The approaching finale
The prophecy of the Fuehrer

There were two ways which might have led to a liberation of Europe from the Jews : Expulsion or extermination! Both methods have been tried in the course of the centuries, but they were never carried to a conclusion. In the thirteenth century there was an expulsion of Jews from England ; a century later one from France. Towards the end of the fifteenth century the Jews were expelled from Spain and Portugal, and this also took place in Germany and the eastern European countries. However, as this forcible expulsion was not employed simultaneously by all the nations, its success was bound to be denied to Europe as a whole. For when a Jew was expelled from one country he emigrated to a part of the continent where the expulsion of Jews had not yet been carried out, or where it had already died down. Thus the Jew wandered from one country to another during the mediaeval expulsions of Jews, and in the end he still remained the victor. Just as the expuIsion of Jews merely led to temporary partial successes because of the disunity in the procedure by the European nations, so could the attempt at extermination not lead to any result either, because the extermination. was carried out in small numbers and in a few countries only.

The teaching of Christianity had stood in the way of a radical solution of the Jewish problem in Europe. The Christian teaching which conceded to the Jewish people the title "God's people," the protection of the commandment of "love thy neighbour," a commandment which even demands that the neighbour known to be an enemy is not excluded : "If someone smite you on the right cheek, offer him your left cheek as well" * * *

Fate has decreed that it was finally left to the 20th century to see the total solution of the Jewish problem. Just how this solution will be achieved has been made known to the European nations and to entire non-Jewish humanity in a proclamation read out by the Fuehrer of the German people on the 24th February 1942 (the 22nd anniversary of the day on which the N. S. D. A. P. was founded).

Today the ideas of our Nationalsocialist and those of the Fascist revolution have conquered large and mighty nations and my prophecy will find its fulfillment, that in this war not the Aryan race will be destroyed, but the Jew will be exterminated. Whatever else this struggle may lead to, or however long it may endure, this will be the final result. And only then, after the removal of these parasites, will there be a long period of understanding amongst nations, and hence real peace will come to the suffering world.
