ABSTRACT

The Holocaust is written in Hitler's personal handwriting. Even in his last will and testament, written only hours before his death, he held to the murderous anti-Semitism that constituted his entire politics; and unlike his faithful servant, Heinrich Himmler, Hitler refused to make politics with the lives of Jews. Hitler would not agree to any arrange­ ment with the Allies that would save the life of even one Jew. He was the person ultimately responsible for Auschwitz and the other death camps, for the special commandos (even those for which the Wehrmacht was responsible) and the other elements of the murder machine that brought people to their death because they had the wrong grandparents.
