number. Thus in 1893 Leroy Beulieu estimated the loss
of Judaism to Christianity to be between for and ten times as great as the
present number of adherents to the Jewish religion. According to Maurice
Fishberg and Mathias Mieses, three times the present Jewish population have
been absorbed by Aryan Europe. Even Hans Günther estimates the Jewish
population of Germany at double the number of Jews of moasic faith with German
nationality. Finally, the Lithuanian Jew Brutzkus goes so far as to classify
the Berlin Jews on the basis of their blood composition as being purer
Europeans than the Germans in Berlin.
According to these opinions the
number of racial Jews in Europe including half breeds was assumed to be three
times as great as the number of religious Jews (in Eastern Europe twice as
great, in Middle Europe four times as great and in the rest of Europe as much
as eight times as great) and approximately 6% Jewish blood was calculated to be
in the European population. In contrast Burgdörfer estimates the Jewish
population of Germany in 1933 at 850 000 full, half and quarter Jews (based on
502 000 religious Jews) and the Jewish population of Austria in 1934 at between
300 000 and 400 000 (based on 191 481 religious Jews). The German census of the
racial Jews in 1939 lists the only slightly higher figure of 330 892 full 72
738 half and 42 811 quarter Jews with the figure 307 614 religious Jews. These
figures cannot be regarded as trustworthy , particularly in the case of the
half and quarter Jews. These figures can only be considered to represent
minimums. They originated as answers to a question appearing on a card to be
filled out for the German census of 1939 "Was or is one of your grandparents
Jewish?" This question was to be answered yes or no for each grandparent. Since
these cards were to be handed in in a sealed envelope and could not be examined
on the spot, they were filled out poorly. In many cases instead of an answer
there were only marks made in the corresponding boxes.
The first
official attempt to classify Jwes [sic] by race was immediately sabotaged by
the Jews. It occurred during the Austrian census of March 7, 1923.
Vicechancellor, Dr. Frank (Greater German Peoples' Party) signed a decree
shortly before the census, according to which question 7 (language) of the
census form was also to be answered by listing "ethic origins and race". Since
the census forms had already been printed this was only indicated on a red page
without any explanation, instructions or examples. The Austrian Jews sabotaged
this question in the Jweish [sic] Marxist press shortly before the census by
calling on its readers to answer the quetion [sic] about race "w h i t e". The
result was that the "white race in Austria was about as widespread as the
influence of the Jewish Marxist press and parties". Only in Kärnten and
Burgenland were the data analyzed with dubious results, whereas in the
remaining states, particularly in Vienna the project was abandoned as
pointless.

II. JEWISH STATISTICS IN GERMANY
|
|
The following material on the number and
development of Jews in Germany is based on the official census figures, on
similar statistical investigations of the Reich and on statistical calculations
and estimates. The material is however, mainly provided by the Reich Jewish
Union in Germany and the Jewish Religious Centers in Vienna and Prague which
deal with census forms and figures, population movement and extrapolation in
addition to calculations and estimates. These Jewish offices work under
