“ Mauscheln ” has its origins in Yiddish and has a clearly negative connotation. In addition, there are sub-forms such as large and small, international "Mauschelthum" and "Mauscheln" of the liberal press . These alleged "Mauschel Jews" are "a special species of emancipated Jews". The author warns - and at the same time calls for action - in the form of Christian (Catholic-conservative) and racist anti-Semitism against an alleged Jewish world conspiracy . He describes the group he refers to as “frivolous, cheeky, cheeky” and “work-shy and lazy”. His reasoning is based on German philosophers such as Johann Gottlieb Fichte , Johann Gottfried Herder , Immanuel Kant and Arthur Schopenhauer and the Talmud .

The Berlin anti-Semitism researcher Wolfgang Benz commented: "The intention is the exclusion of Jews by refusing emancipation while blaming the minority". The Bonn sociologist Verena Buser rates the means as " extremely similar to those of the National Socialists ". The Trier linguist Hans Peter Althaus said: "In their agitation , the National Socialists later used exactly these means that a Christian author demonstrated to them in 1879."
