256 Carlo Mattogno, Jürgen Graf: Treblinka<br />

“[…] these 16 million foreign peoples, whose numbers were once made<br />

even larger by an enormous number of Jews, who of course now have emigrated<br />

or been brought to the east. […]” 746<br />

On December 16, 1943, in a speech in Weimar given before the commanders<br />

of the Kriegsmarine (German navy), Himmler maintained that: 747<br />

“Such and so many Jews were brought to the east. Migrations of peoples<br />

that we have given great names to in history have taken place at this<br />

breakneck speed. […]”<br />

On July 29, 1942, the Papal Nuncio in France, Monsignore Valerio Valeri,<br />

wrote from Vichy to the Secretary of State, Cardinal Luigi Maglione: 748<br />

“Around the twentieth of this month the occupation authorities in Paris,<br />

using the French police, arrested approximately 12,000 Jews. These were<br />

then for the most part temporarily interned in Vélodrome [749] d’Hiver. The<br />

majority of these are non-Aryans of foreign origin, above all Poles,<br />

Czechs, etc., who are designated for deportation into the Ukraine.”<br />

On September 7, 1942, the “Kommandeur no. 12” of the Einsatzkommando<br />

12 of Einsatzgruppe D in Kislovodsk, Ukraine, issued the following order: 750<br />

“To all Jews. For the purpose of settlement in the less populated regions<br />

of the Ukraine, all Jews who live in the city of Kislovodsk and those<br />

Jews who have no fixed residence are obliged to report on Wednesday, the<br />

9th of September 1942, at 5 o’clock in the morning, Berlin time (6 o’clock<br />

according to Moscow time) to the freight train station.<br />

Each Jew is to take along a package of 20 kg or under of food for 2<br />

days. Additional food will be secured at the stations by the German authorities.<br />

It is suggested that only the most necessary things be taken<br />

along: valuables, money, clothing, and blankets. Each family is to seal up<br />

its apartment, and on the key a slip of paper should be fastened, on which<br />

the first name, family name, the occupation, and the address of the family<br />

members are stated. This key with the slip of paper is to be handed over to<br />

the German detachment at the freight station. Due to the difficulties in<br />

transportation, bringing freight over 20 kg and furniture is impossible. For<br />

better preparation and transportation, each family is to pack up and seal<br />

its property, its linens etc. and in doing so declare the name of the owner.<br />

The Kommandantur [headquarters] no. 12 is responsible for maintaining<br />

the materials in undamaged condition.<br />

Whoever makes an attack on the property of these Jews or attempts to<br />

force his way into a Jewish apartment will be shot immediately.<br />

Baptized Jews are also subject to evacuation.<br />
