Conspiracy Page #2

After the war, it will be my home.

A marvelous home.

There have been questions

about Moscow...

...but I think

I've deflected them successfully.

Understood. If we keep doing this all day,

we'll never finish.

With no disrespect to our Fhrer,

it is suspended until the end of business.

- Yes, sir.

- Very good.

- There's wine, sir.

- You've all had what you need?

Then let us do what we are here for,

and refreshments after?

- There'll be a buffet.

- Good.

Dr. Kritzinger, important that you be here.

Let us begin.

- Our Fhrer, how is his mood?

- Commanding, of course.

- His generals in Russia are a disgrace.

- This conference should've...

In a moment.

Gentlemen, your places are identified.

Thank you all for coming. Please, sit down.

I'm sorry I held you up a little.

But you had elegant wine, I'm sure.

And no one there

to say it's too early for that.

Are you all set up?

- It's prepared.

- Very good.

At the risk of sounding like

the first day at summer camp...

...let's go around the table

and introduce ourselves...

...for those who do not know others.

I shall save myself for last

and start with Gen. Mller.

Maj. Gen. Heinrich Mller, SS Gestapo.

Klopfer, representing the Party,

that is who I speak for.

I'm Kritzinger, Ministerial Director

of the Reich Chancellery.

I appreciate being called, but wonder why.

The topic, the coordination of the

Jewish question, I believe, was resolved.

It will be.

With the Fhrer stating to me

and to my superiors...

It will be.

Gen. Hofmann,

Race and Settlement, Main Office.

We deal with matters

of race and settlement.

Is it me?

Leibbrandt, the Political Office of the

Ministry for all we hold and administer...

...in Eastern Poland, the Baltics

and in the Soviet Union.

I am the State Secretary

for the Ministry as a whole.

- Give them your name.

- Meyer, Dr., sorry.

Stuckart, Interior Ministry.

Martin Luther,

Undersecretary of the Foreign Ministry.

I met almost everybody.

My name is Neumann, Director,

Office of the Four-Year Plan.

Lange, Deputy Commander

of SS Task Forces in Latvia.

- Among other things.

- We all have other things.

I'm Joseph Bhler...

...Secretary of State of the General

Government of German-occupied Poland.

How cold is it up there?

Better Cracow than Warsaw.

Now that it is run by Germans,

you should be spared those Polish winters.

Not the case.

Schngarth,

SS assigned to the General Government.

Dr. Freisler, Ministry of Justice.

Also, I hold rank in the Storm Troopers.

So that is who I am.

Adolf Eichmann, SS Gestapo, Office of

Jewish Affairs, and that should be...

Yes, that's all.

And I am Heydrich,

SS Chief of Reich Security, Main Office...

...and Reichsprotector

of Bohemia and Moravia.

And welcome.

You have each been given some papers.

These are for you alone.

No copies to be made,

not to be seen or discussed with others...

...except superiors.

How we deal with matters here

must be held secret from our enemies.

We control events better

when we control opinion.

Today, each of us becomes

a bearer of secrets.

- And our secretary will be discreet?

- He agrees.

He agrees? Excellent.

Communication between us after today

will pass in both directions...

...through Lt. Col. Eichmann,

my deputy for all Jewish matters.

He is your focal point.

To begin, we have a storage problem

in Germany with these Jews.

There have been conversations

for a year about this Jew...

...and that Jew and the complexities

of the law and this problem...

...as you, I'm sure, know has tormented us.

We first undertook to expel them

from all means by which our people...

...would have to deal with them,

every sphere of life of German people.

The laws enacted at Nuremberg,

and we should drink a toast...

...to Dr. Stuckart for devising them.

Coauthor, in all modesty,

I am the coauthor.

They established the fundamental legality

for the creation of a Jew-free society...

...a Jew-free economy for the world to see.

And we, indeed, have eliminated the Jew

from our national life.

Now, more than that, the Jew himself...

...must be physically eradicated

from our living space.

- Clarification.

- Absolutely.

There will be a moment for that.

But if I may, we pursued

a vigorous policy of emigration...

...but who would take more of them?

"Who would want them?"

Was the policy's ultimate limitation.

Every border in Europe rejects them

or charges outrageously to accept them.

- America.

- Even America, thank you...

...where Jews constantly whisper

in Roosevelt's ear, still turns them away.

Then, in acquiring Poland,

we acquired two and a half million more.

By last July,

we were met with a new situation...

...we would, in very short order,

be acquiring some...

...we would, in very short order,

be acquiring some...

...five million Jews

as we conquered Russia.

The dimensions of this problem

have magnified astoundingly.

Five million.

Exactly the problem. Our ghettos are full...

All those ghettos, yes, with Polish names.

Fully occupied, but hold for now,

please, if you would.

At that time, last July,

confronting this new situation...

...Reichsmarshal Gring

prepared a directive, you have a copy.

The operative words,

if you'll permit me to read:

"I hereby charge you

with making all preparations...

"...in regard to organizational

and financial matters...

"...for bringing about a complete solution

of the Jewish question...

"...in the German sphere of influence

in Europe."

Now, for that, I read the cleansing...

...of the entire continent of Europe.

You see, the word "cleansing"...

An accurate word, I think. If I may go on...

...in the second paragraph:

"Wherever other governmental agencies

are involved...

"...these are to cooperate with you..."

I hope. So on, so on.

"...as necessary for the accomplishment...

"...of the desired solution

of the Jewish question."

This is our mandate, all of us.

May I say, in fairness...

...the Jewish question falls

within the responsibilities...

...of my department, the Reich Chancellery,

and we received no directive...

If you will give me a moment or two.

- The document is in your folder?

- Yes, it is in your folder.

I'm sure it is.

Finally, what has happened

since that directive?

Succinctly, now...

...we are standing still in Russia,

the Americans have joined the war.

Both events are a further drain

on our military, our economy...

...our manpower, our food supply.

We cannot store these Jews.

Emigration is over.

And the inevitable solution is what we,

together at this table...

...will discuss this afternoon.

We'll go on. You'll find a document

listing the remaining Jewish population...

...by country in Europe...

...and whatever the USSR or Russia

calls itself for the time it has left.

As I mentioned,

emigration policy will stop...

I apologize, sir. A call for Gen. Heydrich.

- See who it is, and end the calls.

- Yes, sir.

We will take but a moment.
