The townspeople, enthusiastic at the sight of their suffering neighbor, urged on the SA man with cheers. (Goldhagen, 94) 1942 Joseph Goebbels confided in his diary: "The Jews will now be relocated from the Generalgouvernement to the East, starting with Lublin. A fairly barbaric procedure will be used here, one that cannot be precisely described. Not many of the Jews will be left over. Roughly speaking, one can be sure that 60 percent of them will have to be liquidated..." (Quoted by Eberhard Jaeckel, Frankfurter Alklgemeine Zeitung ...from Institut fuer Zeitgeschichte, F 12/8, fols. 803-4. Fleming, 63) 1943 At a White House conference with President Roosevelt and British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, Secretary of State Cordell Hull reports that more than sixty thousand Bulgarian Jews are threatened with extinction "unless we could get them out." Eden urges caution, saying that if the Bulgarian Jews are rescued, "then the Jews of the world will be wanting us to make similar efforts in Poland and Germany....Hitler might well take us up on any such offer and there are simply not enough ships and means of transportation in the world to handle them." No decision is made. Eden makes the same point in a meeting with American- Jewish leaders.
