Zionism as a Tool for
the Final Solution
Zionism was considered by the Nazis as a tool for the final solution.
Zionism can be used by the precise enemies of the Jews for concentrating the Jews and then destroy them.
It has been tried in palestine, Madagascar and Uganda.
Today the only place they can expect to concentrate us is Israel.
1905 Winter Adolf Josef Lanz, alias Dr. Jorg Lanz-Liebenfels, publishes the first issue of Ostara, a popular and vehemently racist, antisemitic magazine. This same year, Lanz publishes the fundamental statement of his doctrine, entitled: Theo-Zoology or the Lore of the Sodom-Apelings and the Electron of the Gods. Lanz's specific recommendations for the disposal of so-called racial inferiors included deportation to Madagascar, enslavement, incineration as a sacrifice to God, and forced labor as beasts of burden.
(Note: After Hitler came to power in 1933, Madagascar was often suggested by the Nazis as a place for the deportation of the Jews. This odd choice seems to be a direct link to Lanz and his theories. Lanz published the first issue of Ostara at Graz, but it was henceforth published at Rodaun until mid 1913. It was then published at Moedling until 1917, when the first series (Ostara I) was discontinued. Ostara II was published for a brief time in 1922 at Magdeburg. Ostara III was published in Vienna from 1927 to 1931 sponsored by Johann Walthari Wolfl.
