We swear we are not going to abandon the struggle until the Last Jew in Europe has been exterminated and is actually dead. It is not enough to isolate the Jewish enemy of mankind - the Jew has got to be exterminated!

A leader who loses his connection to his people soon loses the ability to lead them.

All the learning in the world cannot replace instinct.
