particularly in the eastern territories. We have been able to ascertain
that such representations – usually in a distorted or exaggerated
manner – had been conveyed by members of the various units
operating in the east who had, themselves, been able to observe such
measures.
It is conceivable that not all members of our people will be able
to comprehend the necessity of such measures, those members in
particular who are not in a position to form their own opinion of the
horrors perpetrated by the Bolsheviks.
In order to counter the spread of such rumors which often have
an intentionally tendentious character, we hereby furnish the information
found below in an effort to reflect the present state of the situation:
For the past 2000 years, a fruitless fight against Jewry has been
going on. It was only after 1933 that we have been able to look for
ways and means allowing us to bring about a complete separation of
Jewry from the German host body. The portions of the solution carried
out so far can be described as follows:
1) The repulsion of the Jews from the various domains of life of
the German people. The laws passed by the legislature are to constitute
the foundation guaranteeing that future generations, too, will be
shielded from a renewed onslaught of the opponent.
2) The effort to expel the opponent completely from the territory
of the Reich. In view of the fact that the living space available to the
German people is very small, it was hoped that this problem could
be solved by an accelerated emigration of the Jews.
Since the beginning of the war in 1939, emigration has become
increasingly more difficult; at the same time, the economic space of
the German people steadily increased in size compared to its living
space so that, at the present time, a complete elimination through
emigration is no longer possible in view of the large number of Jews
present in this [economic] space. It is to be expected that already the
coming generation will no longer perceive this problem neither as
vividly nor as clearly [as we do] on the basis of their own experience.
Also, the matter has been set in motion and must be settled;
hence, the problem as a whole must be resolved by the present generation.
