to be in touch with Col. Eichmann? 492 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,600 Yes. 493 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,520 Settled. Moving along. Now, a difficult problem. 494 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,400 My instinct is to be Alexandrian... 495 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,280 ...and solve a difficult tangle with a sharp, clean stroke this afternoon. 496 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,160 All our actions must be predicated on law. 497 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,120 {Y:i}Everything we've done is from the Nuremberg Laws... 498 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:09,000 ...which Dr. Stuckart brought forth to the Reichstag in 1935. 499 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,880 We now have to examine the Blood and Honor laws... 500 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,720 ...in regard to the problems of mixed marriages and persons of mixed blood. 501 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,560 Not only who is a Jew, but how, in each defined circumstance... 502 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,400 ...the Jew is expunged from society, the government, the economy... 503 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:24,320 ...through ordinances. 504 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,200 {Y:i}The tapestry, if you'll permit some pride. 505 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:31,080 The exemptions written into the law allow too many Jews to remain among us. 506 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,880 We address that problem by examining each category and every exemption. 507 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,720 {Y:i}There's been communication with the Chancellery Head... 508 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,640 {Y:i}...Lammers, who discussed these questions with the F�hrer. 509 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,040 You asked why you are here. You represent him. 510 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,400 And your own opinion. We would like that, too. 511 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,280 {Y:i}Lammers has indeed met with the F�hrer or his staff on this question... 512 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:51,200 ...and reached an understanding. 513 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,080 Dr. Kritzinger, can we come to a further understanding here? 514 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:56,960 What can we all agree on? 515 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,840 What I would like agreed here is that mixed-blood persons of the first degree... 516 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,640 ...they have two Jewish grandparents, they are half-Jews... 517 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,480 ...they are just Jews. They go. Their children go. 518 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,360 {Y:i}There are, in the law, as of now, two exceptions. If you would... 519 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,200 For first-degree mixed, if married to Germans with children... 520 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:17,120 {Y:i}...they're exempted. 521 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,520 Their children, second-degree mixed, would be treated as Germans. 522 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,880 The other exception is first-degree mixed who the Reich has chosen... 523 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,760 ...to honor with privilege for whatever reason. 524 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,680 We are talking here of men and women who live as Germans. 525 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,480 They do not worship or behave as Jews, but... 526 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,400 ...have some quantity of blood. - The genetic Jew. 527 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,280 {Y:i}In those cases, we'll examine each determination... 528 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,160 ...and perhaps revoke their exemption. 529 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,080 - The Nuremberg Laws... - Whoever receives exemption... 530 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,920 ...better have extraordinary merits, not just a German parent, husband or wife. 531 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,760 Those who are exempt from evacuation, they too will fall in certain categories... 532 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:52,680 {Y:i}Could you, General... Sorry. 533 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,520 I have the real feeling I evacuated 30,000 Jews already, by shooting them at Riga. 534 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,280 Is what I did evacuation? 535 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:06,120 When they fell, were they evacuated? 536 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,000 There are another 20,000, at least, waiting for similar evacuation. 537 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,760 I just think it is helpful to know what words mean. 538 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,560 With all respect. 539 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,360 {Y:i}If I might, I think it's unnecessary to burden the record... 540 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:29,200 Yes. In my personal opinion, they are evacuated. 541 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,080 - Explain. - I have just done so. 542 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,000 That is contrary to what the Chancellery has been told. 543 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,840 I have directly been assured! 544 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,600 {Y:i}Purge the Jews, yes. But to annihilate them... 545 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,320 That we have undertaken to systematically... 546 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,240 ...annihilate
