The achievements of Jews in every field in which the “Germans” excelled gave rise to an essentially schizoid condition in my friends.

The gypsies were adequately inferior, but they were not, in German terms, superhuman. They were, quite literally, such poor Devils. The Jew would have to do—if he could be distinguished from the German.
