34. At its very inception this movement depended on the deception and betrayal of one's fellow man; even at that time it was inwardly corrupt and could support itself only by constant lies. After all, Hitler states in an early edition of "his" book (a book written in the worst German I have ever read, in spite of the fact that it has been elevated to the position of the Bible in this nation of poets and thinkers); "It is unbelievable, to what extent one must betray a people in order to rule." We do not want to discuss here the question of the Jews, nor do we want in this leaflet to compose a defense or apology. No, only by way of example do we want to cite the fact that since the conquest of Poland three hundred thousand Jews have been murdered in this country in the most bestial way. Here we see the most frightful crime against human dignity, a crime that is unparalleled in the whole of history.
57. “ In Germany they first came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me – and by that time no one was left to speak up.” - Rev. Martin Niemoeller

60. The following quotes are from the Reich Press Chamber… it was their job to ensure censorship of German media outlets… the Chamber issued numerous directives regarding coverage of the 1936 Olympic Games… “ Press coverage should not mention that there are two non-Aryans among the women: Helene Mayer (fencing) and Gretel Bergmann (track and field).” July 16, 1936 “ The racial point of view should not be used in any way in reporting sports results; above all, Negroes should on be insensitively reported… Negroes are American citizens and must be treated with respect as Americans.” August 3, 1936

64. This is a portrait of two-year old Mania Halef, a Jewish child; Mania was among 33,771 persons shot by SS guards during the mass executions at Babi Yar, September 1941
65. The Final Solution Women, children and the old were to be sent for “special treatment” The young and fit would go through a process known as “destruction through work” Shooting was inefficient as the bullets were needed for the war effort Upon arrival the Jews would go through a process known as “selection” Jews were to be rounded up and put into transit camps called Ghettos The remaining Jews were to be shipped to “resettlement areas” in the East Conditions in the Ghettos were designed to be bad so that Jews would want to leave Jews living in the Ghettos were to be used as a cheap source of labor

71. German Tactics Deception Starvation Terror Jews were told they were going to “resettlement areas” Jews had to purchase their own train tickets Jewish workers were told to bring tools New arrivals were given postcards to send to their friends Jews in Ghettos were fed 1000 calories/day A human needs 2400 calories to maintain their weight Starving people can be manipulated and controlled easily The SS publically shot people for smuggling food or any other act of resistance

79. The Nazis believed that you could effectively work the fat right out of Jews by feeding them only 200 calories per day…
80. They were right… this is the same group of prisoners as in the previous picture, just six weeks later…
