Death by hanging...well, in view of the whole situation, I never expected anything different. It's all right. (Arthur Seyss-Inquart)

The Fuehrer declared that the Jews have played their final act in Europe, and therefore they have played their final act. View quote
Arthur Seyss-Inquart
The Jews are the enemy of National Socialism. From the time of their emancipation their methods were directed to the annihilation of the folkish and moral worth of the German people and to replace a national and responsible ideology with international nihilism. It was really they who stabbed the Army in the back which broke the resistance of the Germans in the First World War. The Jews are the enemy with whom no armistice or peace can be made. We will smite the Jews where we meet them and whoever goes along with them must take the consequences. View quote

I hope that this execution is the last act of the tragedy of the Second World War, and that the lesson taken from this world war will be that peace and understanding should exist between peoples. I believe in Germany. View quote
