Austria’s former vice chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache described Jews as “power-hungry” “enemies” in a dedication inscribed into an antisemitic book, according to the Süddeutsche Zeitung.
The inscription, bearing the former far-right Freedom Party leader’s name, reads: “This book should give you an insight into the perfidious and power-hungry Jewish way of thinking.
“As this country’s political elite, we have to study our enemies, expose their wild ideas and confront them”.
Mr Strache made the inscription in Jüdische Bekenntnisse, an antisemitic tract written by Hans Jonak von Freyenwald, an Austrian civil servant. It was first published in 1941 by the publisher of the Nazi newspaper Der Stürmer.
