Historian fears Daily Mail used his website to traduce Ralph Miliband

On 10 July 1933, in a piece in the Daily Mail that excused “Nazi atrocities” as “a few isolated acts of violence”, Rothermere wrote:

“The German nation, moreover, was rapidly falling under the control of its alien elements. In the last days of the pre-Hitler regime there were twenty times as many Jewish government officials in Germany as had existed before the war.

Israelites of international attachments were insinuating themselves into key positions in the German administrative machine. Three German ministers only had direct relations with the press, but in each case the official responsible for conveying news and interpreting policy to the public was a Jew.”
