      מיום עלותו לשלטון [של היטלר] הוא דן את העם העברי להרס ולכליה בכל מקום אשר ידו מגיעה, בהניפו את חרבו על כל העמים שוחרי החופש לא הרפה מהעם היהודי, שדמיו נשפכים שבעתיים במערכת ההרג וההרס, שהיטלר נושא לעולם.
      From the day of his rise to power he judged the Hebrew nation to distraction and annihilation in every place which his hand reaches, when he lift up his sword on all the freedom-loving nations he did not loosen his grip on the Hebrew nation, whose blood is being spilled many times over in the system of slaughter and distraction, that Hitler is delivering to the world.
