Catechism of the Jew in the USSR

JEWS! Love one another, help one another! Help each other even if you hate each other!

Our strength lies in unity. Unity is the token of our success, and it is our salvation and our prosperity. any nation

perished after eco"ing dispersed, ecause they did not have a clear#cut progra""e of action or a feeling of

co"radeship. $ut %e, thanks to our feeling of collectivis", have gone on for centuries and have survived %hileliving a"ong other nations. We have re"ained intact, have "ultiplied and have gro%n stronger.

Unity is an o&ective, ut it is also a "eans of achieving an o&ective. 'his is the point. Unity is %hat "ust e

striven for. Everything else is derivative, and %ill co"e auto"atically.

Help one another, do not e afraid of eing regarded as nationalists, and do not e afraid of protectionis".

'his nationalis" of ours is our chief instru"ent. Our nationalis" is international, and that is %hy it is eternal. 'he%ay to%ards our nationalis" is open to Je%s of all nationalities, all deno"inations and all parties. 'he only true

internationalis" is that %hich is tied to the Je%s y links of lood. (ll other for"s of internationalis" are "erely

provocation and deceit. Operate on a roader scale in dra%ing to%ards yourselves people %ho are close to you yreason of their irth. Only they can provide you %ith the living environ"ent desired.

)or" your national groups of specialists. *roups of specialists are the Holy of Holies. Such groups decide

everything. 'oday+s specialist groups are our to"orro%. Every laoratory, every university depart"ent and every

institute "ust eco"e the place %here our national groups of specialists are created.

repare young Je%ish people for the task of continuing the tradition of for"er generations. Let every generation o

*entiles conflict %ith our syste" of defence in depth. Every ti"e the older generation disappears fro" the scene, i

"ust e replaced y an even "ore po%erful cohort of young Je%s %ho have een given the right training at the

proper ti"e and have eco"e strong as a result.

'o achieve this, our young people "ust e pro"oted to positions of leadership as early as possile on the grounds

that they are "ature and rilliant. Even if this is not yet true, they %ill "ature on the &o.

He who is in power is in the right

HE WHO -S - OWE/ -S - 'HE /-*H'. We "ust pass on to our children "ore than %e received fro" our

fathers, and our children, after preserving %hat they have received and adding to it, %ill in turn pass it on to theiroffspring. 0ontinuity fro" generation to generation is our strength, our staility and our i""ortality.

The world is cruel, and there is no place in it for philanthropy

The world is cruel, and there is no place in it for philanthropy.Every nation is the creator of its o%n happines

-t is not our usiness to %orry aout /ussian national groups of specialists. -f they do not think aout the"selves,%hy should %e think aout the"1 2o not follo% the e3a"ple of the /ussians and the (ras, %ho live

conte"platively, hoping that an off#chance "ay arise. 2o not e3pect any favours fro" nature # our task is to take

the favours ourselves.

Create your own groups and use these groups to throw out the Gentiles

0reate your o%n groups and use these groups to thro% out the *entiles. /e"e"er4 all highly paid, influential andprofitale &os are our national inco"e.

/e"e"er that every *entile %ho has reached our level can occupy a post %hich "ight have elonged to each on

of us.

We create our groups so that goys cannot prevent us fro" living the %ay %e %ant to. Let the goys try to create the

o%n groups. 'hey %ill scarcely succeed in this, and they %ill fall out %ith one another efore they "anage to

achieve anything. We shall help the" in that.

'he /ussians are ostinate, ut they are not persistent enough %hen it co"es to attaining an o&ective. 'hey are

la:y, and that is %hey they are al%ays in a hurry. 'hey try to solve all prole"s at a stroke. 'hey sacrifice s"allthings for the sake of the "a&or, decisive task of %inning a victory. $ut that victory either does not co"e at all, or

else, having %on the victory, they are no etter off than efore.

%e profess the tactics of small "ictories, although we do not ob&ect to large "ictories. a small "ictory is also

"ictory'

'he /ussians neither kno% ho% to lead, nor ho% to su"it. 'hey are saoteurs y reason of their genetic "akeup

'he /ussians are envious, and they hate their colleagues, if the latter rise aove the grey "asses of the people.

*ive the" the chance to tear to pieces these colleagues %ho have een pro"oted, and they %ill tear hi" to pieces

%ith pleasure.

Je%s! (l%ays act as aritrators, adopt the posture of eing peace"akers, defend the ;unhappy people; against%ho" the cro%d is up in ar"s, ut only inas"uch as to gain a reputation as a generous, o&ective person.

With a little patience, you %ill take over the position of the person %ho" a short %hile ago you tore to pieces.

%hen two russians fight one another, the winner is a Jew

When t%o russians fight one another, a Je% is the %inner.

Set the Russians against one another,provoke in the" envy to%ards one another. (l%ays do this i"perceptily

and sutly, operating under a cover of enevolence. Let the" fight a"ong the"selves. 6ou %ill al%ays e the

aritrator.

/ussians do not kno% ho% to live, or ho% to set goals. We create the ephe"eral tasks for the", and they try to

carry out those tasks.

!"ery humiliation is a blessing if it produces an ad"antage

'he /ussians do not kno% ho% to ask for so"ething, regarding it as hu"iliating to do so, even though they are

hu"iliated and poor as it stands.

We say4 ;Every hu"iliation is a lessing if it produces an advantage.; One can hu"iliate oneself in order toachieve a goal, and it is possile to hu"iliate oneself %ith dignity.

(othing is immoral ... The end illuminates the means

othing is i""oral if it assists our people to eco"e %ell#estalished and prosperous. The end illuminates the

means.

The Russians are stupid and coarse. They refer to their stupidity and coarseness as honesty

'he /ussians are stupid and coarse. 'hey refer to their stupidity and coarseness as honesty, decency and %ell#

principled ehaviour.

'heir inaility to adapt and change their ehaviour so as to suit the situation, and their lack of any "ental

fle3iility, are descried y the" as ;eing true to the"selves,; as ;adherence to principle;.

Goys are so stupid and coarse that they do not e"en now how to lie


4/10

*oys are so stupid and coarse that they do not even kno% ho% to lie. (gain, they call their pri"itiveness and

stupidity honesty and decency, although they are y nature "endacious and dishonest.

-n ancient ti"es the goys referred to their characteristically pri"itive ehaviour as ararity, in the iddle (ges

they ter"ed it chivalry, and later they called it gentle"anly conduct. 'hey co""itted suicide out of e"pty

principles. )et them continue to do so'

'hey are constricted in their ailities, and for this reason they set li"its to everything.

$ut %e say4 ;an+s possiilities are unli"ited, ecause "an ehaves in accordance %ith circu"stances!;

Spea and act in a way which their morality and their concepts do not permit

(l%ays re"e"er the li"its %hich goys set for the"selves. 'heir thinking has stagnated %ithin these li"its, and

they are unale to go eyond the". 'herein lies their "isfortune and our advantage.

Speak and act in a %ay %hich their "orality and their concepts do not per"it. 2o things %hich see" to the" to e

i"possile and incredile. 'hey %ill not elieve that you are capale of %ords and actions of %hich they are not

capale.

Speak and act in a %ay %hich is confident, energetic, aggressive, discouraging and stunning. roduce "ore noiseand oral tru"pery, and say "ore things %hich are inco"prehensile and pseudo#scientific.

Create theories, hypotheses, tendencies, schools, practicable and impracticable methods. The more

e*tra"agant, the better'

2o not other aout these theories eing useless, or ecause they %ill have to e forgotten aout y to"orro%. (ne% day, and %ith it ne% ideas, %ill co"e. -t is here that our self#assertion, our superiority, and the po%er of our

spirit, all find e3pression.

)et the goys bear the brunt of the ideas we float

Let the goys ear the runt of the ideas %e float. Let the" rack their rains looking for any grains of rationality in

our ideas, and let the" seek and find in our ideas things %hich are not there. 'o"orro% %e shall give their

pri"itive rains so"e ne% food to che% on.

-t does not "atter %hat you say. What "atters is ho% you say it. 6our self#confidence %ill e perceived as

conviction, your a"ition %ill e thought to e loftiness of "ind, and your "anner of preaching and putting peop

right %ill e regarded as superiority.

Twist their brains, and wor the goys up into a ner"ous state

'%ist their rains, and %ork the" up into a nervous state! Suppress the %ill of those, %ho o&ect %hat you are

saying. lace the upstarts and a%lers in a co"pro"ising position, and stir up the pride of the cro%d against anysceptics.

-n your discussions and deates, use rhetorical "ethods %hich order on the indecent.

-f anyone douts %hat you are saying and o&ects to it, as him his surname, where he wors and what his &obis. This will usually shoc and intimidate them, and they will retreat.

2e"and replies, and %hen you have received the", say over and over again, %ithout analysing the essence of the

replies4 ;-t+s not like that, it+s not like that at all!;

-f so"e kno%#it#all tries to e3pose you, the others %ill not listen to hi" and %ill conde"n hi", ecause y

e3posing you he is proving the" guilty of stupidity, and the cro%d does not forgive this.

-f a /ussian tries to sho% his %orth and to attract attention to hi"self, you "ust create "ore sound effects at that

"o"ent, shuffle your feet, stand up and %alk aout, "ake creaking noises %ith the chairs, laugh, chatter, hu"

so"ething under your reath, cough and lo% your nose, and interrupt hi" y "aking speeches, conversing, tellin&okes, and the like.

Create for the Russians a mass of petty, annoying incon"eniences

0reate for the /ussians a "ass of petty, annoying inconveniences of %hich they are not i""ediately a%are.

lace your things on top of their elongings, tread on their feet, reathe in their faces, and talk in a provocatively

loud %ay. Let the" constantly feel your elo% in their side.

'he /ussians cannot endure this for long. 'o avoid any scandals, they %ill go a%ay, leaving the place free for you

to occupy...

'hey think it is particularly s"art to sla" the door and %alk a%ay. *ive the" the opportunity to do so!

+olite insolence is our watchword'

ccuse of antisemitism those who try to e*pose you

(ccuse of antise"itis" those %ho try to e3pose you. in the lael of ;antise"ite; on the", and you %ill see %ith

%hat pleasure the other goys %ill take up this version. On the %hole, all /ussians are antise"ites, ut as soon as

you pin this lael on one /ussian, he eco"es defenceless, ecause all the others %ill thro% hi" to us as a sacrific

and %ill destroy hi" %ith their o%n hands. (nd %e shall attach the stig"a to the ne3t victi".

lay on the soft#heartedness of the /ussians. ake yourselves out to e poor and unfortunate ones, arouseco"passion and sy"pathy for yourselves, spread the ru"ours aout the eternally suffering nation, aout

persecution in the past and discri"ination today.

The tactic of the poor Jew has been pro"ing its worth for thousands of years'

!"en if the Russians ha"e less than us, they will nonetheless help us to ha"e more.'he /ussians like eing

enefactors and guardians, and every eggar strives to e a enefactor, ecause that raises his status.

'he generosity of the /ussians increases in the sa"e "easure as their aility to put it into effect decreases. 'ake

fro" the" %hat they can give4 a "angy sheep %ill at least yield a tuft of %ool!

2istort all pheno"ena in the light of our interests. Every pheno"enon "ust, un9uestionaly, e considered fro"the point of vie% of the har" or enefit it produces for the Je%s!

#f you are older than them, accuse them of breaching the principle of respect for one5s elders. #f you are the
