>Goebbels noted in his diary on March 7, 1942: “I am reading a detailed memorandum from the SD and the police on the Final Solution to the Jewish Question. […] There are still eleven million Jews left in Europe. They will later have to be concentrated, initially in the East; they may eventually be given an island after the war, such as Madagascar.”
>>18328693The boring truth is the Holocaust happened but it wasn't planned by the German elites
No he was. Here's the immediate preceding day, March 6."The Jews are involved everywhere as inciters and agitators[Hetzer und Aufputscher]. It is for that reason that they have to pay, to a large extent, with their lives. In general I am of the opinion that the more Jews are liquidated during the war, the more consolidated the situation in Europe will be after the war."
>>18328712And apparently it was barely documented, as not a single document seems to detail the operation of the gas chambers.
>>18328724Nazis killed partisans and agitators in general though.If anything it's further proof he wasn't aware of the Holocaust since he's advocating for Jewish partisans to be shot, but that's redundant if he knew all Jewish civilians were already in the process of being murdered
>>18328727I don't know whether gas chambers were real but Jews were definitely killed in the camps
>>18328775Nazis labeled people who weren't partisans and agitators as partisans and agitaotrs.
He was deep within Hitler's inner circle, if there was any centrally orchestrated killing of jews he'd know about it.
>>18328805What were they doing around partisans and agitators?
>>18328805That still doesn't explain why he'd use agitators as a code word for all Jews in his personal diary. Unless you think he wrote the diary knowing it would one day fall into Allied hands and wanted to mislead them
>>18328872the whole point of genocide is to murder people because you believe that they conspire against you, no one goes like>hmmm i just murder the whole nation cos i feel like doing it today
