"Hanfstaengel told Churchill that, as Hitler came each afternoon to that same hotel, 'nothing would be easier' than for the two men to meet. Hanfstaengel hoped that Hitler would join Churchill after dinner. 'I turned up at the appointed hour,' Hanfstaengel recalled. 'Mr Churchill taxed me about Hitler's anti-Semitic views. I tried to give as mild an account of the subject as I could, saying that the real problem was the influx of eastern European Jews and the excessive representation of their co-religionaries in the professions, to which Churchill listened very carefully, commenting, "Tell your boss from me that anti-Semitism may be a good starter, but it is a bad sticker."' On the following day Hanfstaengel made one further effort to persuade Hitler to meet Churchill, but in vain. Two days later the Churchills left Munich. Hitler, Hanfstaengel noted, 'kept away until they had gone."
