If one studies a bit, a remarkable picture emerges @earthworm
"All the evidence is that the extermination of the Jews was only decided upon after all other solutions had been tried and found wanting."
— Tony Greenstein "Zionism During the Holocaust", Chapter 5 (New Generation Publishing, 2022)
"I hope completely to erase the concept of Jews through the possibility of a great emigration of all Jews to a colony in Africa or elsewhere… However cruel and tragic each individual case may be, this method is still the mildest and best if one rejects the Bolshevik method of physical extermination of a people as un-German and impossible."
— Memo, Himmler to Hitler, May 1940; Browning, "Nazi Resettlement Policy", p. 510. See also Bauer, "Who Was Responsible and When", pp. 142-3.
