Naumann was closely aligned with the politics of German national conservatism: a nationalist variety of conservatism, which promoted upholding national and cultural identity by emphasizing traditional cultural and so-called “family values” while opposing immigration.The organization, though never accumulating great numbers of members, was very active and it was supported by some wealthy and established German Jews.
Eligible for membership were “Germans of Jewish descent,” who, while openly acknowledging their descent, nevertheless felt so completely rooted in German culture and Wesen [essence, character] that they could not but think and feel as Germans.The Association’s chief goal was to achieve the total assimilation of Jews into the German national community through the self-extinction of Jewish identity.
In other words, to conquer antisemitism, they believed they must relinquish their Jewish identity.The Association also worked against allowing Eastern European Jews to immigrate to Germany, believing it threatened Jewish integration into German society because these immigrants brought with them “racist” ideas that served the interests of British imperialism.
