Chapter 42: 30 Januar 1939
"..."
"Ich möchte zur jüdischen Frage folgendes bemerken...(I would like to say the following to the 'jewish question'..." Hitler spoke with passion as always. Alistair had come in late but unnoticed. He sat on the balcony with a few older gentlemen, all looking down at the stage where Hitler presented his speech. "1. We - the democracies - are not in an able position to take in the Jews. But in these World-empires there are not even 10 people per square kilometer, and here in Germany, where there are 135 people per square kilometer that we need to feed, should be able to take them in." Even though Hitler tried to cover up his personal hate with numbers and statistics it still shone through his words, clear as day. "...Germany was good and kind enough to take in these elements for centuries, even though they carrried nothing but political and sanitary diseases. What this people owns today, it acquired at the cost of the German people, through the grossest manipulation." He spat the word disease and his eyes flared up as he spoke of manipulation. He believed every word he'd written and now spoke. He proceeded to blame the inflation on the jews, an inflation that took years for the Germans to work against and were still working against, he blamed foreign countries for taking away their colonies and their foreign capital. He claimed that 800'000 German children died from hunger by the end of the world war, but the foreign countries still took almost a million cows, an order of the Friedensvertrag. "We lived to see, that over a million German war prisoners were kept without reason untill after a year after the wars end. I could add dozens of cruel examples to those I have named."
"Man bleibe uns also von Leibe mit Humanität (So stay away from us with your 'humanity'." Even Alistair saw, that Hitler had a point. Again, he agreed with the observation but not the conclusion. Yes, Germany had been brutally crushed after the first world war. They'd definitely been punished harder then they should have been, especially after having lost so much in the war itself. They'd been treated cruelly. So why should they believe America and France and England who spoke of 'humanity' when these very people had almost destroyed their country? Why should they follow their orders, when their past orders had been most unfortunate for Germany? But then again. His conclusion of paranoia, of blaming inflation on the jews, of not understanding that although cruel, the foreign countries felt the need to impose these sanctions due to the danger germany had posed, was one Alistair didn't agree with. Alistair of course, was not able to judge objectivly for he knew what would happen later in 1939. Had he not known it he would have (most probably) agreed with putting most of the blame of Germany's near-collapse on those aforementioned foreign countries. He leaned forwards, elbows on the balcony, awaiting Hitler's next words. He'd never heard this perticular speech, perhaps because there was no recording of it; not one that was accesible online or in any archive he knew of, there was simply the written form, and he'd never read it.
"We're determined to put an end to the 'settlement' of a foreign people (Jews) (in Germany), who knew to pull various leading positions to themselves, and to deport this people." He continued, "For we want to put and to raise our own people to fill these leading positions. We have hundreds of thousands of the most intelligent farmer-and proletarian children. We will educate and raise them, and we're already raising and educating them, we want them, one day, to fill these leading positions in our country alongside our other educated classes, instead of a to us, foriegn people." He continued to speak about how the German culture is a 'German' one and not a 'Jewish' culture and because of this it should be kept in German hands.
"And when the rest of the world answers so hypocritically to the deportation of such a 'irreplacable' and 'culturally valuable' element out of Germany, we can only be surprised. Because they should be thankful to us, that we're giving (releasing and making accesiable to) the rest of the world this wonderful culture." He spoke with a touch of sarcasm and in his mockery lay his conviction.
"They (the rest of the world) cannot find a reason through their explaination as to why they don't allow these most valuable people to enter their countries...."
"...I believe that this problem will be best solved sooner than later, for Europe cannot come to peace before the 'jewish question' (I assume; the jewish people or in the least; where they should go) is cleared out..."
"...The world has enough room for settlement (of the jewish people), the opinion has to finally be broken, that some jewish people are determined by God, to be beneficiaries of the work of other peoples. The Jewish people will have to adapt to a solid structure (I assume he means their own economy, with a working class, higher class ect in their own country), as other countrys have also done, or, sooner or later, there will be a crisis of unimaginable scale." His words sounded threatening even though they were spoken rather calmly. Alistair shuddered, the older german gentleman next to him noticed it and glanced at him suspiciously. Knowing he had to save himself Alistair quickly made the Hitler salute, then returned to watching the Führer speak.
"And I'd like to say one thing on this day that is perhaps noteworthy to Germans : I have been a 'prophet' many times in my life, and most of the times I was laughed at. In the time of my 'Kampf' for power it was, most of all, the Jewish people, that mocked my 'prophecie', that one day I would take over the leadership of the German state and with it the German people and that I would solve the jewish problem, and many others. I believe, that this past 'resounding' laughter of the jewish people in Germany, now chokes in their throats."
