I read The Hiding Place as a teen and it had a profound effect on me. It’s hard to believe what is happening in our own country today. Thank you for writing this.

4. Only members of the nation may be citizens of the State. Only those of German blood, whatever their creed, may be members of the nation. Accordingly, no Jew may be a member of the nation.

8. All non-German immigration must be prevented. We demand that all non-Germans who entered Germany after 2 August 1914 shall be required to leave the Reich forthwith.

This was an incredible essay. I immediately went to buy that book, and cannot wait to read more about that incredible woman. Thank you for putting this together, and for highlighting the hypocrisy that is currently at an all time high in our country.
