Klemperer speaks about the British " concentration camps " in Africa during the Second Boer War, which were internment camps, and bore " a taste of vacation camp ", according to him.

From 1914 to 1915, Klemperer lectured in Naples, after which he became a decorated military volunteer of World War I.

If the rest of the world had adopted a similar policy, we would not have a Jewish Question ( Judenfrage ).... As a religion, Islam indeed performed an eternal service to the world: it prevented the threatened conquest of Arabia by the Jews and vanquished the horrible teaching of Jehovah by a pure religion, which at that time opened the way to a higher culture for numerous peoples .... ( Quoted in Victor Klemperer ' Tagebuch as author of an article " Schuld ist der Jude " in nr. 143 of " Freiheitskampf " Review ( 1943 ), where he accuses the Jews to have prepared the First World War to destroy the German people: " if the Jews win, our destiny will be that of the polish officers in Katyn ".
