Global- Holocaust Primary Source Documents and Questions What is the “Jewish Problem”? ! How do they propose to solve that problem? Statements by Leading Nazis on the "Jewish Question " All of the documents on this Web page were retrieved from the archives of Shamash: The Jewish Internet Consortium. The comments inside the square [ . ] brackets were written by Daniel Keren !for the Shamash archives. Speech by Adolf Hitler, January 31, 1939. Trials of War Criminals Before the Nuremberg Military Tribunals - Washington, U.S. Govt. Print. Off., 1949-1953, Vol XIII, p. 131: Today I will once more be a prophet: If the international Jewish financiers in and outside Europe should succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war, then the result will not be the bolshevization of the earth, and thus the victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe! Adolph Hitler speaking to a crowd at the Sports Palace in Berlin, 30 January 1942. Quoted in "The Holocaust," by Martin Gilbert, Holt, Rinehart and Winston, NY, 1985, p. 285. Text as monitored by the Foreign Broadcast Monitoring Service, Federal Communications Commission. And we say that the war will not end as the Jews imagine it will, namely with the uprooting of the Aryans, but the result of this war will be the complete annihilation of the Jews. Excerpts from the meeting between Adolf Hitler and the Mufti, Haj Amin Husseini, on 28 November 1941. The notes were taken by Dr. Paul Otto Schmidt and are quoted in Gerald Fleming's "Hitler and the Final Solution", p. 101-104. Also geheime Reichssache 57 a/41, Records Dept. Foreign and Commonwealth Office Pa/2: The Fhrer then made the following declaration, requesting the Mufti to lock it deep in his heart: 1) He (the Fhrer) would carry on the fight until the last traces of the Jewish-Communist European hegemony had been obliterated. 2) In the course of this fight, the German army would - at a time that could not yet be specified, but in any case in the clearly foreseeable future - gain the Southern exit of Caucasus. 3) As soon as this breakthrough was made, the Fhrer would offer the Arab world his personal assurance that the hour of liberation had struck. Thereafter, Germany's only remaining objective in the region would be limited to the annihilation of the Jews living under British protection in Arab lands. Adolf Hitler, quoted in "Hitler," by Joachim Fest, Vintage Books Edition, 1974, p. 679-680: Nature is cruel; therefore we are also entitled to be cruel. When I send the flower of German youth into the steel hail of the next war without feeling the slightest regret over the precious German blood that is being spilled, should I not also have the right to eliminate millions of an inferior race that multiplies like vermin? ! ! Speeches by Reichsfuehrer-SS Himmler before senior SS officers in Poznan, October 4 and 6, 1943. Trials of War Criminals Before the Nuernberg Military Tribunals - Washington, U.S Govt. Print. Off., 1949-1953, Vol. XIII, p. 323, and Himmler, Reichsfuehrer-SS - P. Padfield, Henry Holt and Co, NY, 1990, p. 469: I mean the evacuation of the Jews, the extermination of the Jewish race. It's one of those things it is easy to talk about, "the Jewish race is being exterminated", says one party member, "that's quite clear, it's in our program, elimination of the Jews, and we're doing it, exterminating them". And then they come, 80 million worthy Germans, and each one has his decent Jew. Of course the others are vermin, but this one is an A-1 Jew. Not one of those who talk this way has watched it, not one of them has gone through it. Most of you know what it means when 100 corpses are lying side by side, or 500, or 1,000. To have stuck it out and at the same time - apart from exceptions caused by human weakness - to have remained decent fellows, that is what has made us hard. This is a page of glory in our history which has never been written and is never to be written. I ask of you that what I say in this circle you really only hear and never speak of. We come to the question: how is it with the women and the children? I have resolved even here on a completely clear solution. That is to say I do not consider myself justified in eradicating the men - so to speak killing or ordering them killed - and allowing the avengers in the shape of the children to grow up for our sons and grandsons. The difficult decision has to be taken, to cause this Volk [people] to disappear from the earth. [This speech was recorded; the magnetic tapes are in the National Archives in Washington, DC] Speech by Reichsfuehrer-SS Himmler at Kharkow, April 1943. Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression - Washington, U.S Govt. Print. Off., 1946, Vol. IV, p. 572-574: We have - I would say, as very consistent National Socialists, taken the question of blood as our starting point. We were the first really to solve the problem of blood by action, and in this connection, by problem of blood, we of course do not mean antisemitism. Antisemitism is exactly the same as delousing. Getting rid of lice is not a question of ideology. It is a matter of cleanliness. The Goebbels [Reich Propaganda Minister] Diaries, February 14 1942. The Goebbels Diaries 1942-1943 - L.P. Lochner, Doubleday & Co., 1948, p. 86: World Jewry will suffer a great catastrophe at the same time as Bolshevism. The Fhrer once more expressed his determination to clean up the Jews in Europe pitilessly. There must be no squeamish sentimentalism about it. The Jews have deserved the catastrophe that has now overtaken them. Their destruction will now go hand in hand with the destruction of our enemies. We must hasten this process with cold ruthlessness. The Goebbels [Reich Propaganda Minister] diaries, March 27, 1942. The Goebbels Diaries 1942-1943 - L.P. Lochner, Doubleday & Co., 1948, p. 147-148: Beginning with Lublin, the Jews in the General Government [Nazi occupied Poland] are now being evacuated eastward. The procedure is a pretty barbaric one and not to be described here more definitely. Not much will remain of the Jews. On the whole it can be said that about 60 percent of them will have to be liquidated whereas only 40 percent can be used for forced labor. Speech by Hans Frank [Governor of occupied Poland], to German soldiers in Poland, urging them to write home. Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression - Washington, U.S Govt. Print. Off., 1946, Vol. II, p. 633-634: In all these weeks, they [i.e., your families] will be thinking of you, saying to themselves: my God, there he sits in Poland where there are so many lice and Jews, perhaps he is hungry and cold, perhaps he is afraid to write. It would not be a bad idea to send our dear ones back home a picture, and tell them: well now, there are not so many lice and Jews any more, and conditions here in the General Government have changed and improved somewhat already. Of course, I could not eliminate all lice and Jews in only one year's time. But in the course of time, and above all, if you help me, this end will be attained. After all, it is not necessary for us to accomplish everything within a year and right away, for what would otherwise be left for those who follow us to do? Speech by Hans Frank [Governor of occupied Poland], December 16 1941. Documents on the Holocaust - Edited by Y. Arad, Y. Gutman, A. Margaliot, NY, Ktav Pub. House in Association with Yad-Vashem, 1981, p. 247, Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression - Washington, U.S Govt. Print. Off., 1946 Vol. II p. 634: One way or another -- I will tell you quite openly -- we must finish off the Jews. The Fhrer put it into words once: should united Jewry again succeed in setting off a world war, then the blood sacrifice shall not be made only by the peoples driven into war, but then the Jew of Europe will have met his end.... But what should be done with the Jews? Can you believe that they will be accommodated in settlements in the Ostland? In Berlin we were told: why are you making all this trouble? We don't want them either, not in Ostland nor in the Reichskommissariat; liquidate them yourselves! Gentlemen, I must ask you to steel yourselves against all considerations of compassion. We must destroy the Jews wherever we find them, and wherever it is at all possible, in order to maintain the whole structure of the Reich... The Jews represent for us also extraordinary malignant gluttons. We have now approximately 2,500,000 of them in the General Government [Nazi occupied Poland], perhaps with the Jewish mixtures and everything that goes with it, 3,500,000 Jews. We cannot shoot or poison those 3,500,000 Jews, but we shall nevertheless be able to take measures which will lead somehow to their annihilation, and this in connection with the gigantic measures to be determined in discussions with the Reich. Letter from Hugo Hppenerner, higher SS and Police leader in the Warthegau, to SS- Obersturmbannfuehrer Eichmann, July 16 1941: Documents of Destruction - R. Hilberg, Quadrangle Books, Chicago, 1971, p. 87. Enclosed is a memorandum on the results of various discussions held locally in the office of the Reich Governor. Subject: Solution of the Jewish question 4) This winter there is a danger that not all of the Jews can be fed anymore.

RESUMEN El examen de los criterios seguidos por el régimen nazi en su persecución e intento de aniquilación de los judíos europeos revela graves incoherencias con un modelo de persecución por motivos religiosos o raciales. Se defiende que el único sentido posible de la persecución fue cultural y, específicamente, moral. La reeducación y/o rehabilitación social de los judíos fue considerada imposible desde los inicios del régimen y del sistema de campos de concentración, juzgándose necesario establecer centros de exterminio ad hoc, los cuales, a pesar de su eficacia asesina, fracasaron en el deseo del régimen de proceder con la debida Anständigkeit y fueron por tanto sustituidos por el sistema de Auschwitz. Toda la evolución tecnológica y organizativa de la Solución Final desde los Einsatzgruppen hasta Birkenau presenta una evolución objetiva hacia formas cada vez más impersonales y asépticas de exterminio, evidenciando un componente moral en la toma de decisiones con frecuencia ignorado o ridiculizado. La conclusión define la Solución Final como una guerra moral, es decir, de destrucción de una moral por otra mediante la eliminación de su base biológica.

In this study, Italian scholar and prolific Revisionist author Carlo Mattogno analyzes the most important witness testimonies and juxta- poses them with original German wartime documents as well as ma- terial evidence still available today. Mattogno shows that the witness testimonies are either extremely vague or, where they are specific, that they contradict each other or claim physical impossibilities. A few wit- nesses made more specific statements, which allow for their verifica- tion or refutation. Mattogno performs an analysis of these statements with the help of both original German wartime documents and mate- rial evidence. His analysis reveals that the claims of these witnesses are totally unfounded. Mattogno also exposes the fraudulent attempts of mainstream historians to convert the witnesses’ black propaganda into “truth” by means of selective quotes, omissions and distortions. CARLO MATTOGNO Finally, Mattogno shows with forensic methods—by investigating the current state of the structure as presented to tourists today—that this crematory’s morgue has never been anything different than what it was meant to be: a morgue.

  • Additional Research Notes
    Additional Research Notes Below is more information related to Joe’s story, including concen tration camps, ship transporting dislocated persons, camp for dislocated persons, camp commandants/other Nazi officials and their fate, and famous shoe companies. 1. Concentration Camps A. Auschwitz/Birkenau, Poland (Concentration Camp) Author’s Note : Joe arrived at Auschwitz on April 30, 1942 and was housed at its sister camp, Birkenau, or “Auschwitz II,” where two days a week he was forced to move the bodies of the dead from the gas chamber to open pits. He was also required to do daily calisthenics and work in many other areas around the camp, including snow removal on the massive grounds. Joe was eventually assigned to a slave labor crew working in a nearby coal mine. For a short while, the inmate miners were forced to walk several miles each day to the coal mine and back. When Joe was finally moved from Birkenau to a camp near the coal mine, he le Auschwitz for the last time, but the mining camp remained under the authority of Auschwitz. Joe permanently lost the hearing in one ear from the repeated explosions of dynamite. Documents provided by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., show that in June 1944, Joe (Juzek Rubinsztein) was sent from the Auschwitz complex (we believe from the Jawischowitz Sub-camp/Brzeszcze Coal Mine) to Buchenwald, Germany. His official number while at Auschwitz was 34207. At Buchenwald, his number was 117.666. 1, 2 e Auschwitz Concentration Camp, located thirty-seven miles west of Krakow, near the Polish city of Oswiecim, was in an area annexed by Nazi Germany in 1939 aer its invasion of Poland.

  • 1 Vii: Roles of Physicians and Nurses in the “Medical” Experime
    1 VII: ROLES OF PHYSICIANS AND NURSES IN THE “MEDICAL” EXPERIMENTS RELATED TO “RACIAL HYGIENE” Professor Susan Benedict UT Health Science Center Houston, Texas, USA 77030 [email protected] 001-713-500-2039 Purpose of the Module: To describe the role of physicians and nurses in experiments that were based upon the notion of furthering the “science” of racial hygiene. Suggested Readings: Strzelecka, I. (2000). Experiments. In Auschwitz 1940-1945, vol. II, eds. Ditugoborski, W. and Piper, F., Oświᶒcim: Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, p. 347-369. Shelley, L. (1991). Block 10. In Crimnal Experiments on Human Beings in Auschwitz and War Research Laboratories: Twenty Women Prisoners’ Accounts. San Francisco: Mellen Research University Press, p. 22. Benedict, S. and Georges, J. (2006). Nurses and the sterilization experiments of Auschwitz. Nursing Inquiry, 13: 277-288. Suggested Videos: “Healing by Killing”, part 2. Objectives: 1. Discuss the evolution of the sterilization laws into the sterilization experiments. 2. Analyze why the “researchers” obtained written consent from the women in Block 3. Discuss the effects of the sterilization experiments on the population had the outcome of the war been different. Discussion Questions: 1. Why did the Prussian Directive of 1931, mentioned in Module 1, not prevent unethical experimentation? 2. If the physicians who conducted these medical experiments had been brought to trial, what would have been the likely charges and the likely sentences? Synopsis: Among the horrific experiments perpetrated upon concentration camp prisoners were the sterilization experiments. These experiments not only were based upon racial hygiene principles but also had the quasi-military goal of creating a cadre of slave laborers 2 who were to rebuild post-war Germany but who, because they were deemed “inferior,” would not be allowed to reproduce.

  • Susan Benedict, Ruth Jolanda Weinberger Medical Personnel in Auschwitz
    Susan Benedict, Ruth Jolanda Weinberger Medical Personnel in Auschwitz: Inmate Dotors – and Nurses This chapter will look at the lives of two Auschwitz inmates that were part of Block 10s medical personnel. Their lives, “collaboration,” and possible assistance in medical experiments as well as their resistance will serve as example for the many inmate doctors and nurses drawn into medical experiments, and in this case Drs. Carl Clauberg’s, Horst Schumann’s and Eduard Wirth’s sterilization experiments. Historically speaking, since 1943 Jewish inmate doctors played an integrative role in every concentration camp throughout the Third Reich. However, prior to that date this was not always the case: The decision to allow Jewish doctors to care for Jewish inmates goes back to Dr. Eduard Wirths, then Auschwitz’s Standortarzt (garrison doctor)1, which came at a time when the National Socialist regime started to realize that it was in their very interest to keep and control a solid Jewish work force, especially as they could be utilized for cheap and effective slave labor. The situation faced by inmate doctors was difficult, to say the least: On a daily basis, they were faced with a never-ending ambiguity of being trapped in a world with no mercy, where the idea to heal and cure was far fetched. At the same time, however, they struggled to help, to assist or to simply show compassion with their fellow inmates. They still tried to honor the Hyppocratic Oath. Inmate doctors and nurses, including those drawn into medical experiments, as well as the medical personnel ‘assigned’ to work in the Krankenbau (the camp hospital) knew that it was largely dependent on their decision if an inmate was ‘worth’ saving, or if his/her state was so deteriorated that any help was deemed useless and probably a waste of the scarcely available medicine to begin with.
