Klemperer – May 1942
“I shall go on writing. That is my heroism. I will bear witness, precise witness!” — May 27, 1942
Klemperer – Feb. 1933
“I am not writing a history of the times here. But I shall nevertheless record my embitterment, greater than I would have imagined I was still capable of feeling. It is a disgrace, which gets worse with every day that … Continue reading
Klemperer – March 1933
“Hitler Chancellor. What, up to election Sunday on March 5, I called terror, was a mild prelude. Now the business of 1918 is being exactly repeated, only under a different sign, under the swastika. Again, it’s astounding how easily everything … Continue reading
Klemperer – March 1933
“The government is in hot water. “Atrocity propaganda” from abroad because of its Jewish campaign. It is constantly issuing official denials, there are no pogroms, and has Jewish associations issue refutations. But then it openly threatens to proceed against the … Continue reading
Klemperer – April 1933
“Every day new abominations. A Jewish lawyer in Chemnitz kidnapped and shot. ‘Provocateurs in SA uniform, common criminals.’ Provision of the Civil Service Law. Anyone who has one Jewish grandparent is a Jew. ‘In case of doubt the final decision … Continue reading

Klemperer – April 1933
“Notice on the Student House (likewise at all the universities): ‘When the Jew writes in German, he lies,’ henceforth he is to be allowed to write only in Hebrew. Jewish books must be characterized as ‘translations’. — I only note … Continue reading
Klemperer – July 1933
“We hear a lot about Palestine now; it does not appeal to us. Anyone who goes there exchanges nationalism and narrowness for nationalism and narrowness. Also it is a country for capitalists. It is about the size of the province … Continue reading
Klemperer – Aug. 1933
“I simply cannot believe that the mood of the masses is really still behind Hitler. Too many signs of the opposite. But everyone, literally everyone, cringes with fear. No letter, no telephone conversation, no word on the street is safe … Continue reading
Klemperer – Oct. 1933
“On top of that the growing tyranny, the growing misery and sinking hope of any foreseeable end. (Although the gnashing of teeth in the most diverse social strata is becoming ever more audible.) — Especially repugnant to us is the … Continue reading
