Auflage" dated Nov. 1941 loosely inserted, as issued. ["Poljak's Jewish Christian end-time congregations met with criticism from both Jews and Christians...Its theological ideas are questionable, especially with regard to the idea that Christians of Jewish origin must gather in their own communities separate from the churches. Poljak's understanding of the end of times and Israel, which more or less corresponded to that of Christian Zionism, also met with rejection.... Poljak's worldview is filled with ideas about a divine providence. He takes these thoughts so far that he claims that Hitler too had a ' historical mission'. Poljak's interpretation of the Holocaust is shaped by a simplistic cause-and-effect principle: 'If we Jews had not deviated from God's ways, He would not have given us into the hands of the anti-Semites'"- translation from wikipedia].
