Heydrich - Commander of the Security Lines at SS

Among the tens of thousands of books by the National Library in Jerusalem, this week I found a forgotten book that no one has touched in years. It is one of a kind. Name of the book: SS - Combat Organization...", by Heinrich Himmler.

The first page of this book is adorned with a rubber stamp, bearing a swastika and the words:
"Party, The German National Socialist Workers - Haifa Branch. "

Under the stamp, a personal dedication in this language: "Dedicated cordially to the party branch in Haifa - Berlin, November 2, 1937 The National Commander of the SS."

Below that, his personal signature
By Heinrich Himmler, in blue ink.

The date is not accidental. A month earlier, on October 2, 1937, the SS sergeant had visited. Adolf Eichmann in Haifa. He stayed in town for a few hours, met with local Nazis and boarded a taxi on Mount Carmel, before continuing on his way to Cairo, due to lack of permission to stay in the country.

Eichmann's report on this trip bears the date - 4.11.37 and there is no doubt that Himmler
Sent the book as a gift to the Haifa branch at the request of Eichmann (through his superiors), as a token of gratitude to the Haifa Nazis.

The first chapter of the book is dedicated to Jews; It states that

the war of the Aryan peoples against Jewish ... has been going on for thousands of years...And for evidence: Haman's fate. Hamman was the prime minister of the Persian nation, which is (so called) an Aryan nation. He understood the Jewish (sic) "danger" and decided to solve the (sic) "problem" of the Jews. But Judaism has mobilized all its forces against Haman...."

These "wisdom" words of Heinrich Himmler are not important in themselves. They prove, at most, that the chief commander of the SS. Suffering, in addition to its racist madness, is also historiosophical.

However, there is one detail in this description, which is extremely important. Himmler notes that Haman decided to "resolve the problem of the Jews."

Himmler does not specify what the proposed solution was. But the Bible itself teaches that the solution will be through the destruction of peoples, the physical extermination of the Jews throughout the empire.

The mighty Persian, from India to Kush:

"And books were sent by the hand of the runners (couriers) to all the king's provinces to destroy, massacre, and exterminate all the Jews, young and old, children and women, on a single day [on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month—that is, the month of Adar—] and to plunder their possessions."

It is probable that in writing this book, Heinrich Himmler did not yet dream of the physical extermination of the Jews of the world. ... Yet the wording of this book proves that the seed of extermination lay in the very essence of the Nazi racist conception, and that this was its consistent conclusion, (even if) the conception designers did not even think of it in the first place, in full consciousness.

Anti-Semitic racism was at the heart of the Nazi worldview. And the extermination of the Jews was the core of the antisemitic conception.

Such was the case when Himmler wrote this book - and when Corporal SS in 1935, Adolf Eichmann reported for the first time to work in the 112th, 2nd Department of the Jewish Department of the Chief Bureau of the Security Service.
