February 1

1939

Pastor Heinrich Grueber -- a deeply humane, compassionate,
and charitable clergyman, who was head of a bureau created
by the Protestant Church to aid Jewish converts to
Christianity and who iin 1940 was imprisoned for having
protested the deportation of Jews -- even someone no less
than this heroic German held believes about Jews which were
akin to those of the Nazis. In an interview with a Dutch
newspapers ... he criticized the Dutch for their refusal to
accept the notion of a "rootless Jewry," a notion which, as
he put it approvingly, "one gladly speaks in National
Socialist Germany." He went on to say that the Dutch needed
to recognize that there is indeed a worldwide "Jewish
Problem" and to refrain from criticizing Germany, which had
given an "example" of how that problem is to be tackled.  (Goldhagen, 113)

1940

Reichsfuehrer SS Himmler orders inspections of potential sites
for a planned concentration camp. Among those inspected was the
