C. Browning ‘the Origins of the final solution’ p.
(University of Nebraska Press Yad Vashem, 2004)
Pg 1= The study of the months from September 1939 through March
1942 is crucial for understanding the Final Solution.
Pg 9-10= The bulk of the population did not clamor for antisemitic
measures. Most Germans were “onlookers” rather than “activists” but
accepted the legal measures of the regime, which ended emancipation
and drove the Jews from public positions in 1933, socially ostracized
them in 1935, and completed the expropriation of their property
in1938–39. Yet this majority was critical of the hooliganistic violence of
activists. The boycott of 1933, the vandalistic outbreaks of 1935, and
the Kristallnacht pogrom of November 1938 did not have a positive
reception among most of the German population (Could be the reason
final solution was not attempted earlier did not have backing- my
interpretation). Most people were more in support of the laws put
forward against Jews this was because they were non-violent. A gulf
opened between the people and the Jews due to Nazi policy. Hitler’s
antisemitism was central to his political outlook. Within the polycratic
regime, Hitler did not have to devise a blueprint, timetable, or grand
design for solving the ‘‘Jewish question.’’ He merely had to proclaim its
continuing existence and reward those who vied in bringing forth
various solutions.
Pg 11= In the end Final Solutions would become the only ones worthy
to Hitler. An acceptable Final solution would result in the “destruction
of the Jewish race in Europe”. Competitive polycracy created immense
pressures for the escalation of Nazi Jewish policy without broad public
support. The outbreak of war was what Hitler saw as what was going to
bring the end of the Jews. Bureaucracy was constantly placing greater
restrictions among the Jews even in 1942.
