of all their evil actions nothing

solution the murder of some 6 million

00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:18,519
Jews but how did they get an entire

nation to buy into the wholesale

00:00:18,519 --> 00:00:23,759
Slaughter of an innocent race they're

performing murder and terrible crimes

look as though it's

correct this is the story of how Hitler
11
00:00:30,118 --> 00:00:37,119
and the Nazis groomed the German people
12
00:00:33,558 --> 00:00:39,479
he likened the Jews to a virus or a
13
00:00:37,119 --> 00:00:41,599
wound that that won't heal using all
14
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:45,159
their darkest Arts to make them

Jews recovering from his wounds at the

00:01:22,438 --> 00:01:28,000
end of the first world war he blames

left-wing Jewish politicians for
25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:35,239
surrendering stabbing Germany in the
26
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:37,000
back in the 1920s depression he rails
27
00:01:35,239 --> 00:01:39,519
against a Jewish
28
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,759

eliminated the nation is no longer
39
00:02:06,879 --> 00:02:11,560
willing to be sucked dry by these
40
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:14,519
parasites everything he'd said since
41
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:17,878
1922 pointed towards the ultimate idea
42
00:02:14,519 --> 00:02:17,879
that you rid yourself of the Jews
43
00:02:22,199 --> 00:02:29,959
physically by 1941 he is master of
44
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:32,360
everything he has defeated France
45
00:02:29,959 --> 00:02:35,800
captured Poland and his army is
46
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:38,560
advancing deep into the Soviet Union now
47
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:43,360
he can begin on a lifetime's ambition to
48
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,360
create a pure German Nation free of
49
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,789
Jews but how can he carry the German
50
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,879
people with

[Music]
52
00:02:52,878 --> 00:02:57,120
him he has always been aware his
53
00:02:55,239 --> 00:03:01,759
anti-jewish policy is an acutely
54
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,759
sensitive issue for ordinary citizens
55
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:08,878
in fact during his first four years in
56
00:03:05,239 --> 00:03:11,120
power Hitler barely mentions the Jews in
57
00:03:08,878 --> 00:03:15,239
public and when he does move against
58
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:18,480
them it is slowly step by
59
00:03:15,239 --> 00:03:21,000
step they're banned from certain
60
00:03:18,479 --> 00:03:24,959
professions then they lose their rights
61
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,959
as Citizens and their
62
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,479
livelihoods thousands are driven to flee
63
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:33,438
abroad during all of this
64
00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:37,318
there are some objections however most
65
00:03:33,438 --> 00:03:37,318
Germans just stand and
66
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:43,319
watch but the actual killing the
67
00:03:40,438 --> 00:03:46,680
elimination of all those who remain
68
00:03:43,318 --> 00:03:49,598
their own neighbors is still a step too
69
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:52,400
far he recognized in the German people
70
00:03:49,598 --> 00:03:56,560
there was this residual sense of decency
71
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,560
which could be offended by horrific
72
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:03,280
policies but killing Jews is
73
00:04:00,919 --> 00:04:07,399
indecent it will take all the Nazis
74
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,400
skill to sell this to the German
75
00:04:07,479 --> 00:04:13,959
people it's a task for Joseph Gobles the
76
00:04:10,799 --> 00:04:13,959
Nazis master of
77
00:04:15,039 --> 00:04:20,159
persuasion Geral shares the fur's
78
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,840
loathing of the Jews and is determined
79
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,960
to convince his fellow
80
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,079
Germans it was Gobles who was
81
00:04:24,959 --> 00:04:28,839
responsible for selling the idea that
82
00:04:27,079 --> 00:04:30,319
the Jews were this kind of cancer or
83
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,638
this plague at theit part of German
84
00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:34,279
Society he realized that if you could
85
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:36,800
control what people
86
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,000
consumed then you could control them and
87
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,400
he was one of the first people to
88
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,399
realize
89
00:04:40,959 --> 00:04:47,918
that Cinema is one of his favorite tools
90
00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:47,919
for manipulating public
91
00:04:49,079 --> 00:04:54,680
opinion the film The Eternal Jew
92
00:04:52,399 --> 00:04:57,120
produced by gal's propaganda
93
00:04:54,680 --> 00:05:00,800
unit has a stark
94
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,840
message wherever Jews settle they behave
95
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:06,038
like rats and
96
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:08,359
parasites the film portrays the Jew as
97
00:05:06,038 --> 00:05:11,478
the Eternal corruptor specifically of
98
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,479
course in the sense of of
99
00:05:29,918 --> 00:05:36,240
the German people to buy into this evil
100
00:05:32,319 --> 00:05:39,000
agenda is going to be a complex
101
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,960
process the danger lies in inflaming
102
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,478
public
103
00:05:39,959 --> 00:05:46,680
opinion and the risk of getting things
104
00:05:42,478 --> 00:05:46,680
wrong is already brutally
105
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:53,918
clear since 1939 the Nazis have been
106
00:05:50,959 --> 00:05:56,680
carrying out a secret euthanasia
107
00:05:53,918 --> 00:05:59,159
campaign it will become their dry run
108
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:02,519
for how to commit mass murder without
109
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,520
upsetting the German
110
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:10,720
public first they need willing
111
00:06:07,918 --> 00:06:13,079
accomplishes pliable nurses and doctors
112
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:16,400
are instructed to single out terminally
113
00:06:13,079 --> 00:06:16,399
ill and disabled
114
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:23,079
children the next step is to deceive the
115
00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:25,598
people who might
116
00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:28,120
object parents are told their loved ones
117
00:06:25,598 --> 00:06:31,560
are to be sent to care centers for
118
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,560
special treatment
119
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:38,038
and finally they need a method of
120
00:06:34,478 --> 00:06:42,879
killing quiet and
121
00:06:38,038 --> 00:06:45,959
discreet they choose Murder By lethal
122
00:06:42,879 --> 00:06:47,598

123
00:06:45,959 --> 00:06:52,680
are
124
00:06:47,598 --> 00:06:55,439
killed their only crime to be sick or
125
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:58,840
disabled the truth is hidden by false
126
00:06:55,439 --> 00:07:00,399
death certificates blaming measles or
127
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,000
pneumonia
128
00:07:00,399 --> 00:07:04,198
it's Hitler sort of kind of dipping his
129
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,478
toe in the water with the German public
130
00:07:04,199 --> 00:07:07,478
to see what he can get away
131
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:14,520
with then the regime escalates the
132
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:18,319
program targeting tens of thousands of
133
00:07:14,519 --> 00:07:21,159
disabled adults in institutions across
134
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:22,199
Germany ramping up the numbers involves
135
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,919
more
136
00:07:22,199 --> 00:07:26,360
doctors and some voice doubts about the
137
00:07:24,918 --> 00:07:28,839
legality of the
138
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:31,280
policy it's a problem that goes to the
139
00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:35,439
furer himself himself and so Hitler
140
00:07:31,279 --> 00:07:35,439
wrote a note which he rarely did and
141
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,918
signed saying to the people the chancel
142
00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:44,240
you concerned with the medical
143
00:07:41,918 --> 00:07:47,209
profession that this was now a policy
144
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:50,759
that could be followed
145
00:07:47,209 --> 00:07:53,598
[Music]
146
00:07:50,759 --> 00:07:57,520
legitimately for the German doctors it's
147
00:07:53,598 --> 00:08:00,120
Now official they are obeying the fur's
148
00:07:57,519 --> 00:08:01,878
orders that's what the new culture is
149
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,478
they say to themselves that's the
150
00:08:01,879 --> 00:08:05,960
environment uh that's the classic Road
151
00:08:04,478 --> 00:08:09,639
to
152
00:08:05,959 --> 00:08:13,519
Hell a secret Department known as
153
00:08:09,639 --> 00:08:17,079
T4 is set up to Mastermind the
154
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:21,000
process to kill so many quickly and
155
00:08:17,079 --> 00:08:21,000
quietly they need new
156
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,158
techniques what the man at T4 come up
157
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:29,679
with is a shower
158
00:08:26,158 --> 00:08:31,680
room except these pipes and shower heads
159
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:34,360
don't carry
160
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,719
water they deliver poisonous carbon
161
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:39,399
monoxide
162
00:08:35,719 --> 00:08:42,360
gas in many ways the euthanasia program
163
00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:43,639
uh represents the absolute bestiality of
164
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,759
the Nazi
165
00:08:43,639 --> 00:08:51,080
regime tens of thousands of Germany's
166
00:08:46,759 --> 00:08:53,480
sick and disabled are murdered in this
167
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:56,080
way and it's an extraordinary program
168
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,360
because all those involved knew what was
169
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,000
going on it's not as if they were
170
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:02,079
blinded they accept that you euthanasia
171
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:06,078
is a legitimate policy the killing of
172
00:09:02,078 --> 00:09:06,078
Germans by Germans is
173
00:09:07,159 --> 00:09:12,120
legitimate but then the truth about the
174
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:15,559
killing starts to leak
175
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:18,879
out gradually of course the public
176
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:21,639
living close to those
177
00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:25,200
institutions began to get an awareness
178
00:09:21,639 --> 00:09:28,078
that something unusual was going on
179
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:30,519
people start to worry other sick
180
00:09:28,078 --> 00:09:34,199
relatives might be the next
181
00:09:30,519 --> 00:09:37,600
victims the discussion starts here and
182
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:40,120
there about will this be applied to our
183
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,120
wounded
184
00:09:41,078 --> 00:09:47,639
soldiers the Catholic Church picks up on
185
00:09:43,799 --> 00:09:51,278
the public fears and stands up to the
186
00:09:47,639 --> 00:09:54,159
regime famously Bishop V galin gave a
187
00:09:51,278 --> 00:09:55,879
sermon in which he denounced his program
188
00:09:54,159 --> 00:09:58,240
um not on the grounds that it is
189
00:09:55,879 --> 00:10:00,000
necessarily unethical to kill people but
190
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,600
on the grounds that these were Germans
191
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,159

euthanasia has taught the Nazis several
211
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:02,359
lessons first if their racial policies

threaten German families public opinion
213
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,879
won't wear
214
00:11:08,159 --> 00:11:16,958

00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,959
to be well hidden far from Germany
216
00:11:17,399 --> 00:11:24,360

disreputable these lessons will Define

00:11:27,919 --> 00:11:34,199
how the Nazis deal with the
220
00:11:30,078 --> 00:11:37,319
Jews in particular Hitler will never
221
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:40,240
personally sign a compromising
222
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:42,720
document he didn't want his own name
223
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:45,120

the anti-jewish
225
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:52,720

226
00:11:50,839 --> 00:11:56,120
Riding High on the success of his

fanatical SS selected for their Devotion

00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:38,159
party member since the
241
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:40,919
1920s he shares Hitler's resolve to rid
242
00:12:38,159 --> 00:12:40,919
Germany of the
243

Jews and his right-hand man SS General

00:12:44,399 --> 00:12:50,320
Reinhardt hyri is even more
245
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:53,879
terrifying he found in his subordinate
246
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:56,680
rhynard hyri absolutely the perfect man
247
00:12:53,879 --> 00:12:59,278
to carry out the destruction of a people
248
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:01,078
as head of the Nazi Security Forces
249
00:12:59,278 --> 00:13:04,679
Reinhardt hydrick is one of the most
250
00:13:01,078 --> 00:13:07,159
feared men in Germany if you gave Hitler
251
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:10,239
a piece of paper and asked them to
252
00:13:07,159 --> 00:13:13,000
sketch out the perfect Nazi I think he
253
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:18,079
probably would have sketched out rard
254
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:21,600
hydri he was tall he was blonde he was
255
00:13:18,078 --> 00:13:25,198
athletic he is a man of many
256
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:27,639
talents a champion fencer a fighter
257
00:13:25,198 --> 00:13:30,719
pilot a skilled
258
00:13:27,639 --> 00:13:32,480
violinist but above all he is a
259
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,360
fanatical
260
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:39,240
Nazi he had all the characteristics that
261
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:42,639
made him the Aryan Superman hyri really
262
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:45,039
is the rising man of the Nazi racial
263
00:13:42,639 --> 00:13:45,039
killing
264
00:13:46,799 --> 00:13:51,599
machine since
265
00:13:48,799 --> 00:13:53,639
1939 hydri has been wreaking havoc in
266
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:57,120
the conquered territories in the
267
00:13:53,639 --> 00:14:01,680
East his secret death squads the einat
268
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,679
grouin slaughter thousands of of Polish
269
00:14:01,919 --> 00:14:06,198
Jews those who survive are rounded up
270
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:09,040
into
271
00:14:06,198 --> 00:14:11,599
ghettos nearly 3 million await their
272
00:14:09,039 --> 00:14:14,679
fate in appalling
273
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:17,079
conditions then hydri SS thugs follow
274
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:19,519
Germany's armies into the Soviet
275
00:14:17,078 --> 00:14:22,519
Union continuing their murderous
276
00:14:19,519 --> 00:14:22,519
campaign against the
277
00:14:24,159 --> 00:14:31,799
Jews news of hydri massacres in the East
278
00:14:28,078 --> 00:14:31,799
begins to trickle back home to
279
00:14:32,198 --> 00:14:38,679
Germany dear Hana last night 150 Jews
280
00:14:35,879 --> 00:14:41,759
were shot in this town men women and
281
00:14:38,679 --> 00:14:41,758
children all bumped
282
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:50,040
off don't worry about it it has to be
283
00:14:46,159 --> 00:14:53,198
done but don't tell anyone
284
00:14:50,039 --> 00:14:56,120
else many thousands of Germans now know
285
00:14:53,198 --> 00:14:56,120
what is happening out
286
00:14:56,159 --> 00:15:02,679
east but they do nothing
287
00:15:00,559 --> 00:15:04,919
it confirms what the Nazis Leed from the
288
00:15:02,679 --> 00:15:07,319
euthanasia
289
00:15:04,919 --> 00:15:10,719
program they can get away with killing
290
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:13,120
Jews out of sight far from
291
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,759
home so this was something that was
292
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:18,440
percolating
293
00:15:14,759 --> 00:15:20,639
outwards inside Nazi Germany it was sort
294
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:24,480
of um you know the secret that would
295
00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:24,480
never dare to speak its
296
00:15:25,799 --> 00:15:32,198
name as hydri plots a far bigger attack
297
00:15:29,078 --> 00:15:34,879
on the Jews he needs Authority from
298
00:15:32,198 --> 00:15:38,198
above he can't get it from Hitler who
299
00:15:34,879 --> 00:15:38,198
wants to keep his involvement
300
00:15:39,799 --> 00:15:46,000
secret so hydri turns to someone
301
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,360
else and prepares one of the most
302
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,720
important documents in the story of the
303
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,720
final
304
00:15:52,759 --> 00:16:00,919
solution he takes his secret letter to
305
00:15:55,879 --> 00:16:00,919
the home of right Marshall heron guring
306
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:08,560

charge of Nazi Jewish
308
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:17,519
policy what hydri wants is ging's
309
00:16:14,679 --> 00:16:21,159
signature authorizing him to produce a
310
00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:23,839
plan for the Naz intended final solution
311
00:16:21,159 --> 00:16:26,559
to the Jewish
312
00:16:23,839 --> 00:16:29,759
question this is the stamp of approval
313
00:16:26,559 --> 00:16:29,758
he needs
314
00:16:31,519 --> 00:16:37,078
but it will be another 5 months before
315
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,079
hydri has his plan in
316
00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:47,278

338
00:17:39,079 --> 00:17:45,798

layer the Nazis call it sardine
341
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:56,798
packing here we see a massive escalation
342
00:17:54,759 --> 00:17:59,440
of the policy of extermination of the
343
00:17:56,798 --> 00:18:04,200
Jews going on in effect
344
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:07,038

351
00:18:22,839 --> 00:18:28,319
days as hydri ramps up the slaughter he
352
00:18:26,599 --> 00:18:33,519
finds he doesn't have enough of his
353
00:18:28,319 --> 00:18:33,519
racist SS thugs he needs new
354
00:18:34,079 --> 00:18:38,240
recruits there is some evidence that
355
00:18:36,079 --> 00:18:41,000
there was a bit more resistance to to
356
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,079
taking part in the killings than than
357
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,319
perhaps there would have been in the IR
358
00:18:42,079 --> 00:18:46,558
at grion but this was by and large
359
00:18:44,319 --> 00:18:48,879
overcome and it was done by by the use
360
00:18:46,558 --> 00:18:51,279
of for example alcohol uh given out
361
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:53,720
freely uh to these people that would
362
00:18:51,279 --> 00:18:56,440
anesthetize them against the against the
363
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,880
effects if you like of seeing large
364
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,240
numbers of people killed in front of

them
366
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:05,798
but hyri knows this Mass killing is
367
00:19:02,599 --> 00:19:08,719
still taking its toll on his
368
00:19:05,798 --> 00:19:11,480
men most of these men rapidly became
369
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:14,400
horribly troubled and Disturbed and it's
370
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:18,200
very largely this experience which
371
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:23,200
pushes himla and hyrich to look for
372
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:23,200
other ways of killing huge numbers of
373
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:35,120
people back home Hitler is still looking
374
00:19:31,519 --> 00:19:37,079
for a way to deal with the 200,000 Jews
375
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:40,639
living in

crosses so gal's propaganda machine has
381
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:55,480
to be mobilized to create a sense of
382
00:19:52,919 --> 00:19:59,640
difference to set them apart from their
383
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,640
pureblood German Neighbors
384
00:20:00,679 --> 00:20:06,400
stage one give them a
385
00:20:03,159 --> 00:20:08,360
star a Jewish German and a non-jewish
386
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,080
German may not look that different but
387
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,639
what you can do is label them with a
388
00:20:10,079 --> 00:20:15,599
star and it's the yellow star is
389
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:18,360
absolutely key to differentiating them
390
00:20:15,599 --> 00:20:21,879
and it starts kind of staining
391
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:25,279
them anyone above the age of six is
392
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:27,760
obliged to wear the yellow star of
393
00:20:25,279 --> 00:20:29,200
David this is the real moment at which
394
00:20:27,759 --> 00:20:32,240
they really say to the people on the
395
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:34,519
streets these people are different from
396
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:38,240
everybody else they're not German they
397
00:20:34,519 --> 00:20:41,038
are Jewish and the Jews are an unwanted
398
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:44,679
race in our third
399
00:20:41,038 --> 00:20:47,919
right stage two is to make sure Germans
400
00:20:44,679 --> 00:20:49,120
do not socialize with Jews to keep them
401
00:20:47,919 --> 00:20:51,880
physically
402
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:54,319
apart don't be foed into thinking ah
403
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:56,720
he's nice because I know him he's a Jew
404
00:20:54,319 --> 00:21:00,079
they're Jews and therefore they're a
405
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:02,440
threat Geral keeps up a stream of
406
00:21:00,079 --> 00:21:05,000
propaganda carrying the Insidious
407
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,320
message that it's not the Nazis who are
408
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,079
turning on the
409
00:21:06,319 --> 00:21:11,240
Jews the Jews have brought this misery
410
00:21:09,079 --> 00:21:13,960
on
411
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:19,038
themselves for one of his slogans of the
412
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:19,038
weak he uses a quote from
413
00:21:19,159 --> 00:21:24,840
Hitler if the international Jewish
414
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:28,120
finers should succeed in plunging the
415
00:21:24,839 --> 00:21:30,599
Nations once more into a World War then
416
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:33,798
the result will not be the victory of
417
00:21:30,599 --> 00:21:35,759
jury but the annihilation of the Jewish
418
00:21:33,798 --> 00:21:38,858
race in
419
00:21:35,759 --> 00:21:38,858
[Applause]
420
00:21:40,679 --> 00:21:46,240
Europe it is a masterful piece of
421
00:21:43,679 --> 00:21:47,320
propaganda it absolves the German people
422
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,359
of any
423
00:21:47,319 --> 00:21:51,759
guilt the Jews will be responsible for
424
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,639
their own
425
00:21:51,759 --> 00:21:56,720
destruction the
426
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:59,559
single most disturbing thing that Geral
427
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:02,880
achieved that was scapegoating he was
428
00:21:59,558 --> 00:22:02,879
polluting the mind of a
429
00:22:03,278 --> 00:22:09,319
Nation slowly but surely the Nazis are
430
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:12,480
grooming German citizens to accept the
431
00:22:09,319 --> 00:22:14,839
removal of the 200,000 Jews still living
432
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,839
as their
433
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:28,720
neighbors however even now they are wary
434
00:22:24,599 --> 00:22:31,000
of inflaming domestic public opinion
435
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,759
the Hardline is softened for public
436
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,679
consumption so that people who are
437
00:22:32,759 --> 00:22:36,599
already been trained to be anti-jewish
438
00:22:34,679 --> 00:22:39,840

Jews are to be resettled in the

444
00:22:52,599 --> 00:22:55,959
can't just say uh publicly it's right
445
00:22:54,759 --> 00:22:58,000
we're going to kill 6 million people
446
00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:01,079
tomorrow morning um you know you you got
447
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,119
to do a bit more subtly than that um and
448
00:23:01,079 --> 00:23:05,119
you know when you're talking about
449
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:06,359
evacuating people to the east um you've
450
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:09,359
got to make it look as though they
451
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:11,399
really are just being evacuated to the
452

Territory news reels are released
456
00:23:20,798 --> 00:23:26,639
showing it as a safe place where German
457
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,640
Jews can
458
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,798
resettle and it was for provided with
459
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:34,880
facilities that many ordinary Germans
460
00:23:30,798 --> 00:23:38,158
didn't have um swimming pools complex of
461
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:40,120
Cinemas massage areas the idea being
462
00:23:38,159 --> 00:23:42,640
that although we've removed the Jew from
463
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:44,678
our midst we're not making him suffer
464
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,880
because we're giving him a way of life
465
00:23:44,679 --> 00:23:47,460
which is perfectly consistent with
466
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,799
civilized

deceit for most Jews teresian stat is
470
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,759
really just a stop before they are sent
471
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:03,289
on their way to the horrific ghettos in
472
00:24:00,759 --> 00:24:04,599

terrifying elements of the Nazi regime
476
00:24:08,079 --> 00:24:12,558
is they're doing performing murder and
477
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:15,329
terrible crimes but at the same time
478
00:24:12,558 --> 00:24:18,119

[Music]
480
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:24,599
correct but hyrri's deportation of the

German Jews creates a new

00:24:24,599 --> 00:24:30,000
problem out in the East the ghettos are
483
00:24:27,759 --> 00:24:33,000
already crammed
484
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:35,359
full because of the overcrowding local
485
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,919
Nazi leaders in the occupied
486
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:40,519
territories start to kill Jews to make
487
00:24:37,919 --> 00:24:40,520
space for the

Solution Ian was a virent anti-site he
525
00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:00,798
was a uh very uh passionate man man in
526
00:26:58,519 --> 00:27:04,119
many ways he was a drunkard he had
527
00:27:00,798 --> 00:27:05,519
affairs he was a very committed Nazi and
528
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,319
he really felt that what he was doing
529
00:27:05,519 --> 00:27:10,000
was absolutely right and he wasn't just
530
00:27:07,319 --> 00:27:11,480
doing it because he was a a boring civil
531
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,079
servant he was doing it because he
532
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,079
wanted to kill
533
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:20,840
Jews his role today is to keep the
534
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:24,480
minutes of the
535
00:27:20,839 --> 00:27:25,720
meeting the mood is relaxed despite the
536
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:31,880
Sinister
537
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:31,880
agenda Ian's Superior hydri is in the
538
00:27:37,159 --> 00:27:43,799
chair first hydri makes it clear his
539
00:27:41,159 --> 00:27:47,200
authority comes from the very top via
540
00:27:43,798 --> 00:27:49,960
guring Hitler's number two and what he
541
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:52,319
is putting forward is an SS run
542
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:54,600
operation what hydri had to do was to
543
00:27:52,319 --> 00:27:57,519
establish that what he was doing or
544
00:27:54,599 --> 00:28:00,719
proposing at van was in fact the fur's
545
00:27:57,519 --> 00:28:03,839
policy the meeting is so sensitive the
546
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:07,440
only reference to the Nazis real plan is
547
00:28:03,839 --> 00:28:09,599
in the careful language of Ian's minutes
548
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:12,159
the Jews already under German control
549
00:28:09,599 --> 00:28:15,439
will be put to work in the East the
550
00:28:12,159 --> 00:28:17,240
majority will die those that survive
551
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:20,200
will have to be dealt with
552
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:24,079
appropriately dealt with appropriately
553
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:27,080
is code for what we know as the final
554
00:28:24,079 --> 00:28:29,240
solution the plan is to kill all of the
555
00:28:27,079 --> 00:28:32,639
11 million Jew Jews in
556
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,640
Europe it is
557
00:28:38,278 --> 00:28:44,278
genocide this is a task too big for
558
00:28:41,398 --> 00:28:44,278
hydrix death
559
00:28:45,519 --> 00:28:50,519

00:28:48,679 --> 00:28:52,960
industrial
561
00:28:50,519 --> 00:28:56,720
scale what Hydra brought to the table
562
00:28:52,960 --> 00:29:00,120
was an incredibly analytical mind a very
563
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:03,759
very cold evil way of thinking that
564
00:29:00,119 --> 00:29:06,639
could just regard genocide as a kind of
565
00:29:03,759 --> 00:29:08,679
uh challenge for a civil servant hydri
566

00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:42,120
the victims soon die of carbon monoxide

happened there it's terrifying because
664
00:33:36,638 --> 00:33:41,038
it's remote it's dark it's lonely and
665
00:33:39,519 --> 00:33:44,399

to get rid of these Jews without

really going

00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:50,838
on the answer is the familiar Nazi
692
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:53,320
tactic
693
00:34:50,838 --> 00:34:56,519

694
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:59,519
are being resettled sent to a safe

on Germans and Jews this is probably the
702
00:35:17,639 --> 00:35:21,679

706
00:35:28,119 --> 00:35:33,880

707
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:36,400
resettlement in the East might actually
708
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:39,280

the Nazis are carrying out their final
760
00:38:13,119 --> 00:38:18,519
solution to the Jewish question it is
761
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:29,920
genocide at the end of

00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,039
been

00:38:41,679 --> 00:38:48,078
killed Hitler's vision is being
768
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:51,119
fulfilled there was a time when the Jews
769
00:38:48,079 --> 00:38:54,039
in Germany laughed at my prophecies but
770
00:38:51,119 --> 00:38:56,119
take my word for it they will stop
771
00:38:54,039 --> 00:38:58,400
laughing

00:38:56,119 --> 00:39:01,280

outright out in Poland the Nazis are
776
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,480
less discreet in their
777
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:18,679
killing the midanik Concentration Camp

house Soviet prisoners of

War under SS control it becomes another
782
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:35,439
Grim destination for tens of thousands
783
00:39:30,679 --> 00:39:38,399
of Polish Jews shipped in as forced
784
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:41,119
laborers living in the most brutal
785
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:43,920
conditions many of them will die from
786
00:39:41,119 --> 00:39:43,920
sickness and
787
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:51,160
exhaustion as a key part of the Nazis

Final Solution the camp is equipped with

00:39:51,159 --> 00:39:54,159
facilities for

00:39:59,119 --> 00:40:05,160
used in the gas
792
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:09,240
Chambers and a crematorium is installed
793
00:40:05,159 --> 00:40:12,358
with ovens to burn thousands of
794
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:15,559
bodies death camps slave labor camps
795
00:40:12,358 --> 00:40:17,440
extermination camps it's hard to Define
796
00:40:15,559 --> 00:40:20,920
which is Wich at some
797
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:23,039
points all we know is people are dying
798
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:25,639
they're dying through a number of ways
799
00:40:23,039 --> 00:40:27,759
starvation some are being gassed some
800
00:40:25,639 --> 00:40:30,400
are being systematically killed some are
801
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:34,000
being beaten to
802
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:37,079
death 200 miles to the West one of the
803
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:41,838
largest polish work camps is transformed
804
00:40:37,079 --> 00:40:41,839
into the Nazis most notorious killing
805
00:40:42,199 --> 00:40:49,039
machine and it is here at alitz
806
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:52,599
burkau that the mass murder of the final
807
00:40:49,039 --> 00:40:55,400
solution will reach a truly barbaric
808
00:40:52,599 --> 00:40:57,920
level alongside a vast industrial
809
00:40:55,400 --> 00:41:01,240
complex himler orders the construction
810
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:06,720
of gas Chambers and crematoria capable
811
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:06,719
of slaughtering up to 6,000 people every
812
00:41:07,599 --> 00:41:13,920
day and the Nazis now have a new
813
00:41:10,599 --> 00:41:16,480
technique for murder a chemical designed
814
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,480
to kill
815
00:41:16,519 --> 00:41:24,318
pests zyclone B is a cyanide based
816
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:27,919
substance in a warm moist atmosphere it
817
00:41:24,318 --> 00:41:30,599
turns from pellets into a highly toxic
818
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:33,440
gas the death cells were constructed
819
00:41:30,599 --> 00:41:36,440
with with either pipes into them at high
820
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:38,240
level or holes in the roof through which
821
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:41,000
the pellets could be
822
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:44,799
dropped the killer pesticide is soon
823
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:47,519
being used by the Nazis on a massive
824
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:50,359
scale they are moving here into
825
00:41:47,519 --> 00:41:52,559
absolutely new territory nobody in
826
00:41:50,358 --> 00:41:54,159
history has attempted to do something
827
00:41:52,559 --> 00:41:56,759
like this before
828
00:41:54,159 --> 00:41:59,639
so they they they they are literally
829
00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:03,119
finding ing their
830
00:41:59,639 --> 00:42:06,000
way manufacturing zeyon B boosts the
831
00:42:03,119 --> 00:42:08,200
profits of Germany's chemical industry
832
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:10,880
the complicity of the great
833
00:42:08,199 --> 00:42:13,078
manufacturing chemical companies is
834
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,240
obvious they later at nurenberg and
835
00:42:13,079 --> 00:42:16,720
afterward said we didn't know it it's
836
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:18,399
being useful why would you need zeyon be
837
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:20,759
on that scale of production if it wasn't
838
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,760
against
839
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:27,199
people by this stage many more Germans
840
00:42:25,159 --> 00:42:28,719
are becoming aware of what is happening
841
00:42:27,199 --> 00:42:32,838
to the
842
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:35,598
Jews there's one amazing incident where
843
00:42:32,838 --> 00:42:37,799
a a freight train was going towards aitz
844
00:42:35,599 --> 00:42:39,960
and one of the survivors said that he
845
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:42,160
was in this freight train and he said
846
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:44,920
that at one of the train stations at a
847
00:42:42,159 --> 00:42:48,239
German station somebody shouted we know
848
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:50,240
where you're going to the gas Chambers
849
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:52,078
so you can see that in these little
850
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,879
towns even people knew what was
851
00:42:52,079 --> 00:42:55,800
happening so I imagine in that
852
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:58,838
particular freight train then there was
853
00:42:55,800 --> 00:43:01,839
a certain amount of trepid
854
00:42:58,838 --> 00:43:03,838
to help Finance his evil plans himler
855
00:43:01,838 --> 00:43:05,159
turns the final solution into a
856
00:43:03,838 --> 00:43:08,719
commercial
857
00:43:05,159 --> 00:43:10,118
partnership between the SS and Germany's
858
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:13,439
corporate
859
00:43:10,119 --> 00:43:16,599
Giants the SS make a fortune leasing out
860
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:20,800
their Jewish prisoners men women and
861
00:43:16,599 --> 00:43:23,240
children to work in IG faron's factories
862
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:26,720
we can actually see that in The Killing
863
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:30,679
process we do have partners in crime
864
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:33,558
here not just the Nazis but also here a
865
00:43:30,679 --> 00:43:36,598
massive capitalist Enterprise that
866
00:43:33,559 --> 00:43:40,079
enters into this project with the Nazis
867
00:43:36,599 --> 00:43:43,079
and actually finances
868
00:43:40,079 --> 00:43:46,000
it and it's not just big business that's
869
00:43:43,079 --> 00:43:49,039
implicated in genocide thousands of
870
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:51,079
ordinary Germans are making their own
871
00:43:49,039 --> 00:43:53,558
contribution so you've got the train
872
00:43:51,079 --> 00:43:55,880
driver driving a trainload of Jews
873
00:43:53,559 --> 00:43:57,440
across Europe he knows what's going on
874
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:59,358
but he's not asking any questions you've
875
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,838
got the civil servant working in some
876
00:43:59,358 --> 00:44:03,199
small Department in Berlin who's
877
00:44:00,838 --> 00:44:04,799
probably responsible for supplying the
878
00:44:03,199 --> 00:44:07,719
cattle trucks for a certain shipment of
879
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:09,720
Jews he's just following orders but what
880
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:12,039
you've got are a lot of very small cogs
881
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:13,399
each of whom think well I'm not really
882
00:44:12,039 --> 00:44:15,519
taking part in this I'm just doing a
883
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:18,280
small thing but when you put all those
884
00:44:15,519 --> 00:44:21,199
cogs together then you've got a murder
885
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:25,160
machine but when you take it apart each
886
00:44:21,199 --> 00:44:27,598
of those cogs can say it wasn't me with
887
00:44:25,159 --> 00:44:30,000
this complicity of Silence
888
00:44:27,599 --> 00:44:31,920
no German needs to speak openly about
889
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:36,559
the final
890
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:36,559
solution no one needs to take
891
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:42,838
responsibility and all of this seems to
892
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:45,160
happen with barely a flicker of protest
893
00:44:42,838 --> 00:44:45,159
back
894
00:44:45,519 --> 00:44:51,119
home by
895
00:44:47,519 --> 00:44:56,159
1943 himler is able to declare that
896
00:44:51,119 --> 00:44:59,039
Germany itself is almost uden rine Jew
897
00:44:56,159 --> 00:44:59,039
free
898
00:44:59,318 --> 00:45:03,558
the only resistance comes in one
899
00:45:01,639 --> 00:45:06,480
celebrated
900
00:45:03,559 --> 00:45:10,519
event when the Nazis tried to deport a
901
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:10,519
group of Jews married to German
902
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:17,079
women famous occasion known as the Rosen
903
00:45:14,119 --> 00:45:19,119
straser Affair where a number of Jewish
904
00:45:17,079 --> 00:45:22,720
men who had been rounded up their
905
00:45:19,119 --> 00:45:24,640
non-jewish wives came together and
906
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:28,399
protested on
907
00:45:24,639 --> 00:45:31,598
mass outside Nazi officials houses and
908
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:35,960
buildings such was their determination
909
00:45:31,599 --> 00:45:39,160
that threats to them to disperse went
910
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:41,199
unheeded when the protests become public
911
00:45:39,159 --> 00:45:43,000
it causes real consternation at the
912
00:45:41,199 --> 00:45:45,960
highest
913
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:47,880
levels even now the Nazis are scared of
914
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:50,960
admitting what is really going
915
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:52,960
on and the Nazi officials eventually
916
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:56,000
came to the conclusion far better to
917
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:57,480
give way than to try and face them down
918
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,960
and the husbands were allowed to go back
919
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:02,880
to the
920
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:06,000
wives they even reprieve 35 Jews who had
921
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:06,000
already been sent to
922
00:46:10,318 --> 00:46:16,558
aitz but the Rosen stasa protest is an
923
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,559
isolated
924
00:46:20,119 --> 00:46:28,240
occasion by now the vast majority of
925
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:30,720
Germans have other things to worry about
926
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:34,719
they are starting to lose the war and
927
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,719
their first concern is their own
928
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:39,200
families they were being you know bombed
929
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:42,440
Around the Clock by the British and the
930
00:46:39,199 --> 00:46:45,159
Americans they had huge food shortages
931
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:48,920
um their own children were dying in
932
00:46:45,159 --> 00:46:50,078
droves on the Eastern Front um so you
933
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,000
know I think there was very little
934
00:46:50,079 --> 00:46:54,000
capacity within many people's minds to
935
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:57,800
actually really care about what was
936
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,800
happening to some Jews
937
00:46:58,199 --> 00:47:04,919
for Hinrich himler the final solution
938
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,920
represents a hideous
939
00:47:06,639 --> 00:47:13,440
Triumph a recording exists of his speech
940
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:17,639
to a secret meeting of ss
941
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:17,639
leaders he is openly
942
