Show iv " " ' TEACHING HATE If Our people have no coneption of the I way in which ideas of hate have been I systematically instilled into the German R people. It begins in early childhood. M&r Here is a copy of a song sung daily f. in the German schools: Mu "Over there in the cowardly trenches r v lies the enemy. We attack him, and ,011- R ly a dog will say that pardon should be 1 riven today. Strike dead everything I' which -prays for mercy. Shoot every- Mt thing down like dogs. 'More enemies, more enemies be your prayer in this K hour of retribution." HL ' What can you expect of a nation H taught from infancy to feel these pas- Urn sins of animosity? mW' The German government for many I; years propagated the idea that other - nations were .jealous or Germany and HSv likely to attack ner any time The Ger" K man mind before the war was obsessed .with this monomania.' So when the f; longed for day of attack came, the Ger- H man people had reached-the point where Hi they easily swallowed the lie that they Br,,. were attacked.
