Der Judenhetzer – Julius Streicher und der "Stürmer"

Even high Nazi leaders like Joseph Goebbels and Hermann Göring were almost contemptuous of this party comrad, and yet he was one of the most influential figures in the Third Reich: Julius Streicher, publisher of the anti-Semitic weekly "Der Stürmer", responsible for the worst propaganda and infamous for his corrupt and violent regime as Gauleiter of Franconia. By the Allies he was considered a symbol of Nazi hatred of the Jews. In 1946 he was sentenced to death in Nuremberg and executed. On the occasion of the 62nd anniversary of the "Reichspogromnacht 1938" on November 9th, SPIEGEL TV author Michael Kloft set off in the footsteps of Julius Streicher and examined the true meaning of the Hetzblatt "Der Stürmer".
