"The foreign conquerors come and go;
we obey, but we stop."
There can be no talk of cruel persecutions of the Jews by the tolerant Germanic conquerors. On the contrary, the Jews were often successful in gaining high positions of trust through their interpreting services and healing skills, through their business acumen, through their dexterity in procuring and exploiting the goods. But again and again they attracted the hatred of the people: through their arrogance and mockery of Christianity, through their slave trade and the keeping of Christian slaves, through their parasitic, exploitative activity.
The history of Spain, which was repeatedly celebrated by the Jews as their "second promised land", is especially instructive. Here, when the Visigoths conquered the country in the 5th century, they found many rich Jewish communities. And later, when the opposition between the Germanic "heretics" and the Roman (Welsh) Orthodox believers intensified, the Jews sided with the Goths in this dispute between the two Christian denominations and received great benefits in return. But with this their arrogance grew, and when in 586 the Gothic king Rekkared transferred to the Roman Catholic Church, the change began. First of all, old laws were renewed:
>Exclusion of Jews from public office,
>Prohibition of marriage between Christians and Jews,
>Prohibition of owning Christian slaves.

Puritanism and Enlightenment
Indeed, the various, conflicting English-Scottish churches and sects detached themselves from Rome; but they increasingly came under the influence of Judaism. Common to them is a preference for the Old Testament, which is particularly evident among the Puritans. Like the Jews, the Anglicans and Scots sought and continue to seek to regulate and rationalize all of life through strict laws; the Jewish Sabbath celebration was mirrored in the narrow-minded sanctification of Sunday; a Christian pharisaism emerged. Against their will, the Puritans, through the rationalization and methodization of life, benefited capitalism. Around 1700, they awakened a fierce commercial and acquisitive drive within themselves that alarmed their clergy to the highest degree. A contemporary writes: "Not compelled by anyone, but rather as a result of an unforeseen and unexpected change in the spirit of the people, all their thoughts and inclinations are directed toward business, as if they were being gathered and guided by a higher power."
It began the peculiar balance between a displayed piety and the unbridled greed for money, which is so unappealing to us Germans in the English and North Americans: "a powerful drive for acquisition under the ashes of an unheard-of bigotry."
1) Regarding Great Britain, Professor Kuhnemann states that, in its essence, it is "more a Jewish than a Christian power." There is a widely spread society in the Anglo-Saxon world that calls itself "Believers in Identity" because they believe that Britons and Israelites are "identical"; they claim that the Britons are the ten tribes separated from Judah after Solomon's death, the lost and found Israel. The same tendencies are represented by the influential Anglo-Israelite movement, which even infects the English royal family.

"Ghetto, Ghetto compulsion!" The German Michel is expected to feel the deepest sympathy for the "poor" Jews: for the (((eternally persecuted and oppressed Jews))), who have been crammed together in filthy Jewish quarters and narrow Jewish alleys, leading a life unworthy of human beings, defenseless and at the mercy of the whims and mockery of Christians.
Indeed, the life of the Jews in the 15th to 18th century was by no means enviable; but due to their own fault. For two and a half millennia, they have always lived as foreigners among other peoples and have had the stubborn will to remain foreigners. For two and a half millennia, their ghetto life has been as voluntary as their dispersal. The ghetto (the Jewish quarter) was something similar to today's foreign districts in the cities of China. I recall for antiquity once more Alexandria, Antioch, Rome. In the early Middle Ages, there was no ghetto compulsion anywhere; rather, the religious community and the professional guild brought the Jews together. The first walled ghetto in Germany, the Jewish quarter in Speyer (1084), was a privilege. Only towards the end of the Middle Ages did ghetto compulsion arise from voluntary separation, and even then the segregation was not strict; numerous exceptions are known, e.g., for court Jews and doctors.
This was still acknowledged a few years ago by the Jew Rathenau: "In close connection with each other, in strict isolation from the outside: thus they live in a semi-voluntary, invisible ghetto, not a living part of the people, but a foreign organism within its body."
