The Amsterdam Nazi organ, Het Volk, demands “a radical solution of the Jewish problem” by giving the Jews a land which they may call their own and develop themselves, thereby “eliminating their bad characteristics.”
The paper asserts that anti-Jewish measures of German Commissioner Arthur Seyss-Inquart are satisfactory, but the Jews’ influence is still great. “They have disappeared from political and administrative life, but continue to exercise some sort of influence in people’s minds,” it declares. “Their influence can be destroyed only by further penetration of Nazi spirit and ideas in the Netherlands.”
