Where the Jewish Question is brought up in public, there may be no
discussion of a future overall solution (Gesamtloesung).
It may, however, be mentioned that the Jews are taken in groups for
appropriate labor purposes.

On May 25, 1940 for example, Himmler handed Adolf Hitler a secret memorandum that contained Himmler’s recommendations regarding “the treatment of the peoples of alien races in the East.” It called for “the racial sifting” of millions of people.

In normal times this danger is naturally not so great than in abnormal times and the most abnormal time in the life of a nation is the war. Therefore I am personally convinced that we cannot allow Jewry, as a seat of infection, to exist any longer. Of course, a
more inhumane solution could be demanded in time of war: but it is certain
that there can be no more discussion in Germany of the necessity of removing
Jewry as a seat of infection. The vast majority of the German nation want a
total solution of the Jewish question.

In the ghettos the Jews are to receive only as much food as the rest of the
population can spare, but not more than is required for their bare subsistence.
The same applies to the allocation of other essential goods.

A pit had been cut in the ground, about 4 m. wide and 7-8 m.
long, and the excavated earth had been piled up on one side. This mound and
the side of the pit beneath it were stained all over with streams of blood. The
pit itself was filled with human corpses of all kinds and both sexes in such
numbers that it was difficult to estimate them; it was not possible to judge the
depth of the pit. Behind the mound of excavated earth a Police Commando
was lined up with a Police Officer in command.

Warning: Graphic
I am not concerned here with
whatever court decisions may have formed the basis for the executions I have
described, I felt it was not reconcilable with our concepts of custom and
decency up to the present time and that a mass slaughter of human beings
should be carried out quite publicly, as on an outdoor stage. I wish to add that
according to statements by soldiers who frequently watch these executions,
several hundreds of persons were said to be shot every day.

Jews
In the month under consideration enemy propaganda dealt with the Jews to
an increased degree. Rumors were spread in the various ghettos that
Grossaktionen (Large Actions) would take place within a short period in which not only
children, old people and the unfit would be shot by the Security Police, but all
the inmates of the ghettos without exception.

Approval would be given to evacuation of
the greater part of the Hungarian Jews from occupied territories “since
Hungary naturally does not intend to lag behind the other countries.
Mr. Sztojay He knew from his discussions in the past that the Prime Minister was particularly
interested in the question as to whether a continued existence in the east
would be made possible for the Jews after their evacuation. There were many
rumors in this connection which he personally of course would not believe,
however these rumors disturbed Prime Minister Kallay somewhat. He would
not want to be accused of having exposed the Hungarian Jews to misery or
worse after their evacuation.
My answer stating that all evacuated Jews, including obviously the Hungarian
Jews too, would first be used in the East for road construction and would later
be settled in a Jewish reserve…

Hitler speech, Dec 12 1941, to the Gauleiters, p212, “The Holocaust on Trial”, Guttenplan. Hitler makes clear his intentions are extermination.
http://www.holocaust-history.org/december-12-1941/
Christian Gerlach, historian, on notes found on ‘Hitler’s Speech to the Gauleiters.’ Goebbels’ notes in his diary are matched by Hans Franck’s notes in his gov’t diary, proving that Hitler ordered the Holocaust, and openly spoke of it on that day.
Order by Himmler On July 19, 1942, for the Completion of
the “Final Solution” in the Government-General
I herewith order that the resettlement of the entire Jewish population of the
Government-General be carried out and completed by December 31, 1942.
From December 31, 1942, no persons of Jewish origin may remain within the
Government-General, unless they are in collection camps in Warsaw, Cracow,
Czestochowa, Radom, and Lublin. All other work on which Jewish labor is
employed must be finished by that date, or, in the event that this is not
possible, it must be transferred to one of the collection camps.
These measures are required with a view to the necessary ethnic division of
races and peoples for the New Order in Europe, and also in the interests of
the security and cleanliness of the German Reich and its sphere of interest.
Every breach of this regulation spells a danger to quiet and order in the entire
German sphere of interest, a point of application for the resistance movement
and a source of moral and physical pestilence.
For all these reasons a total cleansing is necessary and therefore to be
carried out. Cases in which the date set can not be observed will be reported
to me in time, so that I can see to corrective action at an early date. All
requests by other offices for changes or permits for exceptions to be made
must be presented to me personally.
Heil Hilter!

my comment: Bothmann was a part of the Holocaust at Chelmno. Hence Jews were being sent to be murdered, there can be no doubt about it.

From the Korherr Report:
V. Evacuation of the Jews
At least in the area of the Reich the evacuation of the Jews has taken the
place of the emigration of the Jews. Following the ban on Jewish emigration
from Fall 1941 [the evacuation] was prepared on a large scale and carried out
to a far-reaching extent throughout the area of the Reich in 1942. In the
balance sheet of Jewry (Bilanz des Judentums) it appears as “Emigration.”

Himmler’s office.
** Germany before 1938.
*** The total number of Jews in these areas at the beginning of the war
had been about 2 million.

my comment: These document shows the Nazis twisted words come back to haunt them. How can they be ‘evacuated ‘ from the “Reich” and yet the matter of the evacuation ‘be settled ‘ within the Reich? Either they were evacuated from the Reich, or else evacuation has more than one meaning, namely the same meaning as ’emigration.’ Emigration to where? The Jews were not ‘re-settled’ in the East , as in the document signed by Martin Luther of the Foreign Office. The Jews in the Soviet Union, the East, were murdered, as proved by Father Desbois and the research contained in ‘the Holocaust by bullets.’ At 1.5 million Jews were murdered in Ukraine. I hope they do more research on the estimated number of Jews who died in the rest of the Soviet Union, which may mean it is more than six million Jews who were killed or who died.

Wannsee Protocol
In the meantime, in view of the dangers of emigration in war-time, and the
possibilities in the East, the Reichsfuehrer SS and Chief of the German Police
has forbidden the emigration of Jews.
4*
III. Emigration has now been replaced by evacuation of the Jews to the East,
as a further possible solution, with the appropriate prior authorization by the
Fuehrer.
However, this operation should be regarded only as a provisional option; but it
is already supplying practical experience of great significance in view of the
coming final solution of the Jewish question.
In the course of this final solution of the European Jewish question
approximately 11 million Jews may be taken into consideration, distributed
over the individual countries as follows:
Europe is to be combed through from West to East in the course of the
practical implementation of the final solution.
The evacuated Jews will first be taken, group by group, to so-called transit
ghettos, in order to be transported further east from there.

Dr Philip Buehler… requested that the Jewish question in this area be solved as quickly as possible.(General Gov’t of Poland).
Dr. Buehler were of the opinion that certain preparatory work for the final
solution should be carried out locally in the area concerned, but that, in doing
so, alarm among the population must be avoided.

Below is the complete text from the QuickTime movie presentation of Heinrich Himmler’s Poznan speech of October 4, 1943. Graphic. Also in German. [Posen, Posnan]
OCTOBER 4, 1943
POZNAN, POLAND
Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, the second most powerful man in Nazi Germany, speaks to SS officers for three hours in a secret meeting.
Himmler’s recording survived the war. It is now in the National Archives in College Park, Maryland.
What you are hearing has not been edited.
Himmler is finishing talking about weapons factories.
He is about to remind his officers of the loyalty he expects in their extermination of the Jews.
—
I also want to mention a very difficult subject before you here, completely openly.
It should be discussed amongst us, and yet, nevertheless, we will never speak about it in public.
Just as we did not hesitate on June 30 to carry out our duty, as ordered, and stand comrades who had failed against the wall and shoot them.
About which we have never spoken, and never will speak.
That was, thank God, a kind of tact natural to us, a foregone conclusion of that tact, that we have never conversed about it amongst ourselves, never spoken about it, everyone shuddered, and everyone was clear that the next time, he would do the same thing again, if it were commanded and necessary.
I am talking about the “Jewish evacuation”: the extermination of the Jewish people.
It is one of those things that is easily said. “The Jewish people is being exterminated,” every Party member will tell you, “perfectly clear, it’s part of our plans, we’re eliminating the Jews, exterminating them, ha!, a small matter.”
And then along they all come, all the 80 million upright Germans, and each one has his decent Jew. They say: all the others are swine, but here is a first-class Jew.
And none of them has seen it, has endured it. Most of you will know what it means when 100 bodies lie together, when there are 500, or when there are 1000. And to have seen this through, and — with the exception of human weaknesses — to have remained decent, has made us hard and is a page of glory never mentioned and never to be mentioned.
Because we know how difficult things would be, if today in every city during the bomb attacks, the burdens of war and the privations, we still had Jews as secret saboteurs, agitators and instigators. We would probably be at the same stage as 1916-17, if the Jews still resided in the body of the German people.
We have taken away the riches that they had, and I have given a strict order, which Obergruppenführer Pohl has carried out, we have delivered these riches completely to the Reich, to the State. We have taken nothing from them for ourselves. A few, who have offended against this, will be [judged] in accordance with an order, that I gave at the beginning: He who takes even one Mark of this is a dead man.
A number of SS men have offended against this order. There are not very many, and they will be dead men – WITHOUT MERCY! We have the moral right, we had the duty to our people to do it, to kill this people who wanted to kill us. But we do not have the right to enrich ourselves with even one fur, with one Mark, with one cigarette, with one watch, with anything. That we do not have. Because at the end of this, we don’t want, because we exterminated the bacillus, to become sick and die from the same bacillus.
I will never see it happen, that even one bit of putrefaction comes in contact with us, or takes root in us. On the contrary, where it might try to take root, we will burn it out together. But altogether we can say: We have carried out this most difficult task for the love of our people. And we have taken on no defect within us, in our soul, or in our character.

recent study by Michael Mann
which presents a collective profile of some 1,500 Nazi killers from a variety of groups (“euthanasia” doctors and concentration camp personnel as well as members of the police and the Einsatzgruppen), (98) supplemented by other more specifically Gestapo-oriented sources, provides a useful measuring standard for the conclusions that follow.
Gestapo man Seetzen. Gestapo were informed of the “Final Solution” by Eichmann. Also took part in ‘killings in the East.’
Brazil: Nazis went to, :
But all that was to end when Gustav Wagner’s idyllic retirement in Sao Paolo was shattered on May 30, 1978. Simon Wiesenthal, the famous Nazi hunter found out he was living in the town, along with at least 1500 other Nazi killers. Every year, the Alter Kameraden – Old Comrades – notoriously met to celebrate Hitler’s birthday in a village tavern near Sao Paolo, although Wagner did not attend. Recklessly, the old Nazis photographed each other.
Chief Heinrich Muller, the head of the Gestapo. Article claims he went to Brazil.
Immediately after the war, the Swiss government had allowed rich Nazis paying 200,000 Swiss Francs each to fly on a regular scheduled flight scheduled to Brazil, and no questions were asked at either end.
For a higher fee, Swiss bankers discreetly transferred vast sums of money from Zurich to Brazilian banks.
