(chants) = Sh'ma, IsraeI,...
1:17:12
- = ..Adonai eIoheinu, Adonai echad =
- What is this?

1:17:19
- Does anyone know what that is?
- A Jewish prayer.

1:17:22
A Jewish prayer. Do you have any idea
why l would say a Jewish prayer?

1:17:28
- Because you're a Jew!
- (laughter)

1:17:31
That could be one reason. What's another?
1:17:35
Let me put it this way.
1:17:38
Who wants to destroy the Jews?
1:17:40
(murmuring)
1:17:41
Who wants to grind their bones
into the dust?

1:17:45
And who wants to see them rise again?
1:17:48
Wealthier, more successful, powerful,
cultured, more intelligent than ever?

1:17:54
Then you know what we have to do?
1:18:00
We have to love 'em.
1:18:02
What? Did he say ''Love the Jews''?
lt's strange, l know.

1:18:07

but it's not true.

1:18:18
- (laughter)
- He wants to be hated.

1:18:21
He longs for our scorn.
1:18:23
He clings to it,
as if it were the very core of his being.

1:18:28
lf Hitler had not existed,
the Jews would've invented him.

1:18:33
For without such hatred, the so-called
Chosen People would vanish from the earth.

1:18:39
And this reveals a terrible truth
and the crux of our problem as Nazis.

1:18:43
The worse the Jews are treated,
the stronger they become.

1:18:47
Egyptian slavery made them a nation.
1:18:50
The pogroms hardened them.
Auschwitz gave birth to the state of lsrael.

1:18:54
Suffering, it seems,
is the very crucible of their genius.

1:18:57
So, if the Jews are,
as one of their own has said,...
