In the seventh grade boys class, things are very lively today. The teacher is talking about the Jews. And that really interests the young fellows. Teacher Birkmann has drawn pictures of Jews on the blackboard. The lads are fascinated. Even the laziest of the students, "Emil the Snorer" is on his toes and not asleep like he often is in other classes. Herr Birkmann is of course a very fine teacher. All the children like him. What they enjoy most of all is when the teacher talks about Jews. And Mr. Birkmann is a master at it. In his life he has gotten to know all about the Jews. And he understands how to describe it all in such an exciting way that the lads like their daily "Jews Hour" best of all. Teacher Birkmann glances at the clock. "It is exactly 12 o'clock," he says. "We are going to sum up what we've learned in this hour. What were we talking about?" All the boys raise their hands. The teacher calls on Karl Scholz, the little whippersnapper in the front row. "We talked about recognizing Jews." "Good, now tell me about that." Little Karl reaches for the pointer, heads for the blackboard and points to the drawings. "The Jews are recognized mostly by their nose. The Jew nose is bent at its tip.
It looks like a number six. It's called the 'Jew six.' Lots of non-Jews have bent nose too. But their noses are bent higher up. That kind of nose is called a 'hook nose' or 'eagle nose.' They have nothing to do with the Jewish nose." "That's right!" says the teacher. "But one doesn't just recognize the Jew by his nose?" The lad goes on. "One can recognize the Jew by his lips. His lips are usually thick. Often the lower lip hangs down. They're called 'draggers.'
