PARTIAL TRANSLATION OF DOCUMENT 2349-PS

THE MYTH OF THE 20TH CENTURY by Alfred Rosenberg

Published by Hoheneichen Publishing House, Muenchen 1941.

[Page 215]

We recognize today that the central maximum values of the Roman and the Protestant Church as negative Christianity do not correspond to our soul, that they are in the way of the organic forces of the Nordic racially determined peoples, must give way to them (these forces), and must let themselves be re-evaluated in the sense of a Germanic Christianity. That is the thought behind today's religious searching.

[Page 514]

The idea of honor-national honor-is for us the beginning and end of our entire thinking and doing. It does not admit of any equal-valued center of force alongside of it, no matter of what kind. neither Christian love, nor the Free-Masonic humanity, nor the Roman philosophy.

[Page 608]

A German religious movement which would like to develop into a folk-church will have to declare that the idea of neighborly love is unconditionally to be subordinated to the idea of national honor, that no act of a German church may be approved which does not primarily serve the safeguarding of the folkdom.

[Page 616]

A German religion will, bit by bit, present in the churches transferred to it, in place of the crucifixion the spirit of fire- the heroic-in the highest sense.
