' IL RACE POLITICS
In this spirit Reich leader Alfred Rosenberg stated on 15 January 1939 in his speech at Detmold on the occasion of the sixth anniversary of the Landtag elections in Lippe: "For Germany the Jewish problem is solved only when the last Jew has left Germany."
The solution of the Jewish question is a problem not limited to Germany, but represents an international problem of the greatest importance. And so Reichsleiter Alfred Rosenberg, in his speech to the foreign diplomats and press in Berlin on 7 February 1939 ("Must theological fights result in enmity between states?"), "the necessity to gather the hundreds of thousands (of Jews) from Germany and later the millions of Jews from central and eastern Europe and settle them not in a disposed way, but compactly", and the further necessity "that a suggestion, organically justified, politically feasible and guaranteed for the future, be submitted for the benefit of all."
