Chapter LXIII: Part I: , page 969, signed by Frick and Hess) (2)

“Summarizing, it can be said that the kind of solution of the
Jewish problem applied in the Ukraine which obviously was based
on the ideological theories as a matter of principle had the
following results:

“(_a_) Elimination of a part of partly superfluous eaters in the
cities.

“(_b_) Elimination of a part of the population which hated us
undoubtedly.

“(_c_) Elimination of badly needed tradesmen who were in many
instances indispensable even in the interests of the armed
forces.

“(_d_) Consequences as to foreign policy—propaganda which are
obvious.

“(_e_) Bad effects on the troops which in any case get indirect
contact with the executions.

“(_f_) Brutalizing effect on the formations which carry out the
execution—regular police.” (_3257-PS_)

Lest it be thought that these conditions existed only in the East, the official Netherlands government report by the Commissioner for Repatriation as relates similar treatment of the Jews in the West (_1726-PS_). The German measures taken against the Dutch Jews—discriminatory decrees, anti-semitic demonstrations, burning of synagogues, purging of Jews from the economic life of their country, food restrictions, forced labor, concentration camp confinement, deportation, and death—all these measures follow the same pattern that was effected throughout Nazi-occupied Europe. The official Netherlands report states that full Jews, liable to deportation, numbered 140,000. The total number of actual Jewish deportees was 117,000, representing more than eighty-three per cent of all the Jews in the Netherlands. Of these, 115,000 were deported to Poland for slave labor, and after departure all trace of them was lost. Regardless of victory or defeat to Germany, the Jew was doomed. It was the expressed intent of the Nazi state that whatever the German fate might be the Jew would not survive. (_1726-PS_)

A Top Secret message from the commandant of the SIPO and SD for the Radom District, addressed to SS Hauptsturmfuehrer Thiel on the subject, “Clearance of Prisons,” reads as follows:

“I again stress the fact that the number of inmates of the SIPO
and SD prisons must be kept as low as possible. In the present
situation, particularly, those suspects handed over by the civil
police need only be subjected to a short, formal interrogation,
provided there are no serious grounds for suspicion. They are
then to be sent by the quickest route to a concentration camp,
should no court-martial proceeding be necessary or should there
be no question of discharge. Please keep the number of
discharges very low. Should the situation at the front
necessitate it, early preparations are to be made for the total
clearance of prisons. Should the situation develop suddenly in
such a way that it is impossible to evacuate the prisoners, the
prison inmates are to be liquidated and their bodies disposed of
as far as possible (burning, blowing up the building, etc.). If
necessary, Jews still employed in the armament industry or on
other work are to be dealt with in the same way.

“The liberation of prisoners or Jews by the enemy, be it the WB
[perhaps means ‘West-Bund,’ or ‘Western Ally’] or the Red Army,
must be avoided under all circumstances, nor may they fall into
their hands alive.” (_L-53_)

(3) _Mass Disposal of Jews in Concentration Camps._ The concentration camps were utilized to dispose of literally millions of Jews, who died by mass shooting, gas, poison, starvation, and other means. The part which the concentration camps played in the annihilation of the Jewish people is indicated in an official Polish report on Auschwitz Concentration Camp (_L-161_). In Auschwitz during July 1944 Jews were killed at the rate of 12,000 daily:

“* * * During July 1944, they were being liquidated at the rate
of 12,000 Hungarian Jews daily, and as the crematory could not
deal with such numbers, many bodies were thrown into large pits
and covered with quick lime.” (_L-161_)

The official Polish Government Commission Report on the Investigation of German crimes in Poland describes the concentration camp at Treblinka in these terms:

“* * * In March 1942, the Germans began to erect another camp,
Treblinka B, in the neighborhood of Treblinka A, intended to
become a place of torment for Jews.

“The erection of this camp was closely connected with the German
plans aiming at a complete destruction of the Jewish population
in Poland which necessitated the creation of a machinery by
means of which the Polish Jews could be killed in large numbers.
Late in April 1942, the erection of the first three chambers was
finished in which these general massacres were to be performed
by means of steam. Somewhat later the erection of the real death
building was finished, which contains ten death chambers. It was
opened for wholesale murders early in autumn 1942 * * *.”
(_3311-PS_)

The report of the Polish commission describes graphically the procedure for extermination within the camp:

“* * * The average number of Jews dealt with at the camp in
summer 1942 was about two railway transports daily, but there
were days of much higher efficiency. From autumn 1942 this
number was falling.

“After unloading in the siding all victims were assembled in one
place where men were separated from women and children. In the
first days of the existence of the camp the victims were made to
believe that after a short stay in the camp, necessary for
bathing and disinfection, they would be sent farther east, for
work. Explanations of this sort were given by SS men who
assisted at the unloading of the transports and further
explanations could be read in notices stuck up on the walls of
the barracks. But later, when more transports had to be dealt
with, the Germans dropped all pretenses and only tried to
accelerate the procedure.

“All victims had to strip off their clothes and shoes, which
were collected afterwards, whereupon all victims, women and
children first, were driven into the death chambers. Those too
slow or too weak to move quickly were driven on by rifle-butts,
by whipping and kicking, often by Sauer himself. Many slipped
and fell, the next victims pressed forward and stumbled over
them. Small children were simply thrown inside. After being
filled up to capacity the chambers were hermetically closed and
steam was let in. In a few minutes all was over. The Jewish
menial workers had to remove the bodies from the platform and to
bury them in mass graves. By and by, as new transports arrived,
the cemetery grew, extending in eastern direction.

“From reports received, it may be assumed that several hundred
thousands of Jews have been exterminated in Treblinka.”
(_3311-PS_)

An official United States government report issued by the Executive Office of the President of the United States, War Refugee Board, on the German camps at Auschwitz and Birkenau, sets forth the number of Jews gassed in Birkenau in the two-year period between April 1942 and April 1944. The figure printed in this report is not a typographical error. The number is 1,765,000. (_L-22_)

5. RESULTS OF THE EXTERMINATION PROGRAM

The huge scale of the Jewish eliminations is also reflected in the bookkeeping and statistics of the Germans themselves. The 16 December 1941 entry in the diary of Hans Frank contains these figures:

“The Jews for us also represent extraordinarily malignant
gluttons.

“We have now approximately 2,500,000 of them in General
Government—perhaps with the Jewish mixtures, and everything
that goes with it, 3,500,000 Jews.” (_2233-D-PS_)

On 25 January 1944, three years and one month later, Frank wrote in his diary these words:

“At the present time we still have in the General Government
perhaps 100,000 Jews.” (_2233-F-PS_)

Thus, in this period of three years, according to the records of the then Governor-General of Occupied Poland, between 2,400,000 and 3,400,000 Jews had been eliminated.

The total number of Jews who died by Nazi hands can never be definitely ascertained. It is known, however, that 4 million Jews died in concentration camps, and that 2 million Jews were killed by the State Police in the East, making a total of 6 million murdered Jews. The source of these figures is Adolph Eichmann, Chief of the Jewish Section of the Gestapo. The figures are contained in an affidavit made by Dr. Wilhelm Hoettl, Deputy Group Leader of the Foreign Section of the Security Section, AMT VI, of the RSHA. Hoettl, in his affidavit, states as follows:

“Approximately 4 million Jews had been killed in the various
concentration camps, while an additional 2 million met death in
other ways, the major part of which were shot by operational
squads of the Security Police during the campaign against
Russia.” (_2738-PS_)

Hoettl describes the source of his information as follows:

“According to my knowledge, Eichmann was at that time the leader
of the Jewish Section of the Gestapo, and in addition to that he
had been ordered by Himmler to get a hold of the Jews in all the
European countries and to transport them to Germany. Eichmann
was then very much impressed with the fact that Rumania had
withdrawn from the war in those days. Moreover, he had come to
me to get information about the military situation which I
received daily from the Hungarian Ministry of War and from the
Commander of the Waffen-SS in Hungary. He expressed his
conviction that Germany had now lost the war and that he
personally had no further chance. He knew that he would be
considered one of the main war criminals by the United Nations,
since he had millions of Jewish lives on his conscience. I asked
him how many that was, to which he answered that although the
number was a great Reich secret, he would tell me since I, as a
historian, would be interested, and that he would probably not
return anyhow from his command in Rumania. He had, shortly
before that, made a report to Himmler, as the latter wanted to
know the exact number of Jews who had been killed.” (_2738-PS_)
