| Heinrich Hiimler, 1900-1945, not only had crazy ideas and weird projects but also loved chilling statements of this kind :"'There is no more living proof of hereditary and racial laws than in a concentration camp. You find there hydrocephalics, squinters, deformed individuals, semi-Jews: a considerable number of inferior people.'" In this line, his most appalling speech was made in 1937 to a SS gathering and it reads like this : |

". . . I also want to talk to you quite frankly about a very grave
matter. We can talk about it quite frankly among ourselves
and yet we will never speak of it publicly. Just as we did not
hesitate on 30 June 1934 (the Röhm Purge) to do our duty as
we were bidden, and to stand comrades who had lapsed up
against the wall and shoot them, so we have never spoken
about it and will never speak of it. It was that tact which is a
matter of course, and which I am glad to say is inherent in
us, that made us never discuss it among ourselves, never
speak of it.
It appalled everyone, and yet every was certain that he
would do it the next time if such orders should be issued
and it should be necessary. "I am referring to the Jewish
evacuation programme, the extermination of the Jewish
people. It is one of those things which are easy to talk about.
'The Jewish people will be exterminated', says every party
comrade, 'It's clear, it's in our programme. Elimination of the
Jews, extermination and we'll do it.' And then they come
along, the worthy eighty million Germans, and each one of
them produces his decent Jew. It's clear the others are
swine, but this one is a fine Jew. Not one of those who talk
like that has watched it happening, not one of them has
been through it. Most of you will know what it means when a
hundred corpses are lying side by side, or five hundred or a
thousand are lying there.
To have stuck it out and--apart from a few exceptions due to
human weakness -- to have remained decent, that is what
has made us tough. This is a glorious page in our history,
and one that has never been written and can never be
written. For we know how difficult we would have made it for
ourselves if, on top of the bombing raids, the burdens and
deprivations of war, we still had Jews today in every town as
secret saboteurs, agitators and troublemakers. We would
now probably have reached the 1916-17 stage when the
Jews were still part of the body of the German nation.

"We have taken from them what
wealth they had. I have issued a
strict order, which SS
Obergruppenführer Pohl has
carried out, that this wealth
should, as a matter of course, be
handed over to the Reich without
reserve. We have taken none of it
for ourselves. Individual men who
have lapsed will be punished in
accordance with an order I issued
at the beginning which gave this
warning: Whoever takes so much
as a mark of it is a dead man. A
number of SS men--there are not
very many of them -- have fallen
short, and they will die, without
mercy.
We had the moral right, we had the
duty to our people, to destroy this
people which wanted to destroy
us. But we have not the right to
enrich ourselves with so much as
a fur, a watch, a mark, a cigarette
or anything else. We have
exterminated a bacterium because
we do not want in the end to be
infected by the bacterium and die
of it. I will not see so much as a
small area of sepsis appear here
or gain a hold. Wherever it may
form, we will cauterize it. All in all,
we can say that we fulfilled this
most difficult duty for the love of
our people. And our spirit, our
soul, our character has not
suffered injury from it. . . . "
