Supposedly from Herzl's diary:
“It is essential that the sufferings of Jews….become worse….this will assist in realization of our plans….I have an excellent idea….I shall induce anti-Semites to liquidate Jewish wealth….The anti-Semites will assist us thereby in that they will strengthen the persecution and oppression of Jews. The anti-Semites shall be our best friends.”
Barry Grossman, November 27, 2014,
"Actually despite the ellipses the quote is accurate, genuine and certainly not misleading. Here are the pertinent excerpts along with some other relevant quotes from a Hard copy of Herzl's diaries .
Here is a link to scanned pages from a hard copy of Theodor Herzl's Diaries and republished in in pdf format: //jodenhaat.nl/DagboekenHerzl.pdf.
I have to say that given the stated purpose of this site, I am more than a little surprised and disappointed in the off handed way some have implied the quote is invalid, fabricated or somehow a ruse by Nazi types.
All of these selected extracts can be found in the aforementioned pdf. That is, they are not culled from secondary sources.
"However, anti-Semitism, which is a strong and unconscious force among the masses, will not harm the Jews. I consider it to be a movement useful to the Jewish character. It represents the education of a group by the masses, and will perhaps lead to its being absorbed."
"To attract Jews to rural areas you would have to tell them some fairy-tale about how they may strike gold there."
"Let the cowardly, assimilated, baptized Jews remain. We shall benefit even them-they will boast of their kinship with us of which they are now ashamed."
"In the beginning we shall be supported by anti-Semites through a recrudescence" of persecution (for 1 am convinced that they do not expect success and will want to exploit their 'conquest.')"
"It would be an excellent idea to call in respectable, accredited anti-Semites as liquidators of property."
"The anti-Semites will become our most dependable friends, the anti-Semitic countries our allies. We want to emigrate as respected people."
"I believe I have found the solution to the Jewish Question. Not a solution, but the solution, the only one. . . . The only possible, final, and successful solution of the Jewish Question requires a billion francs. . . . But before I present my plan to you, I will tell you in two sentences the principle that it is based upon. This will help you understand everything more easily. 1. We shall solve the Jewish Question by either safeguarding or liquidating the fortune of the wealthy Jews. 2. If we cannot do it with the help of the wealthy Jews, we shall do it in spite of them."
"I have already told you that we want to let respectable anti-Semites participate in our project, respecting their independence which is valuable to us-as a sort of people's control authority."
"Then there will be a whistle that will mean: Get aboard, or out of the way!"
"I am against democracy. . . [W]herever opposition may appear, we shall break it down. We shall impose extensive but firm limits on public opinion . . . "
"[A]nti-Semitism increases among the nations every day, every hour, and must continue to grow, because the causes have not been and cannot be removed."
"The anti-Semites will have carried the day. Let them have this satisfaction, for we too shall be happy. They will have turned out to be right because they are right. "
"August 6: Spoke with old Simon, the president of the Vienna Jewish Community. My words visibly inspired him. Of course I told him only the negative things, and that the rich Jews must be destroyed if they lead lives of avarice, epicureanism, and vanity, while the poor are being persecuted."
"He [Ehrlich] thinks that the project could cause great danger for the Jews, that is, emigration could give rise to persecution. But this very apprehension on the part of Ehrlich shows me how right I am in the major points. For, if I can manage to make the problem an acute one, this is the only effective instrument of power at my disposal, and it is a terrifying one. That is why, for the time being I'm I must not make it into a piece of writing , but treat it as action."
"Bacher joked: 'The Jews will listen to you [Herzl] more peevishly than the Gentiles. You will become an honorary anti-Semitel' "
