For Adolf Hitler, he was the epitome of National Socialism. Heinrich Himmler copied his persecution practices against Jews and other Germans. The "German Volksgemeinschaft" recognized itself in him like in a mirror: Julius Streicher, the notorious publisher of the propaganda magazine Der Stürmer, was the most significant driving force behind the persecution of Jews in Germany long before the Nazis came to power. He created the enemy image of the "Jewish race defiler," founded the most influential Nazi propaganda magazine, and significantly pushed for the "Nuremberg Blood Protection Laws." How is it that the life and work of this close friend of Adolf Hitler remain almost entirely unknown even in academic circles today? Why has research resisted addressing the enormous success of this "professional anti-Semite" until now? And what kind of fascination did he exert that even business figures like Martin Hilti from the Principality of Liechtenstein were fervent admirers of Julius Streicher in their youth, emulated him in their fight against "racial disgrace," and could demand the annihilation of the Jewish race without reservation? In his foundational study "Recreator of the German People" - Julius Streicher in the Fight Against "Racial Disgrace," political scientist Franco Ruault analyzes another tabooed chapter of the emergence and impact of the Nazi regime: the life and work of Julius Streicher in the context of the "solution to the Jewish question.".
