I am a Christian when I believe that the meaning of my life is the heavy responsibility to love my neighbor as myself. ...”, Joseph Goebbels, January 9, 1928.


 * “... The child whose birthday we will soon celebrate came into the world to bring love. But Christ the man learned that one cannot always get by with love. When he saw the Jewish moneychangers in the temple, he took a whip and drove them out of the temple. ...”, Joseph Goebbels, Der Angriff, December 10, 1928.


 * “Christ is the genius of love and as such the most diametric antipole to Jewry, which is the incarnation of hate. … Christ was the first anti-Jewish opponent of stature. … The Jew is the lie that became flesh. He nailed Christ to the cross, and thus for the first time in history nailed the eternal truth to the cross.”, Joseph Goebbels, Michael: Ein deutsches Schicksal in Tagebuchblättern, 1929.
