7. Summary of Holocaust
The holocaust was truly a tragic event. Over
11 millions lives were lost, from the cruel
hand of Adolf Hitler. This was the result of
the Nazis plan to get rid of all the Jews. The
nazis decided that the most effienct way to
get rid of the Jews would be to set up camps
to kill off the Jews. Jewish children could not
go to school with other German children.
“Jewish businesses were forced to close,
Jewish temples were burned and
vandalized.”
8. Letters
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?

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!

Mr. Valentin for nearly six years,
both in and in this country, and i
know that he has always been
devoted to this ideal, since his
arrival in this country he has
always been throughly loyal to
the Untied States, has made
every effort to become as
American as possible, and is
perhaps more truly devoted to
this country than many native
Americans

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 FŸhrer then made the following declaration, requesting the Mufti to lock it
deep in his heart:
1) He (the FŸhrer) 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 FŸhrer 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.
