A hundred years ago today, November 21, 1922, Hitler first made the pages of the New York Times,  page 18 to be specific. The newspaper’s Munich correspondent concluded that the “Nationalistic anit-Semitic movement (the word “Nazi” didn’t appear in the article) has now reached a point where it is consiered potentially dangerous, though not for the immediate future.”

The paper noted that the anti-Semitic propaganda had reached a point where “a number of prominent Jewish citizens have sought asylums in the Bavarian highlands, easily reached by fast motor cars, whence they could hurry their women and children when forewarned for an anti-Semitic St. Bartholomew’s night,” (which happened eleven years later).

But the paper reassured readers that this couldn’t happen: “Several reliable, well-informed sources confirmed the idea that Hitler’s anti-Semitism was not so genuine or violent as it sounded, and that he was merely using anti-Semitic propaganda as a bait to catch masses of followers and keep them aroused.”

Interestingly, the article presupposes that reader’s have some knowledge of Hitler, as the article doesn’t bother to use his full name.
