Abstract:
Reexamines German documents which have been cited in historical debates on the development of the Nazi policy to annihilate the Jews: Hitler’s memorandum to Göring on the Four-Year-Plan of August 1936; the discussion in the Air Ministry, under Göring’s chairmanship, on 12 November 1938; Himmler’s memorandum to Hitler on 25 May 1940; and Göring’s directive to Heydrich on 31 July 1941. Argues that Hitler was directly and personally involved in decisions regarding policy toward the Jews. Initially there was no plan of mass murder, just a consistent desire to get rid of the most ardent enemies of Germany, one way or another. When emigration and expulsion could not accomplish the desired effect, murder became the goal. Contends that Göring’s letter to Heydrich on 31 July 1941 contains Hitler’s instruction to initiate the Final Solution, and is in fact the document historians have been looking for since the end of the war.
