On November
12, several days after Kristallnacht, high-ranking representatives
of the various Nazi state ministries and the SS met in Goering’s
office to consider all aspects of the "Jewish problem."
This forum discussed the problems that had come about after the
Kristallnacht devastation and decided to apply economic measures
against the Jews. Here, the Nazis adopted the forced-emigration
policy as a guideline for action. The goal now was to remove the
Jews from Germany by any possible means. The discussants also
decided to impose upon the Jews a fine of 1 billion reichsmarks
("for the murder of vom Rath") and to establish a Central
Jew Emigration Office. |
