- America.
- Even America, thank you...
:17:03
...where Jews constantly whisper
in Roosevelt's ear, still turns them away.
:17:08
Then, in acquiring Poland,
we acquired two and a half million more.
:17:13
By last July,
we were met with a new situation...
:17:15
...we would, in very short order,
be acquiring some...
:17:18
...five million Jews
as we conquered Russia.
:17:22
The dimensions of this problem
have magnified astoundingly.
:17:25
Five million.
:17:27
Exactly the problem. Our ghettos are full...
:17:30
All those ghettos, yes, with Polish names.
:17:35
Fully occupied, but hold for now,
please, if you would.
:17:38
At that time, last July,
confronting this new situation...
:17:41
...Reichsmarshal Göring
prepared a directive, you have a copy.
:17:44
The operative words,
if you'll permit me to read:
:17:47
"I hereby charge you
with making all preparations...
:17:50
"...in regard to organizational
and financial matters...
:17:53
"...for bringing about a complete solution
of the Jewish question...
:17:57
"...in the German sphere of influence
in Europe."
:17:59
Now, for that, I read the cleansing...
:18:02
...of the entire continent of Europe.
:18:05
You see, the word "cleansing"...
:18:07
An accurate word, I think. If I may go on...
:18:10
...in the second paragraph:
:18:12
"Wherever other governmental agencies
are involved...
:18:15
"...these are to cooperate with you..."
I hope. So on, so on.
:18:19
"...as necessary for the accomplishment...
:18:21
"...of the desired solution
of the Jewish question."
:18:25
This is our mandate, all of us.
:18:29
May I say, in fairness...
:18:31
...the Jewish question falls
within the responsibilities...
:18:33
...of my department, the Reich Chancellery,
and we received no directive...
:18:37
If you will give me a moment or two.
:18:39
- The document is in your folder?
- Yes, it is in your folder.
:18:43
I'm sure it is.
:18:44
Finally, what has happened
since that directive?
:18:47
Succinctly, now...
:18:48
...we are standing still in Russia,
the Americans have joined the war.
:18:50
Both events are a further drain
on our military, our economy...
:18:54
...our manpower, our food supply.
:18:56
We cannot store these Jews.
