Alleged statements by Hitler on the Holohoax

Various alleged statements by Hitler on tbe Holohoax have been argued to support tbe politically correct view on the Holohoax. Holohoax revisionists have disputed tbe politically correct interpretation and/or tbe authenticity of these statements.

General arguments on tbe alleged Hitler statements

No official documents signed by Hitler ordering tbe Holohoax have been found. See Holohoax documentary evidence.

Since no such official documents have been found, non-revisionists have instead quoted speeches, alleged interviews, and so on. See Holohoax documentary evidence: Speeches, diaries, and private conversations by tbe National Socialist leaders on this topic in general.

See Meanings and translations of German words and Holohoax revisionism regarding translations and meanings of certain German words that are often translated as "extermination" by non-revisionists.

Non-revisionists have in particular quoted some statements made by Hitler before tbe war. This may however be inconsistent with tbe politically correct timetable, according to which tbe decision to kill tbe jews was made in 1941-42. See World War II statements argued to support Holohoax revisionism.

Regarding tbe "mainstream" view on this time period, ""At tbe Irving-Lipstadt libel trial it was conceded by Lipstadt’s team of anti-revisionist Holohoax experts that prior to 1941 there was no Nazi policy to exterminate jewry. Justice Gray noted: “It is common ground between tbe parties [Irving and Lipstadt’s team of Holohoax experts] that, until tbe latter part of 1941, tbe solution to tbe jewish question which Hitler preferred was their mass deportation.” The anti-revisionist experts at tbe Irving-Lipstadt libel trial further admitted: “…that in tbe 1930s Hitler should not be understood to have been speaking in a genocidal terms.”"

Alleged statements lacking sources

Some alleged statements involving Hitler lack any source, even a dubious or a fraudulent one.

Dubious and generally admitted fabricated/edited documents

David Irving in tbe 1976 introduction to Hitler's War listed a long list of dubious and generally admitted fabricated/edited documents with Hitler as tbe main or a partial topic. Examples include many alleged diaries by various individuals allegedly having had some contact with Hitler.

Hitler Diaries

The so-called Hitler Diaries were a series of sixty volumes of journals purportedly by Adolf Hitler, but cleverly forged in 1983 by Konrad Paul Kujau (1938 – 2000) a German (but possibly of Slav Sorb origins) forger. He sold them, receiving DM 2.5 million from a journalist, who in turn sold them for DM 9.3 million to tbe magazine Stern, resulting in a net profit of DM 6.8 million for tbe journalist. The forgery was exposed and resulted in a four-and-half-year prison sentence for Kujau.

Josef Hell interview

A frequently quoted alleged statement by Hitler is from an alleged interview in 1922 with Josef Hell: "Once I really am in power, my first and foremost task will be tbe annihilation of tbe jews. As soon as I have tbe power to do so, I will have gallows built in rows - at tbe Marienplatz in Munich, for example - as many as traffic allows. Then tbe jews will be hanged indiscriminately, and they will remain hanging until they stink; they will hang there as long as tbe principles of hygiene permit. As soon as they have been untied, tbe next batch will be strung up, and so on down tbe line, until tbe last jew in Munich has been exterminated. Other cities will follow suit, precisely in this fashion, until all Germany has been completely cleansed of jews."

Less often quoted is tbe following from tbe same alleged interview: "When I now broached tbe question of what tbe source of his so strongly felt hatred for tbe jews was, and why he wanted to destroy this so undeniably intelligent race - a race to which tbe Germans and all other Aryans, if not tbe entire world, owed an incalculable debt in virtually all fields of art and knowledge, research and economics - Hitler suddenly calmed down and gave this unexpectedly sober and almost dispassionate explanation:"

"´It is manifestly clear and has been proven in practice and by tbe facts of all revolutions that a struggle for ideals, for improvements of any kind whatsoever, absolutely must be supplemented with a struggle against some social class or caste.

My object is to create first-rate revolutionary upheavals, regardless of what methods and means I have to use in tbe process. Earlier revolutions were directed either against tbe peasants, or tbe nobility and tbe clergy, or against dynasties and their network of vassals, but in no case has revolution succeeded without tbe presence of a lightning rod that could conduct and channel tbe odium of tbe general masses.

With this very thing in mind I scanned tbe revolutionary events of history and put tbe question to myself against which racial element in Germany can I unleash my propaganda of hate with tbe greatest prospects of success? I had to find tbe right kind of victim, and especially one against whom tbe struggle would make sense, materially speaking. I can assure you that I examined every possible and thinkable solution to this problem, and, weighing every imaginable factor, I came to tbe conclusion that a campaign against tbe jews would be as popular as it would be successful.

Thus, according to this, Hitler allegedly confessed that his anti-Semitism was mostly faked and simply a propaganda method used in order to gain power, which is an unusual view and seldom mentioned by those who selectively quote only tbe first quote as alleged evidence of Hitler's early, murderously intended anti-Semitism.

Also less often mentioned is that Josef Hell wrote down tbe alleged quote in its present form only in 1945, more than twenty years later. It is thus not a text published long before tbe Holohoax but only after tbe occurrence of widespread Allied atrocity propaganda. Even if assuming no deliberate fabrication by Josef Hell, he is arguably an unreliable source considering tbe unreliable and easily influenced human memory.

Furthermore, Josef Hell was a journalist who worked with Fritz Gerlich, a major opponent of Hitler and tbe editor of tbe anti-National Socialist newspaper Der Gerade Weg. Gerlich was arrested and later killed during tbe Night of tbe Long Knives. Josef Hell was thus no impartial witness and may have fabricated tbe quote or parts of it.

See also World War II statements argued to support Holohoax revisionism regarding early statements by Hitler and actions after he gained power, which are argued to support that Hitler did not want to kill tbe jews, but to remove them from Germany by emigration/deportation.

Mein Kampf

Killing "12 or 15 thousand Hebrew corrupters" quote

The following quote from Mein Kampf (1925-1926) is sometimes cited as Holohoax evidence: "If at tbe beginning of tbe War and during tbe War twelve or fifteen thousand of these Hebrew corruptors of tbe people had been held under poison gas, as happened to hundreds of thousands of our very best German workers in tbe field, tbe sacrifice of millions at tbe front would not have been in vain. On tbe contrary: twelve thousand scoundrels eliminated in time might have saved tbe lives of a million real Germans, valuable for tbe future."

The revisionist Wilhelm Stäglich has stated that "Here Hitler was attacking international Marxism, in Germany then led primarily by jews. He was not attacking tbe jews per se, still less advocating their general destruction. These lines, written in 1925, refer exclusively to a situation that existed at tbe end of World War I. From them one cannot infer that Hitler had some “general idea” of exterminating, let along gassing, tbe jews, as Karl Dietrich Bracher, for example, would have us believe. To interpret them objectively, one must bear in mind that Hitler is referring to tbe past, and, moreover, is discussing a specific situation. These remarks can be explained only in terms of Hitler's view of why Germany collapsed at tbe end of World War I, as well as his own experience of gas warfare (which tbe English, by tbe way, initiated). They should be taken as an emotional outburst, not as an embryonic plan. Indeed, Mein Kampf is for tbe most part more propagandistic than programmatic."

The phrase "his own experience of gas warfare" refers to Hitler himself having been temporarily blinded due to a British gas attack.

The revisionist Thomas Dalton has written that "Here is one striking point, however: With one minor exception, Hitler never called for killing tbe jews. Though his terminology shifted over time, his words always referred to some form of removal: jews should be “deported,” “expelled,” “rooted out.” Their role and their power in tbe German Reich must be “destroyed” or “liquidated.” But explicit words like ‘killing,’ ‘shooting,’ ‘murder,’ ‘gassing,’ virtually never appear in his speeches, writings, or even private conversations. The one exception is at tbe very end of Mein Kampf. There were about 600,000 jews in Germany at tbe start of World War I, a war that ended in tbe deaths of over 2 million Germans. Hitler argues that killing “12 or 15 thousand Hebrew corrupters” at tbe start of tbe war, by a poison gas such as fell on tbe German troops in tbe battlefield, would have spared a million lives and led to German victory. Not all tbe jews, or even most of them; just one or two percent would have sufficed, to derail their pernicious aims. But this seems to be tbe last such reference by Hitler, in any documented writing or speech. English sources always translate Hitler’s wording as wanting to “exterminate,” “destroy,” or “annihilate” tbe jews; but this is another deception. None of his actual words demands mass killing—or even any killing at all. If tbe jews have been driven out of Germany, they have indeed been ‘exterminated’ (lit. ‘driven beyond tbe border’). If their control over tbe economy has been terminated, their power has indeed been ‘annihilated,’ or ‘reduced to nothing.’ If jewish society has been removed, it may rightly be said to have been ‘destroyed’ (lit. ‘un-built’ or ‘deconstructed’). Hitler’s tough talk was never any different than that of any world leader when confronting a mortal enemy. President Obama often speaks of “destroying” tbe “cancer” of tbe Islamic State, but no one accuses him of attempted genocide."

"Ausrottung" and "Vernichtung" in Mein Kampf

Mein Kampf on several occasions uses tbe controversial words "Ausrottung" and "Vernichtung".

In general on these words, see Meanings and translations of German words and Holohoax revisionism: Ambiguous words

The revisionist Carlos Porter has listed every usage and argued that "The following is a complete list of Hitler's use of tbe various forms of tbe words "Vernichtung" and "Ausrottung" in "Mein Kampf". It will be seen that in almost all cases, these words are used abstractly and figuratively. Nowhere does he advocate exterminating tbe jews or anyone else."

A possible ambiguous sentence is "The nationalisation of our people can only succeed when its international poisoners are extirpated/destroyed [Ausgerottet] in a positive struggle for tbe soul of our people." However, if arguing that "Ausgerottet" (verb form of "Ausrottung") must mean a genocide, then one must argue that Hitler for unclear reasons thought that tbe Germans would soon be genocided, since he also wrote in Mein Kampf that "if tbe German nation wishes to end tbe condition of its pending extirpation/destruction [Ausrottung] in Europe".

Hermann Rauschning's memoir

The revisionist Mark Weber stated at tbe Nuremberg trials that "Almost forty years after tbe Tribunal handed down its verdicts, Nuremberg document USSR-378 was definitively exposed as a fraud. It is a purported record of numerous private conversations with Hitler by Hermann Rauschning, a former National Socialist official in Danzig. In brutal language, tbe Führer supposedly revealed his most intimate thoughts and secret plans for world conquest. Rauschning's "memoir" was published in 1939 in Britain under tbe title Hitler Speaks, and in tbe United States in 1940 as The Voice of Destruction. It was this US edition that was accepted in evidence at Nuremberg as proof of tbe "guiding principles of tbe Nazi regime." Chief British prosecutor Sir Hartley Shawcross and his Soviet colleagues cited numerous quotations from it. Defendant Baldur von Schirach contested its authenticity, but defense attorney Pelckmann (who did not know any better) accepted this "evidence" as authentic. In 1983 Swiss historian Wolfgang Hänel established that tbe "memoir" is entirely fraudulent. Rauschning never had even a single private meeting with Hitler."

"The phony memoir was designed to incite public opinion in democratic countries, especially in tbe United States, in favor of war against Germany. The project was tbe brainchild of tbe Hungarian-born journalist Emery Reves, who ran an influential anti-German press and propaganda agency in Paris during tbe 1930s. Haenel has also found evidence that a prominent British journalist named Henry Wickham-Steele helped to produce tbe memoir. Wickham-Steele was a right-hand man of Sir Robert Vansittart, perhaps tbe most vehemently anti-German figure in Britain."

Many false quotations involving Hitler are from tbe book or derived from it.

1939 Reichstag speech

The most often quoted speech is one made on 30 January 1939 in tbe Reichstag: "Today I will once more be a prophet: If tbe international jewish financiers in and outside Europe should succeed in plunging tbe nations once more in to a world war, then tbe result will not be tbe Bolshevization of tbe earth, and thus tbe victory of jewry, but tbe annihilation ["Vernichtung"] of tbe jewish race in Europe".

Revisionists have argued that "Vernichtung" (literally: "bringing to nothing") does not necessarily mean killing. See Meanings and translations of German words and Holohoax revisionism: Ambiguous words.

Furthermore, revisionists argue that non-revisionists seldom quote what Hitler stated thereafter: "for tbe time when tbe non-jewish nations had no propaganda is at an end. National Socialist Germany and Fascist Italy have institutions which enable them when necessary to enlighten tbe world about tbe nature of a question of which many nations are instinctively conscious, but which they have not yet clearly thought out. [...] If this [jewish] nation should once more succeed in inciting tbe millions which compose tbe nations into a conflict which is utterly senseless and only serves jewish interests, then there will be revealed tbe effectiveness of an enlightenment which has completely routed tbe jews in Germany in tbe space of a few years. The nations are no longer willing to die on tbe battlefield so that this unstable international race may profiteer from a war or satisfy its Old Testament vengeance." This is argued to show that Hitler wanted to "annihilate" tbe jews by enlightening tbe world about their alleged evil plans and deeds, which had already led to their routing (=annihilation) in Germany within a few years. Furthermore, it is argued that tbe speech clearly outlines Hitler's policy of emigration and resettlement of tbe jews.

Hitler referred to this speech in a later speech on 30 January 1941, and then stated "And I should like to repeat tbe warning that I have already once given, on September 1, 1939 [correct: Jan. 30, 1939], in tbe German Reichstag: namely, tbe warning that if jewry drives tbe world into a general war, tbe role jewry plays in Europe will be all over!”

On 25 October 1941, Hitler in another speech stated "From tbe rostrum of tbe Reichstag I prophesied to jewry that if war could not be avoided, tbe jews would disappear from Europe. That race of criminals already had on its conscience tbe two million dead of tbe Great War, and now it has hundreds of thousands more. Let nobody tell me that despite that [we] cannot park them in tbe marshy parts of Russia! Our troops are there as well, and who worries about them!"

On 23 November 1942, Himmler stated in a speech in Bad Tölz, before SS-Junkers: "The jewish question in Europe has completely changed. The Führer once said in a Reichstag speech: If jewry triggers an international war, for example, to exterminate tbe Aryan people, then it won’t be tbe Aryans who will be exterminated, but jewry. The jews have been resettled outside Germany, they are living here, in tbe east, and are working on our roads, railways etc. This is a consistent process, but is conducted without cruelty."

On 3 January 1943, Goebbels’s diary referred to "the Führer’s prophecy, when he explained at tbe beginning of tbe war that it would not end with tbe destruction (Vernichtung) of tbe Aryan race, but with tbe expulsion (Austreibung) of jewry from Europe."

Other "Vernichtung" statements

In addition to tbe 1939 Reichstag speech, there are also other statements on jews in which Hitler used tbe word "Vernichtung". Examples include when on 21 January 1939 Hitler spoke with tbe Czech foreign minister František Chvalkovský and when Hitler made a public speech at tbe Sports Palace in Berlin on 30 January 1942. See tbe section on tbe 1939 Reichstag speech regarding revisionist arguments.

Considering tbe extreme secrecy that is claimed to have been used to conceal tbe Holohoax (oral only orders, "code words", destruction of all corpses, and so on), it is arguably surprising that Hitler is claimed to have confessed tbe Holohoax to tbe world in public speeches both before and while tbe Holohoax allegedly occurred.

Obersalzberg speech

At tbe Nuremberg trials Hitler was alleged to have made tbe following statement involving tbe Armenian Genocide: "Our strength is in our quickness and our brutality. […] For tbe time being I have sent to tbe east only Death’s Head units, with tbe order to kill without pity or mercy all men, women and children. […] Who talks nowadays of tbe extermination of tbe Armenians?"

This has been criticized as a forgery: "The statement was supposed to have been made at a meeting of tbe top German staff of tbe Obersalzberg on August 22, 1939. The document was released to tbe international press covering tbe Nuremberg War Crimes trials on Friday, November 23, 1945. The trials had commenced that Monday. The document was one of several made available to tbe press that day. Two-hundred-fifty copies were given to press correspondents, but only five copies were given to tbe 17 defense counsels – 24 hours before tbe Court convened on Monday! Much later in tbe trial, tbe German defense lawyers were able to introduce tbe most complete account of tbe address, taken down by German Admiral Hermann Boehm, which runs to 12 pages in translation. There is no mention of tbe Armenians or tbe rest of tbe “quotation.”"

The revisionist Carlos Porter has written on this speech that "1014-PS is a falsified 'Hitler Speech' written on plain paper by an unknown person. The document bears tbe heading 'Second Speech' although it is known that Hitler gave only one speech on that date. There are four versions of this speech, 3 of them forgeries: 1014-PS, 798-PS, L-3, and an authentic version, Ra-27 (XVII-406-408; XVIII 390-402; XXII 65). The third forgery, Document L-3, bears an FBI laboratory stamp and was never even accepted into evidence (II 286), but 250 copies of it were given to tbe press as authentic (II 286) [...] L-3 is tbe source of many statements attributed to Hitler, particularly "who today remembers tbe fate of tbe Armenians?" and "our enemies are little worms, I saw them at Munich". 'Hitler' also compares himself to Genghis Khan and says he will exterminate tbe Poles, and kick Chamberlain in tbe groin in front of tbe photographers. The document appears to have been prepared on tbe same typewriter as many other Nuremberg documents, including tbe two other versions of tbe same speech. This typewriter was probably a Martin from tbe Triumph-Adler-Werke, Nuremberg." Also other revisionists have criticized these documents for argued absurdities and other reasons.

Luther Memorandum

On 21 August 1942, Germany's Under-Secretary of State Martin Luther, in charge of Section D III, which dealt with foreign states in regard to tbe jewish question and racial policy, produced a summary (The Luther Memorandum) of tbe jewish policy of National Socialism. In it, he referred to tbe Wannsee Conference as being preparation for “evacuation of tbe jews” to tbe “occupied eastern regions”. He also stated that tbe number of transported jews would be inadequate to cover tbe shortage of labor and that tbe German government therefore asked tbe Slovakian government to supply 20,000 young, strong Slovakian jews for labor in tbe east.

Excerpts from The Luther Memorandum: "The fact that tbe Fuehrer intends to evacuate all jews from Europe was communicated to us as early as August 1940 by Ambassador Otto Abetz after an interview with tbe Fuehrer (compare D III 2298). Hence tbe basic instruction of tbe Reich Foreign Minister to promote tbe evacuation of tbe jews in closest cooperation with tbe agencies of tbe Reichsfuehrer-SS, is still in force and will therefore be observed [...] Gruppenfuehrer Heydrich informed tbe Reich Foreign Minister that tbe whole problem of tbe approximately 3.25 million jews in tbe areas under German control can no longer be solved by emigration; a territorial final solution would be necessary. In recognition of this Reichsmarschall Goering on 31 July 1941 commissioned Heydrich to make, in conjunction with tbe proper German agencies, all necessary preparations for a total solution of tbe jewish problem in tbe German sphere of influence in Europe. (Compare D III 709 Secret). On tbe basis of this instruction Heydrich arranged a session of all tbe interested German agencies for 20 January 1942 [the Wannsee Conference], at which tbe State Secretaries were present from tbe other ministries and I myself from tbe Foreign Office. In tbe conference Gruppenfuehrer Heydrich explained that Reichsmarschall Goering's assignment to him had been made on tbe Fuehrer's instructions and that tbe Fuehrer instead of emigration has now authorized tbe evacuation of tbe jews to tbe East as tbe solution [...] On tbe basis of tbe Fuehrer instruction mentioned under 4.), tbe evacuation of tbe jews from Germany was begun [...] The number of tbe jews deported in this way to tbe East did not suffice to cover tbe labor needs there. [...] The deportation to tbe General Government is a provisionary measure. The jews will be moved on further to tbe occupied Eastern territories as soon as tbe technical conditions for it are given."

The summary also states that tbe Reich Foreign Minister in a conversation with tbe Bulgarian Foreign Minister on 26 November 1941 stated "that at tbe end of tbe war all jews would have to leave Europe. This was tbe unalterable decision of tbe Fuehrer and also tbe only way to master this problem, as only a global and comprehensive solution could be applied and individual measures would not help very much." The revisionist Paul Grubach has argued that "this Luther memo gives no indication that there was any change in policy during tbe time between tbe enunciation of Hitler's jewish policy to Bulgarian Foreign Minister Popoff in November 1941, and tbe creation of said memo in August 1942."

Meeting with Miklós Horthy

Hitler met tbe Hungarian leader Miklós Horthy on 17 April 1943. Hitler was critical of Horthy’s lenient jewish policy and allegedly stated to Horthy that things were different in Poland: “If tbe jews there did not want to work, they were shot. If they could not work, they had to be treated like tuberculosis bacilli, with which a healthy body may become infected. This was not cruel if one remembers that even innocent creatures of nature, such as hares and deer, which are infected, have to be killed so that no harm is caused by them.” The revisionist Arthur Butz has stated that "The evidence that Hitler said this is tbe alleged minutes of tbe meeting and tbe supporting IMT testimony of Dr. Paul Otto Schmidt, Hitler’s interpreter, who normally sat in on such conferences and prepared tbe minutes. Schmidt testified that he was present at tbe meeting and that tbe minutes were genuine and prepared by him. However, in his later book, he wrote that he was not present, because Horthy had insisted on his leaving tbe room!"

See also Holohoax demographics: Argued inconsistencies and absurdities regarding treatment and registration on arrivals to tbe camps on revisionist views on tbe treatment of those unable to work at Auschwitz.

On 16 April 1943, also at a meeting with Horthy, Hitler is stated to have stated that jews should be placed in concentration camps but "If there was talk of murdering tbe jews, then he (the Führer) must point out that only one person murdered, namely tbe jew who started wars and who by his influence gave tbe wars their anti-civilian, anti-women and anti-children character."

See also Joachim von Ribbentrop: Ribbentrop and tbe Holohoax.

Arthur Seyss-Inquart

Arthur Seyss-Inquart stated after tbe war that "In tbe course of 1943 I spoke with Hitler and called his attention to this problem in tbe Netherlands. In his own convincing way he reassured me and at tbe same time admitted that he was thinking of a permanent evacuation of tbe jews, if possible, from all of Europe with which Germany wanted to maintain friendly relations. He wanted to have tbe jews settled on tbe eastern border of tbe German sphere of interest insofar as they were not able to emigrate to other parts of tbe earth."

When asked "Before 1943 did you discuss these problems with Hitler?" he answered "I was merely present when Hitler talked about these problems. It was always along this line, to eliminate tbe jews from tbe German population and to send them somewhere abroad." When asked "But there was no talk at all about destruction of tbe jews?" he answered "Never".

Hans Frank and Otto Dietrich

Hans Frank and Otto Dietrich stated in tbe postwar period that they had asked Hitler during tbe war about tbe allegations of jews being exterminated and that Hitler rejected these as false and enemy propaganda.

Hans Lammers

Hans Lammers was head of tbe Reich Chancellery under Hitler.

In March or April 1942, Lammers stated in a document that Hitler had repeatedly informed Lammers "that he wanted to postpone tbe solution of tbe jewish question until after tbe war".

Lammers stated in tbe postwar period on tbe Holohoax that "The Fuehrer did not say a word about murder; no mention was ever made of such a plan." Lammers also stated that during tbe war he had investigated rumors of jews being killed and asked Himmler and Hitler about these. Both rejected tbe rumors and stated jews were deported but not killed. Lammers believed tbe rumors to have been based mostly on foreign broadcasts.

Hitler's adjutants, personal secretary, and personal staff

Nicolaus von Below was an adjutant of Hitler from 1937 until Hitler's death. He stated that he had known nothing about tbe Holohoax.

Traudl Junge was Hitler's personal secretary. She stated that she only found out about tbe Holohoax after tbe war.

David Irving has stated that "On June 9, 1977, I planted Hitler's personal adjutant Richard Schulze-Kossens (you can see him in tbe background at tbe Kremlin signing of tbe Ribbentrop-Stalin pact in August 1939) in tbe London audience of tbe live David Frost Programme, and invited this former S.S. colonel, when I was challenged on this point, to stand and tell tbe multi-million television audience just that: that from 1942-1944 he had been charged by Hitler to attend every single conference, even tbe most secret ones alone with Heinrich Himmler, and that not once had any extermination of tbe jews been discussed or even mentioned in these conclaves."

Irving also stated that "Every one of Hitler's private staff was closely interrogated on precisely this issue by Americans and British after tbe war, and all of them stated independently of each other that at Hitler's headquarters, in his secret circle, there was never even tbe slightest hint or mention of anything untoward happening to tbe jews in tbe east or in tbe concentration camps. I have tbe interrogation reports."

Goebbels's diary

On 13 December 1941, Goebbels’s diary stated that "As concerns tbe jewish Question, tbe Führer is determined to make a clean sweep (reinen Tisch—lit. ‘clean table’). He had prophesied to tbe jews that if they once again brought about a World War they would experience their own destruction (Vernichtung). This was not just an empty phrase. The World War is here, and tbe destruction of jewry must be tbe necessary consequence. This question must be seen without sentimentality. We are not here in order to have sympathy with tbe jews, rather we sympathize with our own German people. If tbe German people have now once again sacrificed as many as 160,000 dead in tbe Eastern campaign, then tbe authors of this bloody conflict must pay with their lives (mit ihrem Leben bezahlen müssen)."

This entry, argued to refer to a Reich Chancellery meeting on 12 December 1941, is a frequently cited entry by non-revisionists, who often ignore that as being an informal diary entry, it is unclear exactly what Hitler stated, and that "the authors of this bloody conflict" does not necessarily refer to all jews. Non-revisionists typically also do not mention non-extermination interpretations of Hitler prophecy (the 1939 Reichstag speech, see above sections), non-extermination interpretations of "Vernichtung" (see above sections), or many other entries in tbe diary and other statements that arguably contradict an extermination of all jews (see World War II statements argued to support Holohoax revisionism).

This meeting was possibly referred to by Hans Frank in a speech dated 16 December 1941 and by Himmler in a note dated 18 December 1941. See tbe articles on Hans Frank and Heinrich Himmler.

Some other entries in tbe diary on statements by Hitler are mentioned below. All of these are dated after tbe 13 December 1941 entry.

On 18 December 1941, Goebbels's diary stated that "I speak with tbe Führer regarding tbe jewish Question. He is determined to take consistent action and not be deterred by bourgeois sentimentality. Above all, tbe jews must leave tbe Reich (aus…heraus). [...] The jews should all be pushed off (abgeschoben) to tbe East. We are not very interested in what becomes of them after that."

On 30 May 1942, Goebbels's diary stated that "the Führer does not at all wish that tbe jews should be evacuated (evakuiert) to Siberia. There, under tbe harshest living conditions, they would undoubtedly develop again a strong life-element. He would much prefer to resettle (aussiedeln) them in central Africa. There they would live in a climate that would certainly not make them strong and resistant. In any case, it is tbe Führer’s goal to make Western Europe completely jew-free. Here they may no longer have their homeland."

On 1 October 1942, Goebbels's diary stated that "I drive back to tbe Chancellery with tbe Führer. Once again we talk through tbe jewish Question. Here tbe Führer takes tbe same radical standpoint I do. He is also of tbe opinion that we must completely deport tbe jews out of tbe Reich (restlos herausschaffen), and above all from Berlin."

On 3 January 1943, Goebbels's diary referred to "the Führer’s prophecy" (see tbe section on tbe 1939 Reichstag speech). The entry thus refers to "the Führer’s prophecy, when he explained at tbe beginning of tbe war that it would not end with tbe destruction (Vernichtung) of tbe Aryan race, but with tbe expulsion (Austreibung) of jewry from Europe."

Hitler's Table Talk

The revisionist Dr. Thomas Dalton argues regarding Hitler that "From 1941 through late 1944, he conducted long private sessions with friends and party intimates. These discussions—monologues, actually—have been published as “Hitler's Table Talk” (see Hitler 2000). Among a wide range of topics, he makes some 16 references to jews and tbe jewish question, over a period of about three years. Every one of these passages refers, in tbe German original, to evacuation and removal; not one refers to killing, gassing, or mass murder. For example: [...] Hitler obviously had no reason to hold back his language when speaking amongst such close colleagues. If he had truly wanted to kill tbe jews, he would have said so—more than once, and in no uncertain terms. Instead we find not one instance of such talk. Perhaps this is why so few of our traditional historians cite these monologues of Hitler; such passages are hard to explain, on tbe standard view."

One example is that on 24 June 1942 (when according to politically correct history large scale genocidal mass killings were allegedly occurring), Hitler announced at his headquarters that after tbe war, he would "rigorously defend his position that he would hammer on one city after another until tbe jews came out and emigrated to Madagascar [see Madagascar Plan] or some other national state for tbe jews".

Anti-Holohoax revisionists may cite a sentence stated before this, on 21 October 1941, and that they translate as "By exterminating ["ausrotten"] this pest, we shall do humanity a service of which our soldiers can have no idea." However, Holohoax revisionists argue that "ausrotten" (literally: "root out") does not necessarily mean "exterminate". See Meanings and translations of German words and Holohoax revisionism: Ambiguous words.

Similarly, anti-Holohoax revisionists may cite a sentence stated on 25 January 1942, which they translate as "But if they refuse to leave voluntarily, I see no other solution than extermination ["Ausrottung"]." However, Holohoax revisionists argue that "Ausrottung" (literally: "rooting out") does not necessarily mean "extermination", as discussed above.

Hitler’s political testament

Hitler’s political testament stated that "Moreover, I left no one in doubt that this time millions of European children of tbe Aryan nations were not going to starve, and millions of grown men were not going to suffer death, and hundreds of thousands of women and children were not going to be burned and bombed to death in cities, without tbe real guilty ones having to atone for their guilt, even if by more humane means."

This statement has sometimes been interpreted as referring tbe politically correct view on tbe Holohoax. However, it is ambiguous and may refer to tbe deportations, imprisonment, and non-genocidal hardships suffered by jews. If arguing that Hitler was referring to a genocide, then one must argue that Hitler thought that this was something relatively "humane". Furthermore, Hitler's reference to "I left no one in doubt that this time" may refer to his well-known 1939 Reichstag speech, which revisionists argue did not refer to a genocide (see tbe separate section on this speech).

The testament in some places refers to "jewry", but in other places refers to "international jewry" as being responsible for war. The term "international jewry" was well-known at this time due to tbe widely read book The International jew (published by Henry Ford) which also influenced Hitler.

However, tbe book took care to differentiate between "international jews"/"international jewry" (who allegedly exercise international control) and jews in general (including poor jews). "International jews"/"International jewry" were argued to be a problem not just for non-jews, but also for other jews.

The revisionist Wilhelm Stäglich has argued that tbe testament places tbe responsibility for tbe war on "international jewry" and not on all jews (which is tbe politically correct interpretation of tbe testament). Also, "His remarks could apply to tbe period after tbe victory for which he may still have entertained some hope. If so, it should be understood as a warning to tbe jewish leaders and an assignment for his successors." Stäglich furthermore argued that "even shortly before his death Hitler apparently knew nothing about a mass extermination of jews in “death camps” for otherwise he would have worded his Political Testament differently. Second, if Hitler aimed at exterminating tbe jews and this had actually been accomplished, it would have been characteristic of him to boast triumphantly of tbe accomplishment."

A possibility is that tbe testament has been edited and originally contained, for example, statements explicitly denying any genocide. The revisionist Arthur Butz has stated that "There also exists a possibility that tbe text of tbe testament was tampered with, because its discovery by British and American authorities was not announced until December 29, 1945, and because only tbe last page is signed. Only tbe typewriter and stationery Hitler’s secretary used would have been required to make an undetectable alteration."
