What do Himmlers diaries reveal about the final solution to the Jewish problem?
Among other things, they reveal that the Final Solution was intended to kill as many Jews as possible and that it was ordered by Hitler. For example, a recently unearthed diary entry from December 18, 1941 contains the words “Judenfrage/als Partisanen auszurotten” (Jewish Question/to be exterminated as partisans). This was written, as the entry indicates, after a meeting with Hitler.
