Teenagers race through neighborhood streets putting up posters with pots of paste, spreading the word. Each poster lists twelve decrees, including MAINTAINING PURITY OF LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE IS UP TO YOU! YOUR VOLK HAS ENTRUSTED YOU WITH THE FAITHFUL PRESERVATION OF LANGUAGE. And OUR MOST DANGEROUS ADVERSARY IS THE JEW AND ANYONE WHO DOES HIS BIDDING. And THE JEW CAN THINK ONLY IN JEWISH TERMS. WHEN HE WRITES IN GERMAN, HE TELLS LIES. ANY GERMAN WHO WRITES IN GERMAN BUT WHOSE THINKING IS UN-GERMAN IS A TRAITOR!
