Joseph Gobbles
Hey Kids!
I'm Joseph Gobbles the turkey!
Do you know any Jews?
Audible gasps are heard
Jews are mysterious creatures and they aren't like you good German boys and girls. They have horns like devils and like to eat babies which have just hatched.
But the Jews I know don't have horns Mr. Gobbles!
That's because they can hide them with their witchcraft. They don't want you to know the truth.
But my best friend is a Jew and he's done nothing but good things for me and we've been neighbours since I was born!
It is all an elaborate ruse to confuse you. You are just confused. Children are too confused these days. Stop being so confused.
I'm definitely confused. What can we do Mr. Gobbles. You have struck fear into our hearts?!
Let me teach you about die Endlösung.
Jews aren't like us. You shouldn't play with them because they like to cheat, and cheating isn't a German virtue is it chilren?.
Your mommies and daddies want to protect you, so they're helping us help you by taking all the Jews to the train station. They will all be taken to a special place, conveniently in time for Thanksgiving!
Then you won't have to worry about the Jews anymore.
Jews make a lot of people angry. Sometimes the anger wells up in them, and people spontaneously form large crowds.
They join together and form Pogroms, which are like parties, parties that involve alcohol, book burning, a few beatings a bit of collateral damage that affects non-Jews but we don't want to be a party pooper do we?
Wow! That sounds like fun!
It is. You can run around and do whatever you want. You can break things and hit people if you want, too. It is all in the name of future German glory. Don't you want to join us?
Something feels a little off about this. We suspect maybe you adults are taking this all a little too far no?
Nonsense, mark my words, in 100 years, the rest of the world will emulate our great German nation, they will look back at what we are about to do and congratulate us, a remarkable project, it is the beginning of a new era which Germany will celebrate forever?
Mutti says that's mean though!
Remember how Jews are devils?
You can be mean to them.
They're the ones who cause all the bad things in the world.
I think we need just a little more convincing!
It will be Gobble-de-gobble-de-gooble-de-fun!!!
Thank you Mr. Goggles. We are sold!
