Abstract:
Relates to different opinions, which were expressed at the Stuttgart conference of historians held in May 1984, in regard to Hitler's direct involvement in the Final Solution. Surveys Nazi sources which recorded Hitler's concrete positions and orders concerning the fate of the Jews (e.g. the treatment of "Mischlinge", the status of Jews in the Greater Reich, the deportation of Hungarian Jews). Emphasizes Hitler's great concern for secrecy about the Nazi policies regarding Europe's Jews. Refuting the arguments presented of Hitler's passive role in the Final Solution, concludes that he actually monitored and controlled the liquidation of the Jewish population.
