The Nazis and the Jews

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that Hitler believed that to achieve his dream of a pure racial state in Germany, he had to totally eliminate the Jews from the face of the earth. The author points out that the first working session of the Reichszentrale began the process of concentrating all matters concerning Jewish emigration into the hands of the police. The paper relates that in the concentration camps German doctors practiced "medical experiments," known as eugenics, on the Jews in which experiments were made regarding the purity of German blood as opposed to that of the Jews.

From the Paper:

"Hitler's first stage of this act toward racial purity and a racial state was aimed at accomplishing two ends: first, Germany had to purge itself of its internal enemies, and second, Germany had to make itself strong. The first step in this process was purgation, which had been achieved with the promulgation of the laws of 1933 and the Nuremberg Laws. At the end of August of 1936, Hitler went to Berchtesgaden, where he prepared his memorandum on the Four Year Plan. A portion of this document provided for the expropriation of all Jews when Germany went to war, for the Reichstag was to pass a law "making the whole of Jewry liable for all damages inflicted by individual specimens . . . upon the German economy and thus upon the German people." "
