Actually, Himmler made two speeches at Posen between October 4 and 6, 1943. He referred brutally and unequivocally to the policy and practice of exterminating the Jews. One of the speeches was recorded and still survives. Himmler’s words have been described by German writer Joachim Fest as “one of the most horrifying testaments in the German language”.
