The 'Final Solution'
[back]
Holocaust
revisionism
[There isn't any written evidence for a policy of extermination known as the Final Solution. If there was you would have thought the Germans, of all people, would have done a better job than to convert morgues into 'gas chambers', at Auschwitz and Birkenau.]
We are told that the Germans sought the *final solution* of the Jewish question in Europe and that those words concealed, apparently, their desire to exterminate the Jews. That's false. There mustn't be any cheating here. The Germans, in reality, sought a final TERRITORIAL solution of the Jewish question. They wanted to expel the Jews to a territory that would then be their own. Its accurate to say that before the war they thought, for a time, that the territory might be in Palestine but, very quickly, they reckoned that solution would be impossible, and that it must be discarded out of consideration for "the noble and valiant Arab people" I guarantee that those were their words. [2009 Jan] Interview given by Professor Robert Faurisson
In late 1941 Heydrich sent a message to all the relevant ministers and state
secretaries calling them to a high-level conference on the Jewish question. This
is the famous Wannsee Conference, which took place on January 20, 1942, at a
villa in suburban Berlin. There the officials discussed how to deal with all the
administrative problems of large-scale transportations of Jews. There's no
reference to killing Jews, not even an indication, anywhere in the Conference
record.
.......There were still eleven million Jews in Europe,
Goebbels dictated on that day, accurately summarizing the document. "For the
time being they are to be concentrated in the east [until] later; possibly an
island like Madagascar can be assigned to them after the war." It all raised a
host of "delicate questions," he added. "Undoubtedly there will be a multitude
of personal tragedies," he wrote airily, "But this is unavoidable. The situation
now is ripe for a final settlement of the Jewish question."
.....More chilling is another diary entry a few weeks
later. On March 27, 1942, Goebbels dictates a lengthy passage about another SS
document that had been submitted to him, and which appears to have been much
uglier in its content. "Beginning with Lublin," he states, "the Jews are now
being deported eastward from the General Government [occupied Poland]. The
procedure is pretty barbaric and one that beggars description, and there's not
much left of the Jews. Broadly speaking one can probably say that 60 percent of
them will have to be liquidated, while only 40 percent can be put to work."
It's a very ugly passage, and
it's easy to link this diary passage with everything we've seen in the movies
and on television since then. He's describing "Schindler's List" here -- or is
he? I don't know. All he's actually saying here is that the Jews are having a
pretty rigorous time. They're being deported, it's happening in a systematic
way, and not many of them are going to survive it.
Revelations from Joseph
Goebbels' Diary
During the war the Germans, keen to neutralise the Jews, placed a certain number of them in concentration or labour camps to wait out the conflict. They put off the definitive solution till after the war's end. During the war, and up to the last months thereof, they said to the Allies: You marvel at the Jews, do you? Take them, then. We're ready to send you as many European Jews as you want but on one express condition: that they remain in Britain until the end of the war; on no pretence must they go to Palestine; the Palestinian people have already suffered so much at the hands of Jews that it would be an "indecency" (sic) to add to their martyrdom . [2009 Jan] Interview given by Professor Robert Faurisson
Not a single document has ever been found which even refers to an extermination program. To the contrary, the German documents show that the "final solution" meant removing the Jews from Europe -- by emigration if possible and by deportation if necessary......Heydrich explained that the German policy was to deport the Jews of Europe to the Soviet territories. Furthermore, I added, every one of the officials who participated in the conference and survived the war (with the exception of Adolf Eichmann in Israeli custody) later testified that the conference had nothing to do with a policy of extermination......The extermination stories were subsequently promoted by the Allied governments as part of their wartime propaganda campaign against Germany.

Jewish emigration was welcomed by the German authorities of the Third Reich. It
was not some kind of wild flight, but rather a lawfully determined and regulated
matter. Weckert's booklet elucidates the emigration process in law and policy,
thereby augmenting the traditionally received picture of Jewish emigration from
Germany. The accounts of Jews fleeing Germany in secret by night across some
border are untenable.
Weber testified that the Wannsee Conference protocol was the record of a very
important meeting held on January 20, 1942 in Berlin. This document was referred
to in virtually every important work on the Holocaust. The single surviving copy
was not an original but one of sixteen copies originally made. It was not signed
or dated. Weber believed it was probably an unauthorized protocol but he could
not be absolutely sure. The author of the document was allegedly Adolf Eichmann.
Weber accepted the protocol's authenticity but the important revisionist writer,
Dr. Wilhelm Stäglich, had called its authenticity into question for the reasons
that the document had no date, no signature, no letterhead. There was no record
of any other copies existing. (23-5706 to 5708)
The Wannsee Conference protocol
itself did not indicate a plan for the extermination of the Jews.
Exterminationist historians Martin Broszat and Hans Mommsen now believed that
the protocol did not constitute such an order or plan. In Weber's opinion, the
protocol was evidence that there was no extermination policy. From a reading of
the document in context with other German documents from the time, it was clear
that the German policy during the war was to deport the Jews to the east, to the
occupied Soviet territories, with the intention of deporting them to some place
outside of Europe after the war. (23-5708 to 5711)
Reinhard Heydrich, the chairman of
the Wannsee Conference and a man who had a major role in Germany's wartime
Jewish policy, gave a speech in Prague to high level German officials in which
he said that the Jews of Europe would be put in camps in the occupied Soviet
territories and then, after the war, would be taken out of Europe altogether.
The private conversations of Hitler himself (recorded in Table Talk) to a circle
of close associates in 1942 also showed this to be the German policy. Hitler
said that he was absolutely determined to deport the Jews out of Europe to
Madagascar or to some other Jewish national state after the war. (23-5711, 5712)

Another important document in this regard was the Luther Memorandum of August
21, 1942. The author, Martin Luther, was the head of Inland II (the domestic
office of the German Foreign Office) and had a major role in co-ordinating the
deportation of Jews from various countries in Europe. The Foreign Office was
involved in the deportations because it had to have permission from foreign
governments with which Germany was allied during the war to deport Jews from
those countries to the east. So Luther was very much in a position to know what
was going on. The memorandum laid out what Germany's wartime policy towards the
Jews was, namely, that they were to be deported to the east and kept there until
the end of the war when the Jews would be taken out of Europe altogether. This
policy was cited in the memorandum and authorized by Hitler himself. (23-5713 to
5717)
Weber pointed out that
exterminationist historians, when faced with documents such as this, tried to
interpret the document to suit their preconceived notions. Usually the
exterminationists, such as Hilberg and Dawidowicz, would allege that when the
Germans talked about their policy towards the Jews, they used code words or
euphemisms. The idea that the highest officials of the German government would
be using code words with each other about a policy they were all aware of and
that was supposed to be secret anyway was hard to believe, said Weber. He
believed that interpretation was not accurate. Weber pointed out that the post-
war testimony of those who were present at the Wannsee Conference was fairly
unanimous in saying that the conference was not one held for an extermination
programme. (23-5714 to 5718)
Another interesting piece of
evidence was that of Heydrich's wife. She was shocked when her husband told her
in 1942 that the Germans were going to send all the Jews to Russia. She felt it
was a very cruel and harsh thing to do. Heydrich tried to reassure her that the
Jews were not going to be killed and that the conditions were not as harsh as
many people had been led to believe. He also stated that it was necessary that
Europe rid itself of the Jews and that there would be a new beginning for them
after the war. The Wannsee Conference protocol used the words bei Freilassung
which meant that "upon their release" or "upon their liberation" there would be
a new beginning for the Jews. (23-5718)
The German government hoped, after it won the war, to
hold a pan-European conference involving even neutral countries like
Switzerland, Ireland, Portugal and Spain, for an overall European policy so the
Jews could not simply move into another country in Europe after being removed
from others. Hitler was adamant on this point. (23-5719, 5720)
