Germans and the Final Solution by Ian Kershaw, reveals that from the very onset

Jews) and, when they returned on leave, the soldiers spoke of the murders in
private and in public. News of Auschwitz reached Victor Klemperer in March
1942 and he described it as a "swift-working slaughter house" by
October.

TV. "Who is it that is leading the world today in the vicious,
all-encompassing war against Islam and Muslims? It is the Jews who today
are leading the all-encompassing war against Muslims... We, the Muslims, know
the nature of Jews the best, because the Holy Quran taught us. The prophetic
traditions explained at length to Muslims the true nature of Jews... Their war
and their hatred for Muhammad and Islam is in their souls, they are naturally
disposed to it." The sermon cited "Protocols of the Elders of Zion",
called to annihilate Jews, and compared Jews to dogs. Video here

One of the oldest Jewish communities in
the Arab world is fighting for its survival. Yemeni Jews have been feeling
sometimes violent pressure from Yemeni Muslims and face an ambivalent govenrment
in a world where Islamic extremism and hostility to non-Muslims are on the
rise. "There is hardly a mosque sermon that's free of bigotry. The
government's own political rhetoric marginalizes the Jews, and civil society is
too weak to protect them", says
Mansour Hayel, a Muslim and human rights
activist who is considered an expert on Yemen's Jewry. "The government's
policies are to blame for the suffering of the Jews", he
says.
