Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

Theodore Fritsch was an antisemitic German political scientist and believer in the superiority of the “aryan race”. His “Handbook” was first published in 1893 and espoused a return to traditional “Volkisch” peasant values and customs against the industrialization and urbanization so characteristic of modernity. He was enormously influential on Hitler and his minions. He died September 8, 1933, not long after Hitler became chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933.
