The task of “solving the Jewish Problem” in Holland by having the Jews deported in groups from the country has been entrusted to the S.S., the Nazi Elite Guard, it was announced today over the Hilversum radio.
“In Holland it was against the law to insult any definite group of the population,” the broadcaster said. “This law made the fight for the liberation of the Teutonic man almost impossible. All the obstacles we found in our path when we were marching towards the natural way of living were of Jewish origin. It is the task of the S.S. to solve the Jewish question,” the broadcast concluded. “That this task is being accomplished successfully is proved by the latest developments.”
