to Julius Streicher's StU*rmer, but was satirical rather
than sadistic.
In 1934, Weiss gave the principal address at the
annual conference of the journalists' association. He
declared, "The press in the old liberal sense is dead
and will never be called to life again. It must remain
dead because the spirit of the epoch, which lacks being,
is also dead" (5, p. 35).
By nature, Weiss was quiet, reserved and conciliatory.
He avoided at all costs collisions and difficulties with
the party leader. There are several instances of tol-
erance and decency in professional relationships in his
life. However, there is no evidence that he ever recog-
nized the truth about National Socialism or disassociated
himself from its ideology (5, p. 36).
Der St*irmer Had No Equal
Julius Streicher, publisher of the notoriously anti-
semitic and pornographic weekly newspaper, Der Stiirmer,
was certainly the opposite of Weiss. He loved confront-
ation and encouraged it in the opening of his publication,
which had no equal in the history of mankind for
dissemination of hatred. He constantly stressed in
its pages, which were read by 600,000 subscribers, his
idea of a greater Germany without Jews. Perhaps, he,
more than any other person, was responsible for the Jews'
extermination (6, p. 82).
