  National Socialism and thereby the survival of
  our people for all time.
• The enormous significance of the Jewish Question
  is recognized today by nearly every member of the
  German people. This knowledge cost our people a
  long period of misery.
• To spare coming generations this misery, we want
  German teachers to plant the knowledge of the Jew
  deep in the hearts of our youth from their
  childhood on. No one among our people should or
  may grow up without learning the true depravity
  and danger of the Jew.

  related questions, are now more the center of
  education. Thank god, eugenics and a concern with
  healthy offspring has also entered our
  schoolrooms.
• It is easy to build the bridge from them to the
  Jewish Question. The Nuremberg Laws also provide
  a starting point. They forbid Jews to have female
  servants under 45 years of age. The forbid
  marriage between Jews and Germans. They provide
  lengthy prison terms for sexual relations between
  Jews and Germans, even if it does not lead to
  motherhood.
