writes. "But Businessweek here has them on the cover bathing in housing-ATM cash, implying that they’re going to create another bubble. That’s not okay."

Josh Tyrangiel, Bloomberg Businessweek's editor-in-chief, expressed regret over the uproar. "Our cover illustration last week got strong reactions, which we regret," he wrote in a statement sent to Politico. "Our intention was not to incite or offend. If we had to do it over again we'd do it differently."

The artist reportedly behind the image, Andres Guzman, writes on his Tumblr page that he "was asked to make an excited family with large quantities of money."

Both the NAACP and the National Association of Black Journalists had no immediate comment.

 

 

 

 

Truthless Jews and Hopes of a Third Intifada.

From the NSP News Service:  A third intifada would be a welcome sight to the NSP.  As usual, Israeli persecution of  Palestinians continues; a third intifada might very well bring about some much-overdue payback, as Jews continue to encroach on Palestinian lands. The Palestinian prisoner died of a heart attack? At 30 years of age? In an Israeli jail? Sure, one can die of a heart attack at any time, but the circumstances appear a bit suspicious. don't they? Finally, a bit of serious unrest in Israel and the occupied Palestinian region(s) would be a good thing for our President to view.           Start of a third intifada? Palestinian unrest grows ahead of Obama visit   February 26, 2013, 9:23 am

News analysis

TEL AVIV, Israel - For Israel, the good news on the West Bank was that in 2012 for the first time in 39 years terrorism claimed not one Israeli victim.

But in a region where events can overtake expectations with neck-snapping speed, that is not a sign of peace to come. The question occupying Israelis and Palestinians is: Has the third intifada begun?

For weeks Palestinians have been confronting Israeli troops in numerous areas of the West Bank, sometimes as a result of local grievances, sometimes sparked by attacks by Jewish settlers, and most recently, by the death in detention of a Palestinian, who Palestinian officials claim was tortured to death.

Arafat Shalish Jaradat, a 30-year-old Palestinian who was arrested for allegedly throwing stones at Israeli soldiers, was arrested Feb. 18 and died in prison for no clear reason five days later. He is a Palestinian hero, a rallying call for angry young men and women.

Israeli analysts, however, believe that the protests are being carefully managed by Palestinian military officials, whose aim is to turn up the heat on the West Bank before President Barack Obama’s March 20 visit to Jerusalem and Ramallah. The theory is that the Palestinians want to make sure that their struggle with Israel tops the agenda, and not Iran or Syria.

If true, it’s a dangerous ploy. Amos Gilad, the Director of the Political-Security Staff in the Defense Ministry, told Army Radio, “It looks as if the Palestinian Authority is trying to walk a delicate tightrope: both raising unrest and displays of violence and not wanting the matter to spin out of control. The problem is that in this game, you never know when things are spinning out of control.”

Tension in the West Bank has been rising for about the last six months, partly because the United States and Israel have withheld promised funds, causing the Palestinian Authority to say there is no money to pay the salaries of Palestinian police and civil servants. Unemployment has also soared at the same time. The resulting anger and frustration fuel protests against Israel.

The first intifada, or popular uprising against Israel, was sparked by anger at a traffic accident in Gaza in which an Israeli truck driver killed four Palestinians in Dec. 1987. According to many, the second intifada was provoked by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's visit to the holiest place in Judaisim and the third holiest place in Islam -- known as the Temple Mount or al-Aksa Mosque, respectively. It led to riots and arrests.

Each initial incident, relatively small in itself, tapped into a cauldron of spontaneous rage, deep-seated anger and frustration and, ultimately, support from the Palestinian leadership, albeit covert, and led to years of violence, arrests and deaths.

So what’s up now? Among Palestinians there is again deep anger at the plight of their roughly five thousand prisoner in Israeli jails, which threatens the rule of Fatah in the West Bank. In Gaza, Hamas managed to free more than a thousand of their prisoners from Israeli jails in return for the release of their one Israeli captive, Sgt. Gilad Shalit, who they held for five years. Now Hamas appeals to voters in the West Bank: Give us control of the West Bank and we’ll soon free your prisoners.

The Palestinian Authority government led by President Abu Mazen has to look as if it is doing something, so it is supporting the prisoner protests, even while warning the protesters that it will not tolerate serious violence against Israel -- an explosive contradiction.

One thing that Palestinian and Israeli analysts do agree on: Obama wants to encourage the peace process, but the danger is that the West Bank will explode before he even gets here.

Dr. Pluss Law Suit -- To Correct the Latest Idiotic Reporting!

From the NSP News Service:  Since approximately February 20, 2013, a whole series of local north-eastern  New Jersey Internet News Sites (for example, The Teaneck Patch, The Ridgewood Patch, etc.) and at least one national site (nj.com) have reported on the "breaking news" of NSP Leader Dr. Jacques Pluss and his wife Mrs. Jessica Stephens-Pluss bringing suit against various state and local "law enforcement agencies" for violations of Federal Civil Rights Laws on police conduct and police brutality. These allegations stem from state and local police conduct during the January 26, 2011, "raid" on the Pluss's Ridgewood, New Jersey, apartment, better known to many readers as "The Siege of 25 Heights Road." Sadly, although not unexpectedly, the reporting on this ridiculously unnecessary incident is replete with errors of fact that have been repeated time and again until they are now virtually legendary. The same is true of the latest reports on the Pluss's civil suit(s) against "law enforcement." While Dr. Pluss and his wife do not wish to use the Jewish controlled mass media as an avenue for conveying a number of corrections of outright falsehoods, they do wish to offer some remedy to a selection of the gross inaccuracies reflected in the latest reports. In a telephone conversation with Dr. Pluss on the afternoon of Saturday, February 23, 2013, the NSP Leader noted the following egregious errors, and wishes to offer correct information here. Please bear in mind that this is merely a selection of errors. It is not intended to be complete, but reflects items which Dr. Pluss would like corrected now via this post. With that said, please do note:

1.  It seems that all of the latest reports have misrepresented the nature of the relationship between Dr. and Mrs. Pluss at the time of The Siege.  Jessica Diane Stephens and Jacques Anthony Pluss have been married since October, 2006. They were married in a non-sectarian marriage ceremony in the town of HoHoKus, NJ. Consequently, reports indicating that Dr. Pluss and Ms. Stephens were living together but not married at the time of The Siege are utterly incorrect.

2.  Dr. Pluss is not a "neo-Nazi." He does not even know exactly what those terms mean. "Nazi" is a German word -- an abbreviation for the five-word-long political party headed by Third Reich Fuhrer Adolf Hitler from 1921-45. Today, the terms "neo-Nazi" convey the image of uneducated, unclean, violent white supremacist "skin heads" who actually know very little about original Nazism. Dr. Pluss is a National Socialist, and he does adhere to the teachings of Adolf Hitler, but recasts them in a twenty-first century light. But perhaps the most significant point here is that any mention of the word "Nazi" in connection with a person damns that person to the lowest levels of Hell, and justifies any sort of negative reaction to that person or negative treatment of that person. While it is important to differentiate, for the sake of the correct usage of terms and the ideas associated with them, between 1920's-40's Nazi, "neo-Nazi's" and National Socialists, connection of an individual to any of the terms noted above usually has the effect of engendering an automatic, severely negative and unthinking reaction -- which is the result of over 70 years of brainwashing resulting in the creation of anti-Nazi automatons!  It is only through proper education that the stigma attached to National Socialist thinking might be reduced or removed. At that point, the actual benefits of National Socialist philosophy and culture can be properly appreciated and enjoyed. Until then, anybody associated with National Socialism will have a very hard time of it -- and quite unfairly, as such a person will be constantly misunderstood.

3.  Dr. Pluss's interest in National Socialism has a practical side, but it is primarily academic and scholarly. He has entered into the contemporary American political scene as a National Socialist, but he spends most of his time studying Third Reich Germany and Europe during and just after WW2. He has been working on a volume about the Battle of Berlin, 1945, for a number of years, and he has already published one popular novel and about a dozen scholarly articles and book reviews. Originally an expert in medieval History, Pluss left that field in 2000 to devote himself to Third Reich studies.

4.  Dr. Pluss spent most of his academic career teaching at The William Paterson University of New Jersey, where he rose from the rank of Assistant Professor of History to Associate Professor of History (with tenure) and Associate Director (Coordinator) of the Humanities Honors Program. He was at WPU-NJ from 1984-2000. Before that, he was an Instructor in Modern History at The University of Chicago, 1982-84, from where he received the Ph.D. degree in 1983.

5.  After spending two years outside of academia and devoting himself to a horse ranch he still co-owns in northern New Jersey, he joined the faculty of Fairleigh-Dickinson University, Metropolitan Campus, Teaneck, NJ, as an adjunct professor in the School of Political, International and Historical Studies. He was invited to instruct there half-time, first to fill in for a professor who had lost a grown daughter in the Twin Towers 9/11 Disaster and then to stay on to instruct, again half-time, in medieval History and introductory history courses. At the same time, Dr. Pluss continued to work at the horse ranch as head of horse leasing.  Dr. Pluss never understood his position at Fairleigh-Dickinson University to be permanent, nor did he ever want it to become permanent.  He should NOT be as closely associated with that institution as he has been, since, for him, his work there was a convenient way to divide his time between Sussex County, NJ, Milford, Pennsylvania, and Ridgewood, NJ (where his teenage daughter resided with her mother, Pluss's former spouse, Deborah.)

6.  Dr. Pluss NEVER sent multiple e-mails, text messages, or any other form of communication (cyber or otherwise) to the National Director of the Anti-Defamation League.  He sent ONE message to the ADL generally in the "comments" section of the ADL's website.  He does not deny that he used inappropriate language in his two sentence long comment, nor does he deny that the comment would probably be shown to the National Director. Yet he never, in his estimation, threatened said National Director.  He never harassed that individual. He wished him no actual physical harm.  He still does not know today where that individual resides, nor does he wish to know.

7.  Dr. Pluss did not ever, in Ridgewood, NJ, or anywhere else possess "weapons." He owned one hunting rifle, which was purchased legally in early 2000, and had not been used for many years. It was stored, in its suede case, in the back of a clothes closet in a hallway.  Jessica Stephens-Pluss was in possession of two non-working .22 calibre hunting rifles, which were registered in NJ to her mother. Mr. George Stephens Sr., the long-deceased father of Mrs. Stephens-Pluss, was the original owner of those rifles. Mrs. Stephens-Pluss was holding those unworkable weapons for her mother, who was confined to a nursing home, and Mrs. Stephens-Pluss held (and still holds) "power of attorney" for her mother, who asked her to take the rifles for safe-keeping. Yet the NJ State Police were working under the utterly erroneous assumption that the Pluss household contained a veritable cache of weapons, including grenades, explosives, and automatic weapons!

The only individuals who possessed automatic weapons at the time of The Siege were members of a full SWAT Team dispatched to Dr. and Mrs. Pluss's four room apartment to help conduct a search and possibly confiscate Dr. Pluss's computer. No such "fire-power" was needed. What sort of investigation led to the belief, on the part of law enforcement, that the Pluss's were in possession of enough "fire-power" to take out a few city blocks! Now, that's what one could call really bad, probably sloppy and stereotyped "profiling!"

8.  Both Dr. Pluss and Mrs. Stephens-Pluss were very badly manhandled by the police. Dr. Pluss was beaten, burned with a cigarette, kicked while down and zip-tied, and dragged across a cement patio pavement. Mrs. Stephens-Pluss was treated even worse, as she was forced to lay on an icy, snowy cement patio pavement, at first refused, and then was thrown to the ground. Her head met the cement with some force. She was hospitalized with a serious concussion the next day, January 27, and suffers migraines and anxiety to this day.

9.  Even though both Dr. Pluss and Mrs. Stephens-Pluss asked to see a search warrant and, later, an arrest warrant, none were produced at the time of The Siege. 

*********************************************************************************

The list of items enumerated above could go on and on. Dr. Pluss and Mrs. Stephens-Pluss have already been interviewed (voluntarily) by State of New Jersey Police Internal Affairs. How Mr. Paul Aronsohn, presently mayor of Ridgewood, NJ, could say the charges filed by Dr. and Mrs. Pluss's attorney are "baseless" even though he admitted he did not know anything about the incident (?), is beyond common logic. And the readers are reminded that this post, which will probably be the only one of its kind, did not even begin to describe the utter destruction "law enforcement" unnecessarily inflicted on Dr. and Mrs. Pluss's property, which contained over $100,000 in family antiques brought from Europe by Dr. Pluss's parents years ago.

By the end of the day, so to speak, this surrealistic, Kafkaesque scene reminded Dr. Pluss of "The Battle of Berlin."  It also impressed upon him and his wife that the Gestapo he studies for his writing projects is alive and well -- right here in the good 'ole U.S.A.

Seven Decades After What Holocaust? Continued from Last Post!

Seven decades after Holocaust, neo-Nazis use soccer to preach Hitler's hate By Donald Snyder, NBC News Special Correspondent February 16, 2013, 10:15 am

NBCNews.com

Alex Grimm / Bongarts via Getty Images Fans of the German soccer team Kaiserslautern hold up Israeli flags to protest against anti-Semitism prior to the Bundesliga match between FC Kaiserslautern and VfL Wolfsburg in March last year.

Nearly seven decades after the Holocaust, young soccer fans in Germany have become targets of neo-Nazis who preach the hatred of Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich.

“Again and again we see neo-Nazi presence in [sports] fan clubs and my office asks that action be taken against them,” said Winfriede Schreiber, head of the Brandenburg branch of the German government’s intelligence service. “For example, we see the fan club in [the German city] Cottbus consisting of a lot of neo-Nazis. We asked the football club to do something about this.”

At her office in Brandenburg, a state in eastern Germany, Schreiber monitors extremism and reports evidence of hate crimes to prosecutors.

“The neo-Nazis now look like everyone else,” Schreiber said. “Gone are the jackboots and black leather jackets that used to make it easy to expose them. Now they blend into the local population.”

According to Schreiber, the neo-Nazis subscribe to Hitler’s views and extol his one-time deputy, Rudolf Hess.

“The danger the neo-Nazis pose is that they are against democracy and they work to alienate young people from democracy,” she said. “They have made ‘Juden’ [Jews] a curse word even if there are no Jews playing on the soccer field.”

Jens Teschke, a spokesman for Germany's interior ministry, which is responsible for domestic security, said neo-Nazi activities are visible throughout Germany, but strongest in the country's east.

“Neo-Nazis take young soccer fans to homes built in the Nazi times as holiday retreats for elite members of Hitler’s party,” Teschke said. “They laud the Nazi era and the legacy of this era.”

According to Teschke, the German government launched programs in January 2011 to make soccer coaches more aware of neo-Nazi tactics.

The problem is not limited to Germany.

In England, fans of London-based Tottenham Hotspur -- which boasts a strong Jewish following -- have been subjected to anti-Semitic abuse for many years. In November, supporters of West Ham United "hissed on several occasions, mocking the mass execution of Jews during the Second World War," the U.K.'s Telegraph newspaper reported. "While the hissing, shamefully, is nothing new, Tottenham fans were also subjected to a chant of 'Adolf Hitler, he's coming for you.'"

Only days earlier, an American college student suffered a foot-long stab wound and a punctured lung when a mob of up to 50 masked men armed with knives and baseball bats attacked Tottenham Hotspur fans before a Europa League match in Rome.

Witnesses told local media that the attackers shouted "Jews, Jews" as they laid siege to the bar.

"The coordinated attack ... appears to have been motivated at least in part by anti-Semitism," the Telegraph reported.

The Simon Wiesenthal Center also recently highlighted the issue's growth. "The problem of anti-Semitic abuse at soccer matches which until recently has been limited to Eastern Europe, has been revived in Western Europe," it said in a report.

Prime targets of anti-Semitism on the soccer field are the Makkabi teams, Jewish athletic clubs located in 15 German cities.

“Every Makkabi team in Germany is confronted with anti-Semitism, as are teams with Jewish roots,” said Deidre Berger, director of the American Jewish Committee (AJC) in Berlin, an advocacy group.

Soccer coach Claudio Oppenberg, who is Jewish, said his team also faced anti-Semitism from Muslim immigrants.

According to Oppenberg, who’s coached Tus Makkabi Berlin for seven years, only two members of the current team are Jewish. The rest are from North Africa and Turkey.

During a game last March, Oppenberg said members of a Turkish team shouted at fellow Turks on the Makkabi team: “How can you play for these damned Jews?”

The Turkish team beat the Makkabis 1-0. Oppenberg said the Turkish coach confronted him after the game and said: “We f---d you Jews.”

Oppenberg filed charges with the German Football Federation and the Turkish coach was suspended for a year.

“If you have racism and anti-Semitism in society, then you will have it in football too,” said Alex Feuerherdt, a soccer referee and freelance writer

Hail to German Neo-Nazi's! Down with Jews!

From the NSP News Service: The article below takes the expected "politically correct" approach to alleged neo-Nazi activity amongst German sports fans and other members of the German population. But, for a moment, let's take a serious look at this supposed neo-Nazi activity, and the alleged growth in neo-Nazi numbers, particularly in eastern Germany, which had suffered communist oppression until about 1990, when Germany reunified into one (great) state.

First, Germany (particularly the eastern sections) is full (unfortunately) of all sorts of immigrants, many illegals, from opportunity-seekers in the Near East, particularly Turkey. Why would anybody who is German want this riff-raff to be stealing their jobs and perverting their culture? The situation is akin to, but worse than, the issue of illegal immigrants who flood into the United States and then receive all sorts of entitlements and privileges from the Obama regime -- entitlements which deserving Americans find very difficult to get. Also, eastern Germany, victimized by Soviet overlordship for almost 50 years after WW 2, tends toward some National Socialist views and actions as a reaction against decades of Soviet cruelty.

Second, "antisemitism" is practically a cultural commonplace in many European nations. That, in and of itself, gives "antisemitism" there a form of moral prerogative and even a form of legal precedent. Fear and hatred of Jews goes back many centuries in most European nations. Jews there have always caused many severe economic problems, and always remain an exclusive and xenophobic "culture" which shuns the parent communities hosting them. They are, hence, parasitic. The Third Reich ridded much of Europe of at least a portion of the Jewish population -- who would want them back? Let them go to Israel.

Third, to suggest that the much-exaggerated "Holocaust" and concomitant "hatred" of Jews can be chalked up to Adolf Hitler's programs is ludicrous. It is time now to understand Hitler for what he actually was -- a political and cultural visionary forced into war by very bad advice and "cornering" by economic and military interests. Most harms befalling Jews during the 1930's and 1940's were sponsored by national governments of nations "allied" with Third Reich Germany. Most "crimes" against Jews were perpetrated by local non-German populations. Just take a look at the pogroms against Jews in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland. Take a look at the Ukraine. Whatever "Holocaust" took place was largely a local phenomenon, and based on long periods of local populations suffering under persecution led by Jews! Many Soviet political commissars, communist to the core and advocates of communist tyranny, were Jews, also!

As for "hatred" generally, recall that the Soviet Union under Stalin executed more Jews than Germany ever could have. Occupying Soviet forces after the War raped German women at warp speed, carried off hundreds of thousands of Germen soldiers to a squalid death in Siberian work camps. They brutally forced "ethnic Germans" living in areas outside of Germany yet culturally German, out of their homes, off their land, and into ghastly refugee camps in Germany proper, that is, if they survived the "trip" to Germany, often on foot in freezing winter weather! One recent study indicated that in 1979 there were still about 72,000 Germans "detained" in various parts of the Soviet Union! The NSP believes that a handful of hardy German souls are still there today, never to see their homeland again.

And the leaders of the "Allied" forces occupying Germany just after World War Two showed a hatred for Germans. This hatred led many Germans, whether POW's or civilians, to perish under the weight of very difficult persecution. The American General Eisenhower (a half-Jew himself, and known as such in his student days at West Point) wanted to "starve Germany." The American Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Morgenthau (himself a Jew) wanted Germany to be whittled down to a nation surviving on "subsistence agriculture" with practically no modern industry at all. The American General George Patton stated in 1945 that he "wanted to piss in the Rhine River." And any German civilians who attempted to deliver food to starving German POW's kept in open-air camps in the horrid winters of 1945-46 and 1946-47 were subject to capital punishment!

Finally, the "Holocaust" is a historical event which occurred almost 70 years ago. It is time to let it rest in the past, and even slowly "die out" along with other historical inaccuracies and quasi-mythical events. Any neo-Nazi's in Germany today, along with neo-Nazi the world over, are part of a contemporary movement of unhappiness with degenerate Western culture.
Organizations like The Simon Wiesenthal Center exist simply to perpetuate notions which will, through guilt manipulation, bring sympathy and cash to hungry Jewish opportunists. Why, the late Wiesenthal himself was a fraud who practically invented post-War Nazi's to hunt down, and he was not anything near the "Holocaust survivor" he claimed to be. Any and all branches of the Simon Wiesenthal Center should be shut down immediately. Today, led by Ephraim Zuroff, the Center "hunts" the few 90 near old men and women who, through clever manipulation of false evidence, are classed as "original Nazi's" and are themselves fiercely persecuted. This nonsense gives Zuroff a job!

The NSP applauds any efforts anywhere to reintroduce National Socialism into a nation's political, cultural, and economic life. National Socialism is one of the few bulwarks holding together an otherwise collapsing Western civilization.

Ed. Note: The article below is, of course, "politically correct." Take it with a grain of salt -- a large one. See the body of the article text in the "comments" section.

The problem is not limited to Germany. In England, fans of London-based Tottenham Hotspur -- which boasts a strong Jewish following -- have been subjected to anti-Semitic abuse for many years. In November, supporters of West Ham United "hissed on several occasions, mocking the mass execution of Jews during the Second World War," the U.K.'s Telegraph newspaper reported. "While the hissing, shamefully, is nothing new, Tottenham fans were also subjected to a chant of 'Adolf Hitler, he's coming for you.'" Only days earlier, an American college student suffered a foot-long stab wound and a punctured lung when a mob of up to 50 masked men armed with knives and baseball bats attacked Tottenham Hotspur fans before a Europa League match in Rome. Witnesses told local media that the attackers shouted "Jews, Jews" as they laid siege to the bar. "The coordinated attack ... appears to have been motivated at least in part by anti-Semitism," the Telegraph reported. The Simon Wiesenthal Center also recently highlighted the issue's growth. "The problem of anti-Semitic abuse at soccer matches which until recently has been limited to Eastern Europe, has been revived in Western Europe," it said in a report. Prime targets of anti-Semitism on the soccer field are the Makkabi teams, Jewish athletic clubs located in 15 German cities. “Every Makkabi team in Germany is confronted with anti-Semitism, as are teams with Jewish roots,” said Deidre Berger, director of the American Jewish Committee (AJC) in Berlin, an advocacy group. Soccer coach Claudio Oppenberg, who is Jewish, said his team also faced anti-Semitism from Muslim immigrants. According to Oppenberg, who’s coached Tus Makkabi Berlin for seven years, only two members of the current team are Jewish. The rest are from North Africa and Turkey. During a game last March, Oppenberg said members of a Turkish team shouted at fellow Turks on the Makkabi team: “How can you play for these damned Jews?” The Turkish team beat the Makkabis 1-0. Oppenberg said the Turkish coach confronted him after the game and said: “We f---d you Jews.” Oppenberg filed charges with the German Football Federation and the Turkish coach was suspended for a year. “If you have racism and anti-Semitism in society, then you will have it in football too,” said Alex Feuerherdt, a soccer referee and freelance writer     -- Karl Wolff III, Director of Communications, NSP.  1488!

Dr. Pluss's Law Suit against Police Goes Forward!

From the NSP News Service:  But this is just the beginning, I tell you!  The wheels of justice move slowly, but they do move.  In short, the crux of the plaintiffs' case rests on the more-than-severe and multiple violations of the Civil Rights of Dr. Jacques A. Pluss and his wife, Ms. Jessica Diane Stephens, during the infamous travesty known now to some readers as "The Siege of 25 Heights Road, Ridgewood, NJ." At that time, a number of "law enforcement agencies" indulged in nothing short of "over-the-top overkill" when executing a search (and supposedly an arrest) warrant on the home of Dr. Pluss in January, 2011.

Let It Fall: Auschwitz Synagogue Collapsing! Hoorah!

From the NSP News Service: The article below is self-explanitory. Let the damned building fall to the ground!

Ed. note: There was NO Death Camp at Auschwitz. Auschwitz was a labor and transit center for Jews and other enemies of the Third Reich. If any detainees died there, it was from natural causes or, possibly, exhaustion from labor. What Jew do you know who actually works?

And, if the repairs to the building amount to a mere $300,000 -- not much by today's standards, and not much for your average wealthy Jew -- why are the American Jew Fat-Cats not caughing up the cash to help their poor Polish Jew comrades? Why, most American Jews would rather use the money to buy their corpulent wives fancy baubles and trinkets -- to make them look like real rich Jewish Meatballs -- while they sleep around with blond Gentile women who can satisfy their lust.

Only surviving synagogue near Auschwitz on verge of collapse By Carlo Angerer, Producer, NBC News February 13, 2013, 9:50 am

REGENSBURG, Germany -- A synagogue near the former Nazi death camp Auschwitz is on the verge of collapse, officials warned on Wednesday.

The head of the Auschwitz Jewish Center Foundation, which maintains the historic building in the southern Polish city of Oswiecim, said in a phone interview that the synagogue is on unstable ground and if it is not reinforced soon, it may crumble.

"There are already small cracks visible," Tomasz Kuncewicz said. "A thorough examination found that the ground is unstable and with heavy rain or something similar, anything can happen."

If the Chevra Lomdei Mishnayot Synagogue were to collapse, the only surviving Jewish house of prayer in the city would be ruined.

Oswiecim, once an ordinary town home to a large Jewish community, became an international symbol of the Holocaust when Nazi Germany ran its largest and deadliest concentration camp just two miles from the city center during World War II. Some 1.5 million people, mostly Jews, were killed at the Auschwitz-Birkenau camps.

"Several synagogues were located in the area, and this was the only one not destroyed by the Nazis," Kuncewicz said.

Jacek Bednarczyk / EPA Students visit the Chewra Lomdei Mishnayot Synagogue in Auschwitz, Poland, on Wednesday.

The synagogue itself seems to trace the tragic path of the Jewish community in the area.

Built around 1913, it thrived until the Nazi occupation. During World War II, the interior was gutted and it was used to store ammunition.

After the war and the liberation of the concentration camp, a group of Jewish survivors restored the building provisionally, but it stopped operating when the small group emigrated from Poland shortly thereafter. In the 1970s, the country's communist government nationalized the building and turned it into a carpet warehouse.

It wasn't until 1998 that the synagogue was turned back over to the Jewish community, a historic first in Poland after the fall of the communist regime in 1989. It was rededicated in 2000 in an effort to rekindle the Jewish community that had been so vibrant in the city decades before.

Today, it is not only a place of prayer, but also a historical site and educational center that draws 25,000 visitors each year.

Organizers are seeking $300,000 for the renovation effort, the majority from donations, but they also are asking for help from government agencies.

Kuncewicz said he hoped to start the repairs this spring: "We are working very hard to raise money for this project, to make sure the synagogue will stand."

Unholy JEWS Take Down Pope Benedict!

From the NSP News Service: Just read behind the lines in the article excepted below, and you can see how the JEWS took down an ailing Pope Benedict by connecting him to the Society of Pope Pius X (full name of organization given below), a Roman Catholic charitable organization, which, according to Jew media (isn't almost all mass media controlled by them? Think not -- check who owns your local newspapers), took an "antisemitic stance" and criticized Jewish conduct and "mores"!  Now, the Jews think they can manipulate the Catholic Church? What arrogance. And they'll see that they have another thing coming if they meddle in Church affairs! Too bad this is 2013 and not 1213, or a good, wholloping Pogrom or two against Jew populations everywhere would settle the matter!

In any case, the NSP, which is not a Roman Catholic organization, now decries yet again unholy Jewish evils and supports the Roman Catholic Church in any position it takes either to deny "antisemitism" in its ranks or to promote it! As long as any organization reviles the Jews, we at the NSP support it!

Finally, remember that the Roman Catholiic Church under Pope Pius XII did, in fact, aid former Nazi's and Nazi collaborators just after World War II -- and for good reason, since the Roman Catholic Church was quite afraid (as were the "Allies" in the late 1940's) that parts of Europe might "go communist" -- and any former Third Reich resources which could fight communism were considered legitimate. This held true for the "Allied" view, too -- after all, who sponsored the famed "Gehlen Organization" to fight leftist activity in Germany after the War ended? The United States, of course. That Organization was made up of former Third Reich agents. Read up and learn about it!

Pope says retirement is for 'good of the church' By John Newland, Staff Writer, NBC News Wed Feb 13, 2013 9:07 AM EST

Pope Benedict XVI waves as he takes place for his weekly general audience at the Vatican on Wednesday.

Pope Benedict XVI said Wednesday that he had reached his decision to resign after prayer led him to conclude it would be for the "good of the church."

His words came in his first public appearance since he announced Monday that he planned to step aside at the end of the month because of his advanced age and declining health.

"I have done this in full freedom for the good of the church, after much prayer and having examined my conscience before God," Benedict said at his weekly general audience speech, according to an English transcript from the Holy See press office at the Vatican.

Benedict, 85, had said in a Monday statement that the papacy required "strength of mind and body," and that both had deteriorated.

The Vatican publicly said Tuesday for the first time that the pope had a pacemaker, but Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said that it was not new. The pacemaker was installed 10 years ago, when Benedict was Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Lombardi said. A new battery was put in three months ago in what Lombardi described as a routine procedure.

In Wednesday's remarks, the pontiff said he felt uplifted by the outpouring of support that followed his surprising resignation announcement.

"Thank all of you for the love and for the prayers with which you have accompanied me," he told the packed general audience hall. "In these days, which have not been easy for me, I have felt almost physically the power of prayer -- your prayers."

Benedict also said he had made his decision "knowing full well the seriousness of this act, but also realizing that I am no longer able to carry out the Petrine ministry with the strength which it demands."

The pope's brother, Georg Ratzinger, said Tuesday that Benedict had also been troubled by problems such as the "Vatileaks" scandal in which a butler leaked secret documents.

"You notice that the aging process impacts body and soul, and especially on his strength," Ratzinger said. "And he thinks that with a reduced workload he couldn't carry on this great responsibility, that a younger person is needed to capture the problems of today's time and who has the power to do what has to be done.”

Georg Ratzinger also brought up "the relationship to the Pius Brotherhood" as a problem that troubled the pope.

That organization, formally known as the Society of St. Pius X, fell into a harsh public spotlight in December when its leader, Bishop Bernard Fellay, said Jews were "the enemies of the church." His comment drew criticism from all corners of the church and from the public in general.

Jews and Negroes: From the NSP Archives.

From the NSP News Service: According to NSP Leader Dr. Jacques Pluss, the statements below -- from an article in 2007 appearing in internet sources from History News Network -- caused "quite a flap." It seems clear that anyone who read the original article, entitled Pluss Now Says He is a Nazi, and Proud of  It," had (or now has) absolutely no idea of the purpose and workings of propaganda. Let's see how much of a "flap" Dr. Pluss's statements make now. Do they still cause all sorts of "rile and rancor?" If so, why? What in the world is the "big deal" about a couple of theoretical assertions?



Another opinion he shares with Himmler seems to be the support of genocide. Pluss has “clarified” several “racial questions,” that presumably have been asked by his neo-Nazi peers. In regard to African-Americans he maintains that:

Negroes are not humans. The True National Socialist view of the Negro is that each one of them should be liquidated, that is, killed immediately or after performing forced labor without shelter or food. The elderly, women and children should probably be wiped out first, since their labor potential is less than that of a healthy male. Special Action Squads should be formed, made up of Aryans, and charged with the rapid liquidation of the Negro blight amongst us.

Not surprisingly, Pluss does not hold a high opinion of Jews (who, according to him, are also sub-human), but rather exhorts fellow neo-Nazis to:

Liquidate them wherever you find them. If they hide, search them out and execute them. They are, by nature, dangerous sub-humans who have developed clever ways to cheat, lie and steal from others. Remember that no Jew has ever done an honest day's work in his or her life. Hence, they represent the ultimate parasite.

More JEWISH "We've Been Wronged" Crap -- From the "Fashion World" No Less!

From the NSP News Service: When will this Judenscheiss end? Of course, the NSP recognizes that "reverse discrimination" is a cultural commonplace these days, and is probably worse in many European nations than in the U.S. But anybody who fires an employee for some "antisemitic" comments has "a lot of crust!" One apparently can't "diss" a Jew or a negro, but if you are, say, of Danish extraction, there is no penalty for being called a "square head." Either the "rules" should work for all, or they should be erased completely! But, as Dr. Jacques Pluss, NSP Leader, states "don't ever imagine that a Jew will be able to forgive or forget a damn thing when he or she feels 'wronged'. Incidents in my own life these past two years just serve to prove my point."

 

Fired for anti-Semitic remarks in 2011, John Galliano sues Dior

Benoit Tessier / Reuters

British designer John Galliano, who is suing French fashion house Dior, appears at the end of his Spring/Summer 2011 fashion show for the label in Paris on January 24, 2011.

By Alexandria Sage, Reuters

Fashion designer John Galliano, fired from French couture house Dior in 2011 after an anti-Semitic outburst in public, has begun wrongful dismissal proceedings against his former employer.
Galliano, a talented and theatrical designer once at the top of the fashion world, will argue that he was fired "without real and serious cause," his lawyer, Chantal Giraud-van Gaver, told Reuters.
Earlier this week, a Paris labor court ruled that it had the right to hear the case. Dior, part of luxury goods group LVMH, will have two weeks to accept or contest that decision.
The court will not hear the case before October or November, Giraud-van Gaver added.
The once-stellar career of Galliano, 52, went south after the British designer was caught on camera making anti-Semitic remarks in a Paris cafe in 2011. A French court handed out a 6,000-euro ($8,100) suspended fine to Galliano in 2011 after he was found guilty of anti-Semitic behavior.
He has since apologized and last month issued a statement in which he said he has been in recovery from alcoholism for the past two years.
In January, Galliano did a three-week residency with Oscar de la Renta's New York studio before New York Fashion Week.
Giraud-van Gaver disputed that her client was seeking 15 million euros in damages, as some media have reported. She said Galliano was seeking damages, but would not specify a number.
LVMH have declined to comment on the case.

Third Reich Cheers for Dr. Goebbel's Grandchildren!

From the NSP News Service: While the story of Dr. Josef Goebbels' step-son Harald's wealth sounds unfamiliar to most Americans, the billionaire Quandt family is "no secret" in Germany -- and most of Europe. The "low profile" noted below is not an unusual one for many very wealthy people to assume, at least in nations other than America, where crass display of any amount of money is considered to be in "good taste." Thank goodness that some "Nazi Wealth" has not been lost, stolen by Jews, or robbed by "Allied" post-war leaders! May the descendants of Dr. Goebbels continue to thrive. And may Jewish propaganda meant to defame these honest business-people fall into the sea along with the pseudo-state of Israel itself!

Nazi Goebbels’ Step-Grandchildren Are Hidden Billionaires

           

In the spring of 1945, Harald Quandt, a 23-year-old officer in the German Luftwaffe, was being held as a prisoner of war by Allied forces in the Libyan port city of Benghazi when he received a farewell letter from his mother, Magda Goebbels -- the wife of Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.

The hand-written note confirmed the devastating news he had heard weeks earlier: His mother had committed suicide with her husband on May 1, after slipping their six children cyanide capsules in Adolf Hitler’s underground bunker in Berlin.

“My dear son! By now we’ve been in the Fuehrerbunker for six days already, Daddy, your six little siblings and I, to give our national socialistic lives the only possible, honorable ending,” she wrote. “Harald, dear son, I want to give you what I learned in life: Be loyal! Loyal to yourself, loyal to the people and loyal to your country!”

Quandt was released from captivity in 1947. Seven years later, he and his half-brother Herbert -- Harald was the only remaining child from Magda Goebbels’ first marriage -- would inherit the industrial empire built by their father, Guenther Quandt, which had produced Mauser firearms and anti-aircraft missiles for the Third Reich’s war machine. Among their most valuable assets at the time was a stake in car manufacturer Daimler AG. (DAI) They bought a part of Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (BMW) a few years later.

Lower Profile

While the half-brothers passed away decades ago, their legacy has endured. Herbert’s widow, Johanna Quandt, 86, and their children Susanne Klatten and Stefan Quandt, have remained in the public eye as BMW’s dominant shareholders. The billionaire daughters of Harald Quandt -- Katarina Geller-Herr, 61, Gabriele Quandt, 60, Anette-Angelika May-Thies, 58, and 50-year-old Colleen-Bettina Rosenblat-Mo -- have kept a lower profile.

The four sisters inherited about 1.5 billion deutsche marks ($760 million) after the death of their mother, Inge, in 1978, according to the family’s sanctioned biography, “Die Quandts.” They manage their wealth through the Harald Quandt Holding GmbH, a Bad Homburg, Germany-based family investment company and trust named after their father. Fritz Becker, the chief executive officer of the family entities, said the siblings realized average annual returns above 7 percent from its founding in 1981 through 1996. Since then, the returns have averaged 7.6 percent.

“The family wants to stay private and that is an acceptable situation for me,” said Becker in an interview at his Bad Homburg office. “We invest our money globally and if it’s $1 billion, $500 million or $3 billion, who cares?”

Wartime Profits

Together, the four sisters -- and the two children of a deceased sibling -- share a fortune worth at least $6 billion, giving each of them a net worth of $1.2 billion. They have never appeared individually as billionaires on an international wealth ranking.

Becker declined to provide the exact figure the holding manages for the four sisters. The siblings declined to comment for this account, said Ralf-Dieter Brunowsky, a spokesman for the family investment company, in an e-mail. He said the net worth calculation was “too high,” declining to be more specific.

The rise of the Quandt family fortune shares the same trajectory as Germany’s quest for global domination in the 20th century. It began in 1883, when Emil Quandt acquired a textile company owned by his late father-in-law. At the turn of the century, Emil passed the business to his eldest son, Guenther.

The younger Quandt saw an opportunity with the onset of war in 1914. His factories, already one of the biggest clothing manufacturers for the German state, quadrupled their weekly uniform production for the army, according to “Die Quandts.”

Weapons Production

After Germany’s surrender four years later, Quandt put the company’s wartime profits to use. In 1922, he bought a majority stake in Accumulatoren-Fabrik AG (AFA), a Hagen-based battery manufacturer. Six years later, he took over Berlin-Karlsruher Industriewerken AG (BKIW), a Berlin-based manufacturer that made sewing machines and silverware. The factory, once one of Germany’s largest weapon producers, had been forced to retool as part of the country’s disarmament agreement.

“The Quandts' business grew in the Kaiserreich, it grew during the Weimar Republic, it grew during the Second World War and it grew strongly after the war,” Rudiger Jungbluth, author of “Die Quandts,” said in an interview at a Bavarian restaurant in Hamburg last November.

Nazi Connections

In 1918, Guenther Quandt’s first wife died of the Spanish flu, leaving him a widower with two young sons, Hellmut and Herbert. He married Magda Ritschel in 1921, and the couple’s only son, Harald, was born later that year. Hellmut died in 1927, from complications related to appendicitis.

Quandt and Magda divorced in 1929. Two years later, she married Joseph Goebbels, a member of the German parliament who also held a doctorate degree in drama and served as head of propaganda for Germany’s growing Nazi party. After the Nazis took power in 1933, their leader, Adolf Hitler, appointed Goebbels as the Third Reich’s propaganda minister. Hitler was the best man at the couple’s wedding.

Guenther Quandt joined the party that same year. His factories became key suppliers to the German war effort, even though his relationship with Goebbels had become increasingly strained.

“There was constant rivalry,” said Bonn-based history professor Joachim Scholtyseck, author of a family-commissioned study about their involvement with the Third Reich, in a telephone interview. “It didn’t matter that Goebbels didn’t like him. It didn’t have any influence on Quandt’s ability to make money.”

Forced Labor

In 1937, he earned the title of Wehrwirtschaftsfuehrer, the name given to members of an elite group of businessmen who were deemed beneficial to the production of war materials for the Third Reich. During the war, Quandt’s AFA manufactured batteries for U-Boat submarines and V-2 rocket launchers. His BKIW --which had been renamed Deutsche Waffen-und Munitionsfabriken AG in 1936 -- produced Mauser firearms, ammunition and anti-aircraft missiles.

“He was one of the leading industrialists in the Third Reich and the Second World War,” Scholtyseck said. “He always kept a very low profile.”

From 1940 to 1945, the Quandt family factories were staffed with more than 50,000 forced civilian laborers, prisoners of war and concentration camp workers, according to Scholtyseck’s 1,183-page study. The report was commissioned by the family in 2007 after German television aired the documentary “The Silence of the Quandts,” a critical look at their wartime activities.

Released in September 2011, the study also found that Quandt appropriated assets from Jewish company owners and that his son Herbert had planned building an AFA factory in which slave laborers would be deployed.

Army Volunteer

“Guenther Quandt didn’t have a Nazi-kind of thinking,” said Jungbluth, the family biographer. “He was looking for any opportunity to expand his personal empire.”

Quandt’s youngest son, Harald, lived with his mother, Goebbels and six half-siblings. In 1939, he joined the German army after the country’s invasion of Poland, volunteering for the army’s paratrooper unit one year later.

During the war, Harald was deployed in Greece, France and Russia, before being shot and captured in Italy in 1944, and taken to the British Army-run POW camp in Benghazi where he received his mother’s farewell letter.

His stepfather also sent him a goodbye note.

“It’s likely that you’ll be the only one to remain who can continue the tradition of our family,” wrote Goebbels, who served as Chancellor of Germany for one day following Hitler’s suicide on April 30, 1945.

Denazification Hearings

After the war, Guenther Quandt served in an internment camp in Moosburg an der Isar for more than a year, before being judged a “Mitlaeufer” -- a Nazi follower who wasn’t formally involved in the regime’s crimes -- in denazification hearings in 1948. No repercussions followed.

“He was lucky that he wasn’t as prominent as someone like Flick or Krupp,” said Scholtyseck, referring to the German industrialists Friedrich Flick and Alfried Krupp, who were sentenced to prison terms at the Nuremberg war crimes trials.

Guenther died in 1954 while vacationing in Cairo, leaving his business empire equally in the hands of his two surviving sons, Harald and Herbert. Most notably, the assets included ownership of AFA and Deutsche Waffen-und Munitionsfabriken -- renamed Industrie-Werke Karlsruhe AG after the war -- and stakes in Daimler-Benz and potash miner Wintershall AG.

Sovereign Wealth

Herbert managed the stakes in the battery, car and potash firm, while Harald oversaw the interests in the industrial companies, according to Jungbluth’s biography.

Over the next decade, the brothers increased their stake in Daimler; Herbert saved BMW from collapse in the 1960s after becoming its largest shareholder and backing the development of new models.

 

Harald died in 1967, at age 45, in an airplane crash outside Turin, Italy. The relationship between his widow, Inge, and Herbert deteriorated after his death. Negotiations to settle the estate by separating assets commenced in 1970.
The most valuable asset that the Harald Quandt heirs received was four-fifths of a 14 percent stake in Daimler, according to the biography. In 1974, the entire stake was sold to the Kuwait Investment Authority, the country’s sovereign wealth fund, for about 1 billion deutsche marks, according to a Daimler-Benz publication from 1986 celebrating its centennial.
Inge Quandt, who suffered from depression, died of a heart attack on Christmas Eve 1978. Her new husband, Hans-Hilman von Halem, shot himself in the head two days later. The five orphaned daughters, two of them teenagers, were left to split the family fortune.

Family Meetings

The estate’s trustees had started overseeing the daughters’ money in 1974. An active investment approach commenced with the founding of the family investment company in 1981.
“It’s different if you work for a family than a corporation,” said Becker. “You can really invest instead of fulfilling regulation requirements.”
According to “Die Quandts,” the siblings try to get together a few times a year to discuss their investments. Gabriele Quandt lives in Munich. After earning a master’s degree in business administration at Insead in Fontainebleau, France, she married German publishing heir Florian Langenscheidt, with whom she had two sons. The couple divorced in 2008.
Katarina Geller-Herr owns Gestuet Waeldershausen, an equestrian center in Homberg (Ohm), Germany. She sponsored Lars Nieberg, a two-time Olympic gold medalist in show jumping.

Jewish Conversion

Colleen-Bettina Rosenblat-Mo is a jewelry designer who runs a studio and showroom in Hamburg. She converted to Judaism in New York at age 24. Her first marriage was to Michael Rosenblat, a German-Jewish businessman, whose father survived a concentration camp. The couple divorced in 1997. She remarried Frode Mo, a Norwegian journalist.
“We live with both religions and also celebrate Christmas,” Rosenblat-Mo said in “Die Quandts.”
Anette-Angelika May-Thies lives in Hamburg, according to the Harald Quandt Holding shareholders list filed with the German federal trade registry. Her first marriage was to Axel May, a Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) international adviser for private banking, who managed the family’s investments for about 25 years.
The siblings are also majority owners and investors in five financial services companies, all of which pay dividends, according to Becker. The firms were founded to manage the sisters’ wealth and subsequently opened up to third parties.

Private Equity

The six companies combined manage $18 billion in assets, according to the family investment company’s website. Becker said the majority of the money controlled by these firms is invested for third parties. One-fifth of the family fortune is managed by trustees for the two children of the youngest Quandt sibling, Patricia Halterman, who died in July 2005, four days before turning 38. Her townhouse on the Upper East Side of New York City sold for $37.5 million in 2008.
Auda International LP serves as the sisters’ New York-based private-equity unit. It manages almost $5 billion and was founded as their U.S. office in 1989, said Becker. Real Estate Capital Partners LP started the same year and has invested about $9 billion in real estate, according to its website. Both companies are owned through HQFS LP, an offshore entity based in the Cayman Islands.

Family Fortunes

In Bad Homburg, HQ Trust GmbH serves as a investment management company for about 30 families with fortunes ranging from 50 million euros to 500 million euros. Equita Management GmbH invests in small and mid-cap companies in Austria, Switzerland and Germany. HQ Advisor GmbH provides accounting and controlling services.
Only one sister, Gabriele, carries the family name, and none are active in the day-to-day business of the family office, said Becker.
Their uncle, Herbert Quandt, died in 1982. His fortune was divided between six children from three different marriages. BMW, his most valuable asset, was inherited by his third wife Johanna Quandt and their children, Stefan Quandt, 46, and Susanne Klatten, 50. The three billionaires hold 46.7 percent of the Munich-based car producer, according to the company’s 2011 annual report.
After Scholtyseck’s study was published in 2011, cousins Gabriele and Stefan Quandt acknowledged their family’s ties and involvement with the Third Reich in an interview with Germany’s Die Zeit newspaper.

‘Sad Truth’

“Magda killed her six children in the Fuehrerbunker. Our father loved his half-siblings very much. And when, like me, you have something like this in your family history, you think: It can’t be any worse,” Gabriele Quandt said in the interview. “It’s a sad truth that forced laborers died in Quandt companies,” said Stefan.
The acknowledgment didn’t prompt a public distancing from the men that made their family Germany’s richest. The families’ offices in Bad Homburg are named after Guenther and Harald Quandt, and the Herbert Quandt media prize of 50,000 euros is awarded annually to German journalists.
“They have to live with the name. It’s part of the history,” said Scholtyseck. “It will be a constant reminder of dictatorship and the challenges that families have to face.”
