| Summary: | Arthur Dinter was the leading Nazi spokesman on antisemitism in the early 1920s. His immensely popular novel The Sin Against the Blood (1918) presented a demonic picture of the Jew. He thought to create a new Germanic form of Christianity, cleansed of all Jewish influence, which involved a complete rejection of the Old Testament, as well as the aryanization of Jesus. His religious activities led to a conflict with Hitler and resulted in his being thrown out of the Nazi party and silenced. Though opposed to a ‘physical’ solution of the Jewish question he was decisive in defining the Nazi image of the Jew. |
