Copy of Martin Luther's file on the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question" 


"The Jews are guilty!
By Reich Minister Dr Goebbels.
The historic guilt of world Jewry for the outbreak and spread of this war is so far proven that I need say nothing more about it. The Jews wanted their war and now they have it. Yet they also demonstrate the proof of the Fuehrer's prophecy made on 30 January 1939 in the German Reichstag, when he stated that if the International Jewish financiers again succeeded in plunging the nations into a world war, the result would not be the Bolshevisation of the world and thereby a Jewish victory but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe. We are currently witnessing the fulfilment of this prophecy and the Jews are thus meeting a fate that is harsh, but more than deserved. Pity or even regret are fully inappropriate under the circumstances. [...]"
Lead article by Joseph Goebbels in the weekly newspaper "Das Reich", 16 November 1941
