We cannot store these Jews.

Emigration is over.

And the inevitable solution is what we,

together at this table...

...will discuss this afternoon.

We'll go on. You'll find a document

listing the remaining Jewish population...

...by country in Europe...

...and whatever the USSR or Russia

calls itself for the time it has left.

As I mentioned,

emigration policy will stop...

I apologize, sir. A call for Gen. Heydrich.

- See who it is, and end the calls.

- Yes, sir.

We will take but a moment.

Please sit, Dr. Kritzinger.

Make us all comfortable.

Where is this going?

Yes, this is Lt. Col. Eichmann.

I understand, Major, but the General

is to be free of calls at this time.

If you wish to explain the matter to me...

Yes?

Yes, I'm sure if you call his office, you...

Yes. Heil Hitler.

This meeting is not taking place.

You are to take no phone calls

for anyone at this meeting.

Anyone.

Unless the Fhrer calls, and he won't.

- Understood?

- Yes, sir.

Here is Field Marshall Reichenau

strapped to a chair...

...and put, convulsing, on the plane,

where he dies.

He wanted to retreat as deeply

as Rundstedt did, but...

...Rundstedt got his medal

and Reichenau, the hereafter.

Maj. Schussheim was reluctant

to give me any message.

He does not appreciate you as I do.

He does not appreciate you as I do.

Emigration.

The policy to replace that of emigration,

and we have enough experience...

...to do it well, is evacuation.

Which differs from emigration

in what way? Evacuation to where?

Let us postpone that question for a while.

- To hell, one hopes.

- Many already have.

- Do they even have a hell?

- They do now. We provide it.

We have received assurances that

these Jews are held in livable conditions.

You are postponing,

that is your prerogative.

Will I have an opportunity

to be heard on this?

On my word of honor.

If I may.

Austria:
43,700.

Occupied Eastern Territories: 420,000.

General Government: 2,284,000.

Bialystok:
400,000, and Moravia: 74,200.

- Estonia:
Not a one.

- The best thing I've heard about Estonia.

You have the list, I won't read it all.

Plenty in France, Romania, England.

USSR:
5 million.

In what is, or will be soon, our sphere

of control over 11 million chosen people.

- The changing definitions?

- Yes, go ahead.

Except that there are countries

that define Jewishness non-racially...

...merely as a religious practice:

England, America.

Therefore, by our racial principles...

...there may be many additional

uncounted Israelites.

And he speaks Jewish. He does!

He does!

What, then, confronts us here...

...in open discussion, which will inform

the choices we must make...

...is what to do...
