Arthur R. Butz – The Hoax Of The Twentieth Century

Chapter 7:
The Final Solution
The German Policy and the Wannsee Conference
We have shown that the exterminations are a propaganda hoax, i.e., we have
shown what did not happen to the Jews. To complete our study, we should show
what did, in fact, happen to the Jews.
The problem of what happened to European Jews is a fairly easy one, if one
wishes only a general answer, but a very difficult, indeed probably impossible
problem, if one demands statistical accuracy. To answer the question in general,
all one need do is consult the relevant German documents. What the German
leaders were saying to each other about their policy is obviously the first authority
one should consult.
The general nature of German Jewish policy is very simple to discover; it is all
set out in NMT volume 13. The U.S. Prosecution in the Wilhelmstrasse Case presented
a document, NG-2586, which consists of several parts, each part being
some document important in the development of German Jewish policy. In fact,
one part, NG-2586-J, is a summary of the other parts and, thus, a handy summary
of the policy. One can do no better than simply reproduce the text, a memo by
Martin Luther (Horst Wagner’s predecessor), dated August 21, 1942: 365
“1. The principle of the German Jewish policy after the seizure of power
consisted in promoting with all means the Jewish emigration. For this purpose,
in 1939, Field Marshall Göring in his capacity as Plenipotentiary for the
Four Year Plan established a Reich Central Office for Jewish Emigration, and
the direction was given to SS Lieutenant General Heydrich in his capacity as
chief of the Security Police. The Foreign Office is represented in the committee
of the Reich Central Office. The draft of a letter to this effect to the Chief of the
Security Police was approved by the Reich Foreign Minister as 83/24 B in
February 1939.
2. The present war gives Germany the opportunity and also the duty of
solving the Jewish problem in Europe. In consideration of the favorable
course of the war against France, D III proposed in July 1940 as a solution –
the removal of all Jews from Europe and the demanding of the Island of
Madagascar from France as a territory for the reception of the Jews. The
Reich Foreign Minister has basically agreed to the beginning of the preliminary
work for the deportation of the Jews from Europe. This should be done in
close cooperation with the offices of the Reichsführer-SS (compare D III
200/40).
