”“Hitler’s Table Talk” Study Hour presents:   Carolyn Yeager and Ray Goodwin read and comment on the Sat. July 5th through July 15th, 1941 dinner table monologues by the German Fuehrer, as taken down by an adjutant and checked for accuracy by Martin Bormann. Some highlights from the program:

• Russians do not naturally incline toward a Western, Aryan type of organized state;
• Expansion into the East will create new tourist destinations reachable by autobahn;
• Moscow must disappear and Bolshevisim be exterminated;
• The dominion of natural law, no education in atheism, Christianity less tolerant than the ancient world;
• Moral law governs the actions of Germans, making them uniquely capable of a revolution in religion;
• Racial migrations, and “way of eating” is a typically racial characteristic;
• Stalin an extraordinary figure in history.

Carolyn Yeager and Ray Goodwin use their first program to introduce listeners  to some background information on this collection of what are basically after-lunch-or-supper monologues by Adolf Hitler in the company of his intimate circle.

• How trustworthy is this text, since Martin Bormann assigned two of his aides to take the notes during meals, then turn them over to him for “checking” and safekeeping;
• Why it is valuable to study this book;
• Questions about the translation and translators – for example, did Francois Genoud tamper with the parts about Christianity;
• Of those offended by this book, Christians are #1 on the list, complaining that it does not agree with Hitler’s “public record” of positive remarks about Christianity in earlier years;
• David Irving and Albert Speer both confirmed that these recorded talks are authentically Hitler; Richard Carrier disagrees;
• Next week we’ll begin reading the text.

“The International Jew” Study Hour presents: Carolyn Yeager and Hadding Scott read and comment on Chapter 35, ” ‘Jewish Rights’ Clash with American Rights.”

It is the Jews themselves that interject the religious element into the “Jewish Question.” Study of the record shows that the “rights” they demand can be summed up in the “right” to banish everything from their sight and hearing that even suggests Christianity or it’s Founder. Since 1906, with the creation of the American Jewish Committee, their demands increased in number and insistence. This chapter  details many of these demands, starting in 1899 and continuing to 1917, showing the large number of small points at which Jewish life conflicts with community life.
