From the day of the seizure of power
(Jan. 30, 1933) to Jan. 1, 1943 the excess of deaths of the Jews in the
Altreich with the Sudetenland was 61 693; this represents the result of 14 921
births and 76 114 deaths. The emigration on the one hand and lack of data on
the number of deaths in concentration camps in the figures provided by the
Reich Jewish Union on the other leave room for many errors, however, despite
the decrease in the Jewish population a cursory examination is enough to
recognize the relatively constant Jewish death rate. That would give us a
Jewish mortality rate of 80 85 per 1000 (compared to the average European
mortality rate of 10 to 15 per 1000) in 1942.
Moreover, the decrease of
births is noticeable and is far ahead of the decrease in the Jewish population.
The birth rate for the Jews in the Altreich would only be approximately 2 1/2
per 1000 in 1942 according to these calculations. Similarly in Ostmark between
Mar.3, 1938 and Jan. l, 1943 there were 15 188 Jewish deaths as opposed to 679
births. Finally in the Altreich there were only 14 Jewish children horn in Dec.
1942 and in Jan. and Feb. of 1943 only 7 and 8 respectively. It must be taken
into consideration that Jewry has had a low birth rate in the civilized Western
countries for decades, as shown by the denominational birth statistics. The Jew
Felix Theilhaber pointe to the "fall of the German Jew" in 1911 which was only
kept in balance by the constant resupplying of East Jewish blood. This
phenomenon was only partly due to the ageing of Jews in major cities, mainly it
was a result of the real weakness of the Jewish race.
The age structure of
the Jewish population must be taken into consideration when trying to
understand the extraordinarily high Jewish death rate and their low birth rate.
After their long wandering the German Jews are composed mainly of the aged so
that their age distribution represented graphically resembles a "club" in the
words of the Reich Jewish Union, which is also objectively the case. Children
and people in their fertile years are missing while the aged comprise not only
a greater proportional part of the population but also a numerically greater
part of the population. This is also the cause of the high suicide rate among
the Jews since suicide is primarily prevalent among the aged.
