A hint of the possibility of pogroms against the Jews was made by Paul Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda and Public Enlightenment, in an address delivered to a Nazi meeting at Frankfurt am Oder.

In discussing the German fight for equality, Minister Goebbels declared: "We treated the Jewish question altogether too loyally. If the Jewish problem were solved, not by authoritative government measures, but in a democratic fashion by the people, then the solution would have yielded quite different results."
