'אם כל האנשים היו יהודים...' גלויה גרמנית מוקדמת מכילה שיר אנטישמי. - “If all people were Jews...”, a translation of “Wenn alle Menschen Juden wären, ” headlined “a thoughtful song, ”  If all people were Jews,  What would become of the world?  No corn would grow,  No plow would move through the fields,  No forester would tend the woods,  No miner would start his shift.  What’s more, Jews don’t like  To sail the seas.  The steamboat would never have been invented,  Nor would the train.  No dirigible would rise  Shining into the sky.  We wouldn’t have gunpowder,  Nor electric lights.  For the Jew can barter,  But he cannot invent.  No nurse would set out  To treat the sick,  And if fire broke out,  No fire truck would come,  No lifeboat would leap across the waves  If mast and anchorage broke.  For the Jew always seeks help,  But he will not help others!  What can the Jew give,  He who has nothing,  Yet presumes to  Call himself “elect”?  Only the devil knows,  For he loves pride and arrogance.  Thank God there are still  Other people on earth!
