Peter Staudenmaier schreibt in seiner Analyse:

„As promised, here is my analysis of the recent 'Frankfurt Memorandum' on Steiner's racial teachings. I'd like to reiterate that the text is the product of a genuine effort by anthroposophists to come to terms with Steiner's race doctrines, and as I mentioned yesterday in introducing the memorandum, its authors are among the more progressive and historically interested anthroposophists in Germany today. My personal interactions with Info3 and with Jens Heisterkamp, one of the two authors of the memorandum, have been positive, respectful, and fruitful.

For reasons I explained last year, however, when we first discussed the memorandum in its original German version, I have many criticisms of the general approach that the memorandum takes toward Steiner's ideas about race. From a historical perspective, much of the memorandum remains constrained by a series of unexamined and unwarranted assumptions about Steiner and his teachings, as well as misperceptions about the historical and intellectual contexts of these teachings. These assumptions and perceptions, which are widespread among anthroposophists today, present a major obstacle to the otherwise admirable aims of the memorandum itself. I will do my best to summarize here my central concerns.“
