Friedrich von Hellwald
historiador e geografo austríaco
Friedrich von Hellwald (29 de março de 1842, Pádua, Itália – 1 de novembro de 1892, Cannstatt, Alemanha) foi um historiador e geógrafo austríaco.
- "Os judeus não são meramente uma comunidade religiosa diferente, mas – e este é para nós o fator mais importante – etnicamente uma raça completamente diferente. O europeu sente instintivamente que o judeu é um estrangeiro que imigrou da Ásia. O chamado preconceito é um sentimento natural. A civilização superará a antipatia contra o israelita que meramente professa outra religião, mas nunca contra o judeu racialmente diferente. O judeu é cosmopolita e possui uma certa astúcia que o torna o mestre do ariano honesto. Na Europa Oriental, o judeu é o câncer que lentamente consome a carne das outras nações. A exploração do povo é seu único objetivo. Egoísmo e falta de coragem pessoal são suas principais características; o auto-sacrifício e o patriotismo são totalmente estranhos para ele".
- - The Jews are not merely a different religious community but — and this is to us the most important factor — ethnically an altogether different race. The European feels instinctively that the Jew is a stranger who immigrated from Asia. The so-called prejudice is a natural sentiment. Civilization will overcome the antipathy against the Israelite who merely professes another religion, but never against the racially different Jew. The Jew is cosmopolitan, and possesses a certain astuteness which makes him the master of the honest Aryan. In Eastern Europe, the Jew is the cancer slowly eating into the flesh of the other nations. Exploitation of the people is his only aim. Selfishness and lack of personal courage are his chief characteristics; self-sacrifice and patriotism are altogether foreign to him.
