ABSTRACT
On 16 November 1941 Goebbels wrote a lengthy article in ‘Das Reich’, the leading quality weekly in Nazi Germany, in which he claimed that Adolf Hitler’s prophecy of 30 January 1939 had been realised. The attempt to segregate German Jews were not entirely successful. Mass emigration in wartime was no longer possible and Heinrich Himmler suggested in October 1939 that the Jews should be concentrated in the area around Lublin in eastern Poland. On 20 March 1941 State Secretary Leopold Gutterer of the Propaganda Ministry called a meeting with K. Eichmann and Albert Speer to discuss the fate of the Berlin Jews. Although Polish Jews were forced to wear a Star of David Stewart immediately after the occupation, a similar measure was not introduced in the Reich until September 1941. The French continued to protest and demanded that the Jews should be sent back to Baden and the Palatinate.
