Here is a quote from Part 3 of my Modern State of Israel series:
http://www.defence.pk/forums/writers-board/42145-adolf-hitler-providence-miracle-what-really-happened-part-3-a.html
When I wrote the article I did not footnote, the last line: You can guess which country offered Jews a refuge from Russia when the Communist coup failed in 1905 Germany.
It is a quote from Andrew Hitchcocks The History of the House of Rothschild.
My research concluded there was a problem with the common explanation that the Germans have always been anti-Semites.
History tells another story: Jews experienced a period of legal equality from 1848 until the rise of Nazi Germany. German Jews enjoyed full equality in the Weimar Republic, many receiving high political positions like foreign minister and vice chancellor. The Weimar constitution was the work of a German Jew, Hugo Preuss, who later became minister of the interior. Marriages between Jews and non-Jews became somewhat common from the 19th century; for example, the wife of German Chancellor Gustav Stresemann was Jewish. By the end of the 1920s, most German Jews were fully integrated into German society, living as German citizens with German interests. They served in the German army and contributed to every field of German science, business and culture. [the Institute for Jewish Affairs of New York, and Christopher Sykes in "Crossroads to Israel", London 1965, and by Nathan Weinstock, "Le sionisme contre Israel,"]
However, when I went looking for a citation for Germany offering a refuge for Jews, other than Andrew Hitchcock or Benjamin Friedman, it was almost impossible to find.
Can you find one?
