Kolb read Hottentot resistance to Christianity as proof of Jewish descent.

Evidence

An example of this obduracy was provided by an account of the governor of the cape, Simon van der Stel, who became the legal guardian of a Hottentot, raising the child as a Christian, only to be told by his ward that he would live and die, “in the Religion Manners and Customs of My Ancestors.” Recalling this, Kolb concluded that as well as everything else the Hottentots were as “stiff as the Jews.” — Ivan Davidson Kalmar, Derek Penslar, Orientalism and the Jews, 305
