DER STUERMER Edited by Julius Streicher Nürnberg, July 1938, Nr.' 28, vol. 16, Page 5.
The ritual' murder Jews slaughter [schaechten] men Whoever had the occasion, to be an eyewitness during the slaughtering of animals or to see at least a truthful film on the. slaughtering, will never forget this horrible experience. It is atrocious. And unwillingly, he is reminded of the crimes, which the Jews have committed for centuries on men. He will be reminded of the ritual murder. History points out hundreds of cases, in which non-Jewish children were tortured to death. They also were given the same incision through the throat, as is found on slaughtered animals. They also were slowly bled to death while fully conscious.
