Readers may well remember the career of the odious Nazi Julius Streicher, the man who was behind the most virulent anti-Semitic propaganda of the Nazis and the editor of the paper Der Sturmer.
Streicher was a propagandist, never a soldier, and never an organiser of the Final Solution, but, as the man who demonised the Jews, he made the Holocaust possible. After the war, he was found guilty of crimes against humanity at Nuremberg, and was executed.
The verdict handed down to Streicher was unquestionably correct. He inspired, encouraged and facilitated the Holocaust and certainly made common cause with its perpetrators.
