Such statements, a part of his defense, can hardly be evidence for the origins of the Nazi ideology through direct appropriation of Judaic principles.
Nowhere did I write that the racial ideology of National Socialism was
directly appropriated from Judaic principles.
What did write was that the National Socialist ideology about Jews as a race distinct from all other European races was the mirror image of Judaic ideology, which divided humanity into two separate groups, Jews and Gentile. National Socialist ideology posited exactly the same division, but reversed, in that whereas Judaic ideology preached that the Jews were chosen by God and hence morally superior, while the Gentiles were rejected by God and hence morally inferior, National Socialist ideology preached that it was the Jews who were morally inferior and evil.
Of course the creators of National Socialist ideology did not read Judaic ideological texts and adopt the concepts in them in a reverse form. Rather, National Socialist ideology about the Jews as a separate race, indeed a sort of "anti-race", was derived from a long European tradition which goes right back to the Ancient Greeks and Romans, who had become aware of the Judaic ideological hostility toward the Gentiles, and for that reason regarded the Jews as enemies of the Human race, as infected with "hatred of the Human race" (in Latin "odium generis humanae"). The Greek and Roman attitude toward the Jews was absorbed into Christian ideology, which taught that the Jews had lost their "chosen" status because of their refusal to accept Jesus Nazarenus as the Son Of God, and were hence rejected by God (although it also taught that they could regain God's favour by accepting Jesus).
The concept of the Jews as the "tribe accursed" was not invented by National Socialist ideologists in the 20th Century, but had existed for centuries among the peoples who were the heirs of Greco-Roman civilisation. For example, that very phrase occurs in Longfellow's poem "Hiawatha".
"Then the Black-Robe chief, the Prophet,
Told his message to the people,
Told the purport of his mission,
Told them of the Virgin Mary,
And her blessed Son, the Saviour,
How in distant lands and ages
He had lived on earth as we do;
How he fasted, prayed, and labored;
How
the Jews, the tribe accursed,
Mocked him, scourged him, crucified him;"
The crucial point is that the European concept of the Jews as the "tribe accursed", inherited from Greco-Roman civilisation, is simply the reverse of the Judaic concept of the Jews as the "Chosen People". After all, it was not as if the European peoples conspired together to separate themselves from the Jews rather it was the Jews who first drew the line separating themselves from the Gentiles.
