There have been conversations
for a year about this Jew...
:16:05
...and that Jew and the complexities
of the law and this problem...
:16:08
...as you, I'm sure, know has tormented us.
:16:11
We first undertook to expel them
from all means by which our people...
:16:14
...would have to deal with them,
every sphere of life of German people.
:16:18
The laws enacted at Nuremberg,
and we should drink a toast...
:16:21
...to Dr. Stuckart for devising them.
:16:23
Coauthor, in all modesty,
I am the coauthor.
:16:25
They established the fundamental legality
for the creation of a Jew-free society...
:16:30
...a Jew-free economy for the world to see.
:16:32
And we, indeed, have eliminated the Jew
from our national life.
:16:35
Now, more than that, the Jew himself...
:16:39
...must be physically eradicated
from our living space.
:16:43
- Clarification.
- Absolutely.
:16:44
There will be a moment for that.
:16:46
But if I may, we pursued
a vigorous policy of emigration...
:16:49
...but who would take more of them?
:16:52
"Who would want them?"
Was the policy's ultimate limitation.
:16:55
Every border in Europe rejects them
or charges outrageously to accept them.
:17:01
- America.
- Even America, thank you...
:17:03
...where Jews constantly whisper
in Roosevelt's ear, still turns them away.
:17:08
Then, in acquiring Poland,
we acquired two and a half million more.
:17:13
By last July,
we were met with a new situation...
:17:15
...we would, in very short order,
be acquiring some...
:17:18
...five million Jews
as we conquered Russia.
:17:22
The dimensions of this problem
have magnified astoundingly.
:17:25
Five million.
:17:27
Exactly the problem. Our ghettos are full...
:17:30
All those ghettos, yes, with Polish names.
:17:35
Fully occupied, but hold for now,
please, if you would.
:17:38
At that time, last July,
confronting this new situation...
:17:41
...Reichsmarshal Göring
prepared a directive, you have a copy.
:17:44
The operative words,
if you'll permit me to read:
:17:47
"I hereby charge you
with making all preparations...
:17:50
"...in regard to organizational
and financial matters...
:17:53
"...for bringing about a complete solution
of the Jewish question...
:17:57
"...in the German sphere of influence
in Europe."
:17:59
Now, for that, I read the cleansing...
