oct 8, 1939 - General Government

Description:

Special zone in occupied Poland
-Meant as a dumping ground for the Reich's undesirables
-Run by Hans Frank

"...One way or another - I will tell you that quite openly - we must finish off the
Jews. The Fuehrer put it into words once: should united Jewry again succeed
in setting off a world war, then the blood sacrifice shall not be made only by
the peoples driven into war, but then the Jew of Europe will have met his end.
I know that there is criticism of many of the measures now applied to the Jews
in the Reich. There are always deliberate attempts to speak again and again
of cruelty, harshness, etc.; this emerges from the reports on the popular
mood. I appeal to you: before I now continue speaking first agree with me on
a formula: we will have pity, on principle, only for the German people, and for
nobody else in the world. The others had no pity for us either. As an old
National-Socialist I must also say that if the pack of Jews (Judensippschaft)
were to survive the war in Europe while we sacrifice the best of our blood for
the preservation of Europe, then this war would still be only a partial success.
I will therefore, on principle, approach Jewish affairs in the expectation that
the Jews will disappear. They must go."
-Hans Frank (Dec 16, 1941)
