editor of the Nazi monthly, The Nationalsozialistische
Monatshefte, and on April 1, 1933, he was appointed
director of foreign policy of the party. In 1934 he was
named supervisor of the entire educational activity of the
Nazi movement along intellectual, religious and philoso-
phical lines. His office scrutinized all literary activity
in the Reich. In 1936, Germans were no longer allowed
to receive the Nobel Prize. National prizes of 100,000
marks were established. Rosenberg was the first to
receive the honor (2, p. 4).
Rosenberg anchored himself solidly in Hitler's
campaign against the Jews when his book, Myth of the 20th
Century,was published in 1930. It became second in
ranking in Germany only to Mein Kampf, and on some
instances, including religious works, it was far more
explicit than Hitler's book (2, p. v).
The title was misleading. The term "myth" did not
mean something that was untrue but something which was
true in a profounder way than science or common sense.
It meant a view of life and nature that was accepted on
faith and inspired social action. It was a kind of cult,
or religion, or intuitive philosophy.
The work was violently anti-Jewish and anti-Catholic.
It attacked communism, democracy, and high finance as
devices of Jewry. It attacked the protestant churches
for retaining too many Jewish and Catholic influences.
