What book by an American Jew was used by Nazi propaganda?

In the summer of 1941, Theodor Kaufmann's book "Germany Must Perish!" was published in the United States. A little-known author, a Jew by nationality, expressed in it the idea of sterilizing all Germans, and dividing the territory of Germany between neighboring states. In the Third Reich, the pamphlet was immediately widely circulated as evidence of a Jewish conspiracy, writing down Kaufman as an adviser to the American president. Many critics have pointed out that this book did more to mobilize the German population and justify the extermination of the Jews than other carefully crafted pieces of Nazi propaganda.

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

What was the main cause of death during a naval battle in the XNUMXth century?

The most common chip.

Cannonballs fired from the cannons of warships didn't explode (whatever Hollywood might have imagined) - they simply punched through the hull of the ship, which caused huge wood chips to fly in all directions, hitting everyone who was within reach.

British warships of the time were often rotten and unseaworthy. Many officers bought ranks and ranks for themselves, and therefore had no idea how to handle sails, fight and command subordinates. Hernias from dragging many acres of wet canvas up the hump became such a common occurrence that the navy was forced to issue bandages along with uniforms. To top it off, for a hundred years, sailors and officers have never received a pay raise.

At close range, a fifteen-kilogram cannonball pierced wood to a depth of 60 cm. And the best way to stop splitting (of course, apart from building metal ships) was to use virgin oak - a type of tree that did not give chips, being one of the hardest breeds.

Virginia oak (Quercus virginiana) is the emblem of Georgia and a symbol of strength and resilience throughout the southern states: this tree, entwined with long garlands of moss, is a common sight in films like Gone with the Wind.

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Implanted brain stimulator 30.04.2024

In recent years, scientific research in the field of neurotechnology has made enormous progress, opening new horizons for the treatment of various psychiatric and neurological disorders. One of the significant achievements was the creation of the smallest implanted brain stimulator, presented by a laboratory at Rice University. Called Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), this innovative device promises to revolutionize treatments by providing more autonomy and accessibility to patients. The implant, developed in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians, introduces an innovative approach to brain stimulation. It is powered through an external transmitter using magnetoelectric power transfer, eliminating the need for wires and large batteries typical of existing technologies. This makes the procedure less invasive and provides more opportunities to improve patients' quality of life. In addition to its use in treatment, resist ... >>

The perception of time depends on what one is looking at 29.04.2024

Research in the field of the psychology of time continues to surprise us with its results. Recent discoveries by scientists from George Mason University (USA) turned out to be quite remarkable: they discovered that what we look at can greatly influence our sense of time. During the experiment, 52 participants took a series of tests, estimating the duration of viewing various images. The results were surprising: the size and detail of the images had a significant impact on the perception of time. Larger, less cluttered scenes created the illusion of time slowing down, while smaller, busier images gave the feeling of time speeding up. Researchers suggest that visual clutter or detail overload can make it difficult to perceive the world around us, which in turn can lead to faster perception of time. Thus, it was shown that our perception of time is closely related to what we look at. Larger and smaller ... >>

A well-chosen diet improves the performance of children 27.09.2016

Scientists from the University of Eastern Finland have found out how the quality of nutrition affects intelligence. It turned out that the Finnish, Baltic and Mediterranean diets have a positive effect on the ability of schoolchildren to perceive information.

For their experiment, the researchers selected 161 volunteers aged 6-8 years. All children were first grade students. For three years of study, scientists monitored the nutrition and academic performance of children. It turned out that schoolchildren who ate Finnish, Baltic and Mediterranean cuisine better absorbed textual information. The peculiarity of these diets is less sugar and a large amount of whole grains, fish, berries, fruits and vegetables.

Scientists note that nutrition is important for schoolchildren, but the status of the family, the presence of weight problems, and physical activity have no lesser role on intelligence.

Scientists have previously reported that heredity plays a key role in student achievement. This factor is associated with 55% of the differences in the activity and grades of children in the classroom. Also, experts noted that success at school still largely depends on the educational institution and the situation in the family.
