The Race and Settlement Office 610 00:45:51,313 --> 00:45:54,907 sorts Poles into four categories. 611 00:45:54,971 --> 00:45:57,777 The majority will vanish alongside the Jews. 612 00:45:57,841 --> 00:46:02,978 A minority will be used as a labor force for those construction projects 613 00:46:03,042 --> 00:46:05,831 with which the Führer will imprint forever 614 00:46:05,895 --> 00:46:09,797 the stamp of German culture on the new Europe. 615 00:46:09,861 --> 00:46:12,509 3) Finally, annihilation. 616 00:46:12,579 --> 00:46:17,127 Birth control will strike at the roots of what's left 617 00:46:17,191 --> 00:46:22,266 so that they wither and die. Finish the Poland. 618 00:46:22,832 --> 00:46:28,329 Telephone. The Reichsführer-SS at Headquarters. 619 00:46:29,554 --> 00:46:34,498 Gentlemen, we still have two complex topics to discuss. 620 00:46:35,713 --> 00:46:38,824 Since these will not concern all of you 621 00:46:38,888 --> 00:46:43,123 I suggest we refresh ourselves with a small, informal buffet. 622 00:46:48,835 --> 00:46:51,246 Neat and clean.

These problems will be taken off your hands. 639 00:47:58,465 --> 00:48:03,321 The Foreign Office gets rid of them and dumps them on us! 640 00:48:03,385 --> 00:48:08,148 Don't attack me. If not for me, your problems would be bigger. 641 00:48:08,212 --> 00:48:12,544 Ah, ok? - Yes. You'd now have Jews from Serbia, for example. 642 00:48:13,021 --> 00:48:17,392 We were supposed to get them? - 8,000 men. 643 00:48:17,710 --> 00:48:22,161 Lucky for you we found another solution. Eichmann's idea. 644 00:48:22,419 --> 00:48:27,122 The army needed hostages after partisan attacks. We said, "Help yourself." 645 00:48:27,186 --> 00:48:29,876 Jews as hostages for Serbian partisans? 646 00:48:29,940 --> 00:48:32,882 Is that true? - Jew or partisan, it's the same. 647 00:48:32,946 --> 00:48:35,238 And all 8,000, you.. 648 00:48:35,302 --> 00:48:37,823 The army command set a quota: 649 00:48:37,887 --> 00:48:42,828 200 hostage for each soldier murdered.

There are provisions for exceptions. 822 01:01:40,374 --> 01:01:43,953 Exeptions or not, we can't suddenly lower the status of half Jews 823 01:01:44,017 --> 01:01:48,311 and make them wear the Star of David. It’s out of the question! 824 01:01:48,375 --> 01:01:54,273 Just listen. - It says, “Exempt from this treatment are: 825 01:01:54,337 --> 01:01:59,607 A) "Half-Jews with a German spouse" - That goes without saying. 826 01:01:59,671 --> 01:02:03,599 "provided they have children i.e., quarter-Jews." 827 01:02:03,689 --> 01:02:05,930 Unacceptable.

We'll keep them under our thumb. 1013 01:15:21,202 --> 01:15:25,855 After victory, our first demand will be to round up every Jew 1014 01:15:25,919 --> 01:15:30,275 and if we decide, every half-Jew from both hemispheres. 1015 01:15:30,339 --> 01:15:32,613 Just as this war became a world war 1016 01:15:32,677 --> 01:15:37,525 the final solution will also be worldwide. 1017 01:15:38,062 --> 01:15:40,872 Do you have an alternative? What do you propose? 1018 01:15:40,936 --> 01:15:43,730 I propose we do nothing. 1019 01:15:43,794 --> 01:15:47,173 The laws allow half-Jews marry only Aryans. 1020 01:15:47,237 --> 01:15:49,600 Within two generations 1021 01:15:49,664 --> 01:15:53,631 half Jews will be absorbed into the population. 1022 01:15:53,695 --> 01:15:59,334 We have orders to carry out a total purge. 1023 01:15:59,725 --> 01:16:02,554 Well, there’s one more possibility. 1024 01:16:03,559 --> 01:16:05,859 Sterilization. 1025 01:16:06,739 --> 01:16:11,743 That’s been proposed in this draft. Under IV: 1026 01:16:11,886 --> 01:16:14,552 “Those to be exempt from evacuation, i.e 1027 01:16:14,616 --> 01:16:20,305 those married to pure-blooded Germans and those with exemption status 1028 01:16:20,369 --> 01:16:25,784 are to be made infertile so they will produce no offspring." 1029 01:16:26,062 --> 01:16:30,703 That isn't anything new. We've heard it before. - You don't understand. 1030 01:16:30,767 --> 01:16:36,047 I’m talking about sterilizing all half-Jews, not just the favored ones. 1031 01:16:36,111 --> 01:16:38,981 Compulsory collective sterilization. 1032 01:16:39,045 --> 01:16:42,398 Why didn't you say so in the first place? 1033 01:16:42,462 --> 01:16:47,664 I’m glad you’re not against the liquidation of the people of Judah 1034 01:16:47,728 --> 01:16:51,916 and their watered-down offspring. - Sterilization. I like it. 1035 01:16:51,980 --> 01:16:55,583 As a people, they'd be finished, but as a work force 1036 01:16:55,647 --> 01:16:57,871 they'd be available for a while. 1037 01:16:57,935 --> 01:17:00,712 That would mean thousands of sick days. 1038 01:17:00,776 --> 01:17:05,543 Our hospitals are already filled with the wounded. And don’t forget the costs! 1039 01:17:05,607 --> 01:17:11,346 I’ve heard it can be done with X-rays as well. - Experiments in concentration camps. 1040 01:17:11,580 --> 01:17:16,203 One could order these Jewish gene-carriers to a special office. 1041 01:17:16,267 --> 01:17:20,036 They step up to a desk with a hidden apparatus 1042 01:17:20,100 --> 01:17:24,244 and while someone talks to them, it’s done. No fuss. 1043 01:17:26,349 --> 01:17:30,943 We should discuss it' with the Reich Health Minister. 1044 01:17:31,007 --> 01:17:34,103 We won’t solve the problem of the half-Jew today. 1045 01:17:34,167 --> 01:17:37,089 Don’t forget the quarter Jews and mixed marriages. 1046 01:17:37,153 --> 01:17:40,641 I want a transfer to the front. I can’t take any more of this. 1047 01:17:42,359 --> 01:17:47,392 Why do we give preferential treatment to Jews married to Aryans? 1048 01:17:47,456 --> 01:17:49,705 Comrade Streicher was right. 1049 01:17:49,769 --> 01:17:54,802 A vagina defiled by Jewish sperm will always be a cesspool. 1050 01:17:54,866 --> 01:17:58,463 And no German broom can sweep it clean. 1051 01:17:59,392 --> 01:18:03,603 I suggest representatives of our various agencies 1052 01:18:03,667 --> 01:18:05,967 continue the matter at a lower level. 1053 01:18:06,641 --> 01:18:11,221 Obersturmbannführer Eichmann will contact your subordinate officers. 1054 01:18:11,285 --> 01:18:16,121 And send the Chancellor's Office a report of all opinions. 1055 01:18:16,185 --> 01:18:18,538 If no agreement is reached 1056 01:18:18,602 --> 01:18:23,623 I will obtain a decision from the highest authority. Questions? 1057 01:18:23,687 --> 01:18:26,390 I've already pointed out the problem: 1058 01:18:26,454 --> 01:18:29,496 2,5 million Polish ghetto Jews. Disease, crime. 1059 01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:31,966 The Polish economy is threatened. 1060 01:18:32,030 --> 01:18:36,283 Can't we attend to our Jews first? Few transport problems. 1061 01:18:36,347 --> 01:18:40,761 Certainly. Polish Jews first. The Governor General will be pleased. 1062 01:18:40,825 --> 01:18:45,591 We must try to avoid alarming the Polish population. 1063 01:18:45,655 --> 01:18:51,139 It’s a matter of camouflage and speed. We'll do a good job. 1064 01:18:52,881 --> 01:18:58,083 The minutes? - They will go out to you today.
