“Gentlemen, today’s meeting is of a decisive nature. I have received a letter written on the Führer’s orders by the Stabsleiter of the Führer’s Deputy, Bormann, requesting that the Jewish question be now, once and for all, co-ordinated and solved one way or another.”
Is that correct?
GÖRING: Yes, that is correct.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Further down, I find this:
“Gentlemen, I have had enough of these demonstrations. They do not harm the Jews, but finally devolve on me, the highest authority for the German economy. If today a Jewish shop is destroyed, if goods are thrown into the street, the insurance company will pay the Jew for the damages so that he does not suffer any damage at all. Furthermore, consumer goods, goods belonging to the people, are destroyed. If, in the future, demonstrations occur—and on occasion they may be necessary—then I ask that they be so directed that we do not cut our own throats.”
Am I correct?
GÖRING: Yes, quite correct.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Skipping two or three paragraphs, I come to this . . .
GÖRING: But the supplement has been omitted.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Well, you can supplement it any way you want to.
